[Translated article] Does plate fixation improve the Latarjet procedure for anterior glenohumeral instability?
Rev Esp Cir Ortop Traumatol
February 2025
The Latarjet technique is a procedure used to treat anterior glenohumeral instability with glenoid bone loss. Various fixation systems for the coracoid have been described in the literature. This study aims to compare the results in quality of life and complications between patients treated with plate and screws (GP) for coracoid fixation and those treated with screws (GSP) only.

The spread of resistant pathogens, facilitated by genetic variability and horizontal gene transfer, primarily through plasmids, poses significant challenges to health systems.
Objective: This review explores the potential of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technology and Cas9 nucleases in combating antimicrobial resistance.
Combined exercise hinders the progression of pulmonary and right heart harmful remodeling in monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension.
J Appl Physiol (1985)

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated whether combined moderate-intensity exercise could slow down harmful changes in the lungs and right heart in rats with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) induced by monocrotaline (MCT).
- Rats underwent a 3-week exercise program including aerobic and resistance training, which improved their physical endurance and prevented negative changes in pulmonary artery resistance and right ventricular function.
- The exercise also helped maintain heart cell function, reduced structural damage to the right ventricle and lungs, and lowered oxidative stress levels associated with PAH.

- * A unique megaplasmid, called pESM, associated with multidrug resistance and virulence has been identified, carrying genes that provide resistance to important antibiotics and enhance tolerance to environmental stressors like mercury.
- * The study reveals that pESM likely contributes to the emergence and spread of Minnesota, which poses significant risks for human and animal infections due to its high virulence and antibiotic resistance.
