Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the current practices of UK-based shoulder surgeons regarding the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs), focusing on their preferences for graft choices and indications for capsular reconstruction.
- - An online survey collected responses from 110 upper limb surgeons, revealing that traditional methods like partial cuff repair and reverse shoulder arthroplasty are the most commonly performed, while newer techniques like SCR and tendon transfers are used less frequently.
- - The findings highlight a need for further research to better understand the effectiveness and guidelines surrounding the less common treatments for irreparable RCTs, as many surgeons reported limited experience with these options.
Accurate and rapid diagnostics paired with effective tracking and tracing systems are key to halting the spread of infectious diseases, limiting the emergence of new variants and to monitor vaccine efficacy. The current gold standard test (RT-qPCR) for COVID-19 is highly accurate and sensitive, but is time-consuming, and requires expensive specialised, lab-based equipment. Herein, we report on the development of a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) rapid and inexpensive diagnostic platform that relies on a reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay and a portable smart diagnostic device.

February 2023
Unexplained physiological events (PE), possibly related to hypoxia and hyperventilation, are a concern for some air forces. Physiological monitoring could aid research into PEs, with measurement of arterial oxygen saturation (So₂) often suggested despite potential limitations in its use. Given similar physiological responses to hypoxia and hyperventilation, the present study characterized the cardiovascular and respiratory responses to each.

In particular, the degradability of its organic matter when spread on soil is still an ongoing topic. In an effort to better understand the processes and dynamics of digestate soil incubation, C and N mineralization kinetics obtained in 358 days long laboratory incubations during decomposition of digestates were simulated using a dynamic model.
