Article Synopsis
  • Minimally Invasive Osteosynthesis (MIO) is a technique for orthopedic surgery that aims to provide less invasive treatment for fractures but currently lacks standardized guidelines.
  • A study analyzing 57 fractures in 53 patients treated with MIO between March 2017 and January 2022 focused on surgical techniques and outcomes, revealing low complication rates and effective healing.
  • The research concluded by establishing general principles for MIO, which can improve surgical efficiency and patient recovery across various types of fractures and locations.

Aims: To summarize the results of clinical studies of insulin icodec, an investigational insulin analog designed for once-weekly administration, in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Thirteen published articles describing clinical studies of insulin icodec were identified in PubMed, and data pertinent to key study outcomes were selected for inclusion in this review.

Results: In insulin-naïve and insulin-treated individuals, icodec demonstrated efficacy in glycaemic control superior or noninferior to that of insulins glargine U100, glargine U300 and degludec.

Background: Wound healing is a multistep process involving coordinated responses of a variety of cell types, cytokines, growth factors, and extracellular matrix (ECM) components leading to the physiological restoration of tissue integrity. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has been highlighted as an approach to improve the healing process, nonetheless at the molecular level, the effects of PBMT are not entirely understood.

Aim: To systematically review publications that investigated gene expression after PBMT during in vivo skin repair.
