Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of internal fixation (IF) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) in treating non-displaced femoral neck fractures in patients over 65, focusing on surgical aggression, mortality, complications, and walking recovery after one year.
- Results indicate that IF leads to lower surgical aggression with shorter surgical times and less need for blood transfusion; however, HA has a significantly higher in-hospital mortality rate.
- Overall, while there are no major differences in long-term mortality or medical complications between the two methods, specific surgical complications vary, with higher rates of dislocations and periprosthetic fractures in HA, and fixation failures in IF.
Gibberellic acid (GA) is a tetracyclic diterpenoid carboxylic acid synthesized by the secondary metabolism of . This phytohormone is widely studied due to the advantages it offers as a plant growth regulator, such as growth stimulation, senescence delay, flowering induction, increased fruit size, and defense against abiotic or biotic stress, which improve the quality and yield of crops. Therefore, GA has been considered as an innovative strategy to improve agricultural production.

- The desynchronization of physiological and behavioral processes affects gut microbiota and eating habits in mammals, linking it to the rise of conditions like Type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, and metabolic syndrome.
- Recent findings suggest that resynchronizing these mechanisms could help control metabolic cycles and lower the risk of developing these chronic diseases.
- The review discusses how imbalances in gut microbiota (eubiosis versus dysbiosis) make individuals more susceptible to chronic diseases and advocates for chronotherapy as a preventive approach.
Despite use of tecovirimat since the beginning of the 2022 outbreak, few data have been published on its antiviral effect in humans. We here predict tecovirimat efficacy using a unique set of data in nonhuman primates (NHPs) and humans. We analyzed tecovirimat antiviral activity on viral kinetics in NHP to characterize its concentration-effect relationship in vivo.
