- The study aimed to evaluate whether children with elbow flexion contractures (EFC) due to brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) are at higher risk for developing shoulder contractures needing surgery.
- Researchers analyzed data from clinical evaluations of children under 2 years old with BPBI, comparing 72 cases of EFC to 230 controls, finding significant differences in shoulder range of motion and the likelihood of developing shoulder contracture.
- The findings suggest that EFC can help identify children at risk for shoulder contractures, highlighting the importance of early referral to specialized clinics to prevent complications.
Objective: The relationship between smoking and adolescents' peer relationships is complex, with studies showing increased risk of smoking for adolescents of both very high and very low social position. A key question is whether the impact of social position on smoking depends on an adolescent's level of coping motives (i.e.

Here, we present the first high-quality genome of D. coccinellae using a combination of short- and long-read sequencing technologies, followed by assembly and scaffolding of chromosomal segments using Chicago + HiC technologies.

- This study aimed to create a rabbit model to better understand chronic periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs), which are difficult to treat.
- The researchers injected bacteria into the rabbits' bone and monitored changes in inflammation and bone health over 28 days.
- Results showed that the introduction of bacteria led to significant inflammation and bone damage, confirming that this model can be used for future treatment research on PJIs.
Introduction: There have been limited advances in the treatment of bone and joint infections, which currently involves a combination of surgery and antibiotic administration. There is a timely need in orthopedics to develop more effective and less invasive forms of antimicrobial prophylaxis and treatment. The antibacterial effect of adult tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has recently been investigated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
