Article Synopsis
- - A systematic review and meta-analysis compared surgery (ORIF with VLP) to conservative treatment (closed reduction and immobilization) for elderly patients (≥60 years) with acute displaced distal radius fractures, involving a comprehensive literature search and data analysis from multiple databases.
- - The results showed that while the surgical group had better radiological outcomes and lower DASH scores at 12 months, the differences were not statistically significant or clinically relevant according to established benchmarks.
- - Overall, the study concluded that for this patient group, surgical treatment does not offer meaningful advantages over conservative treatment when evaluated after one year, despite better imaging results.
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) play an important role in the functioning of mammalian cells and the central nervous system. However, available genetically encoded indicators for BCAAs are based on Förster resonance energy transfer and have a limited dynamic range. We developed a single fluorescent protein-based sensor for BCAAs, called NeIle, which is composed of circularly permutated mNeonGreen protein inserted into the leucine-isoleucine-valine binding protein (LIVBP) from bacteria.

The advent of advanced coatings has transformed material functionalities, extending their roles from basic coverage and visual appeal to include unique properties such as self-healing, superior hydrophobicity, and antimicrobial action. However, the traditional dependency on petrochemical-derived materials for these coatings raises environmental concerns. This study proposes the use of renewable and alternative materials for coating development.

However, the by-products of this pretreatment, including furaldehydes, lignin-derived phenolics, and carboxylic acids, can inhibit the enzymes and microbes used in the biotechnological process. In this study, LCB degrading enzymes of endophytic and litter fungi were screened for their tolerance to potential pretreatment-derived inhibitors.
