Field evaluation of COVID-19 rapid antigen test: Are rapid antigen tests less reliable among the elderly?

Background: The global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) leads to the development of accessible and cost-effective rapid antigen-detection tests (RATs), as quick and accurate diagnosis is crucial to curb the pandemic.

Aim: To evaluate the Humasis COVID-19 Ag Test (Humasis Co., Ltd.

What are the ideal screw lengths in volar locking plate fixation for distal radius fractures?

Purpose: This study aimed to specify the optimal lengths of the distal locking screws (in a female population undergoing distal radius fracture fixation with a volar locking plate) to avoid damaging the dorsal extensor tendon compartments while preserving stability.

Methods: Twenty-five female adult patients underwent volar locking plate fixation with four 2.4 mm locking screws inserted distally.

The role of the Hedgehog signaling pathway in cancer: A comprehensive review.

The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway was first identified in the common fruit fly. It is a highly conserved evolutionary pathway of signal transmission from the cell membrane to the nucleus. The Hh signaling pathway plays an important role in the embryonic development.

Monitoring of hands movement trajectories in the field of laparoscopic and endoscopic surgeries and options in the clinical practice.

Within the project "Applied research trajectory hands in laparoscopic and endoscopic operations", ITMS Project code 26240220056, funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the state budget of the Slovak Republic, we created a technical background and algorithms for monitoring and evaluating the hand movements of the surgeon during laparoscopic and endoscopic operations. This is a unique idea and unique project transformed into clinical practice, which is promising to assist in laparoscopic training and inclusion of surgeon / endoscopist to "skilfulness" group on the evaluation of the effectiveness of movements of his hands (Tab. 2, Ref.
