Background: Proximal femoral varus osteotomy (PFVO) is commonly performed to improve femoral head containment and decrease deformity in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD). Little is known about how PFVO impacts the quality of life after surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the longitudinal changes to patient-reported physical, mental, and social health measures after PFVO.

January 2025
Objective: To understand the influence of acute alcohol consumption on the recall and recognition of warning messages.
Method: Participants ( = 82) were randomly assigned to a condition where they consumed alcoholic beverages (target blood alcohol concentrations of 0.06%-0.
Objectives: To investigate clinical characteristics, symptom profile, testing practices, treatment patterns and quality of life (QoL) among patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in Latin America.
Design: Data from the Adelphi Real World PAH Disease Specific Programme, a cross-sectional survey with retrospective data collection.
Setting: University/teaching hospital, regional centres, private practices and government institutions in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.
Digital twins represent a key technology for precision health. Medical digital twins consist of computational models that represent the health state of individual patients over time, enabling optimal therapeutics and forecasting patient prognosis. Many health conditions involve the immune system, so it is crucial to include its key features when designing medical digital twins.

- The coupling between electronic excitations and vibrational modes in organic semiconductors impacts their optical and charge transport properties.
- Highly ordered crystalline films, like those made from perfluoropentacene (PFP), allow for detailed analysis through techniques like polarization-resolved time-domain vibrational spectroscopy.
- The study reveals that while a high-frequency in-plane deformation mode is polarization-insensitive, a lower-frequency out-of-plane ring bending mode's coupling is significantly influenced by molecular orientation, highlighting the effects of solid-state interactions in these materials.
