Analysis of enzyme kinetics of fungal methionine synthases in an optimized colorimetric microscale assay for measuring cobalamin-independent methionine synthase activity.

Aspergillus spp. and Rhizopus spp., used in solid-state plant food fermentations, encode cobalamin-independent methionine synthase activity (MetE, EC 2.

Inflammatory Potential of the Diet and Risk of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

Background: Association between dietary factors and the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been studied extensively. However, identification of deleterious dietary patterns merits further study.

Aim: To investigate the risk of developing Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) according to the inflammatory score of the diet (ISD) in the multinational European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.

Indicators of Return to Sports at Preinjury Levels Following Surgery for Chronic Ankle Instability: Comparison of ALR-RSI, AOFAS, and Karlsson Scores.

Background: While there are several scales for measuring patients' outcomes after chronic ankle instability (CAI) surgery, a study comparing the predictive ability of these scores with regard to return to sports (RTS) at the preinjury level is lacking.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare the Ankle Ligament Reconstruction-Return to Sport After Injury (ALR-RSI), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), and Karlsson scores in predicting 2-year RTS outcomes after arthroscopic treatment of CAI. It was hypothesized that ALR-RSI would be superior in predicting 2-year RTS outcomes after CAI surgery and that a quantifiable increase in this score would significantly improve RTS outcomes.

Simulations of Attosecond Metallization in Quartz and Diamond Probed with Inner-Shell Transient Absorption Spectroscopy.

When dielectrics are hit with intense infrared (IR) laser pulses, transient metalization can occur. The initial attosecond dynamics behind this metallization are not entirely understood. Therefore, simulations are needed to understand this process and to help interpret experimental observations of it, such as with attosecond transient absorption (ATA).

Open Latarjet Results in Lower Recurrent Instability and Revision Rates Than Arthroscopic Bankart Repair at 10-Year Follow-up: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To compare arthroscopic Bankart repair versus the open Latarjet procedure at a minimum of 10-year follow-up evaluating recurrence and arthropathy development rates.

Methods: A systematic review was performed in concordance with PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if they reported on the arthroscopic Bankart repair or open Latarjet procedure with a minimum of 10-year follow-up.
