Factors Influencing Outcome After Shoulder Arthroplasty (FINOSA Study): Protocol of a Prospective Longitudinal Study With Randomized Group Allocation.

Background: There is an increasing need for evidence-based postoperative rehabilitation strategies to optimize patient outcome. Knowledge of potential prognostic factors could steer the development of rehabilitation protocols and could result in better treatment outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate which potential prognostic factors predict baseline shoulder pain and function and its evolution in the first 2 years following surgery, in patients with total shoulder arthroplasty.

Effects of pre-operative patient expectations on the outcome after total shoulder arthroplasty: A systematic review.

Aim: To synthesize the evidence considering effects of pre-operative patient expectations on the post-operative outcomes in patients with total shoulder arthroplasty.

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane were searched for relevant studies. Studies before 2000 were excluded.

RNA polymerase III is involved in regulating virulence.

While often undetected and untreated, persistent seasonal asymptomatic malaria infections remain a global public health problem. Despite the presence of parasites in the peripheral blood, no symptoms develop. Disease severity is correlated with the levels of infected red blood cells (iRBCs) adhering within blood vessels.

Ultrasound-guided fetal thorax compression to reduce post-fixation twins in the mare.

Background: Management of twin pregnancy after conceptus vesicle fixation in the horse is challenging because the reduction techniques described are either invasive, difficult to perform or associated with disappointing success rates.

Objectives: To evaluate the success of transrectal ultrasound-guided fetal thorax compression for reducing post-fixation twin pregnancy in mares.

Study Design: Retrospective clinical study.

Effective application of immobilized second generation industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain on consolidated bioprocessing.

Integrated bioprocessing strategies can facilitate ethanol production from both cellulose and hemicellulose fractions of lignocellulosic biomass. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) is an approach that combines enzyme production, biomass hydrolysis and sugar fermentation in a single step. However, technologies that propose the use of microorganisms together with solid biomass present the difficulty of the recovery and reuse of the biocatalyst, which can be overcome by cell immobilization.
