MISTRG is an immunodeficient mouse strain that expresses multiple human cytokines that support hematopoietic stem cell maintenance and myelopoiesis. While establishing a breeding colony of MISTRG mice in a dedicated barrier room, 6 cases of death or disease occurred in pregnant or postpartum mice. Clinically, this manifested as hunched posture, dyspnea, and 1 case of emaciation with ataxia.

- Risk-based decision making (RBDM) is increasingly recognized across various fields but lacks a universal definition, leading to confusion about its meaning and application.
- A study reviews literature from the last 50 years to identify key themes and criteria that characterize RBDM in agriculture, environment, and medicine, proposing a foundational definition along with additional thematic concepts.
- The findings aim to assist practitioners in implementing RBDM principles and support researchers in advancing the approach, with an immediate focus on developing a risk-based food safety system for low- and middle-income countries.
Background: Treatment choices for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in the absence of full-thickness rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are not clearly defined in current literature. This study investigated the prevalence and effect of preoperative partial-thickness RCTs and muscular degenerative changes on postoperative outcomes after TSA.
Methods: Medical records and magnetic resonance imaging studies were reviewed for patients who underwent TSA for primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis with minimum 2-year follow-up to determine preoperative tear classification, Goutallier grade, and supraspinatus tangent sign.
