Article Synopsis
- This study examined the incidence and severity of side effects from COVID-19 vaccinations among healthcare workers in Iran from March to June 2021.
- Researchers found that over half (55.85%) of the 42,018 participants reported side effects, with factors like gender, education level, comorbidities, and vaccine type influencing the risk and severity.
- Overall, while side effects were common, especially with certain vaccines, the study concluded that the benefits of vaccination significantly outweigh the risks, particularly for high-risk groups.
Purpose: Studies have suggested some predictors for hamstring tendon (HT) autograft diameter based on anthropometric factors and preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with variable results. Some authors have attributed the variability to gender differences. This prospective cohort reports the sensitivity and specificity of anthropometric and MRI predictors in males and females separately to determine the difference.

A total of 14 parameters of the L2 and L3 vertebra were measured from three-dimensional lumbar topography. The measured parameters included vertebral length, foramen diameter, foramen width, endplate depth, endplate width, spinal process height, spinal process length, transverse process distance, the height of the vertebral body, articular process height inferior, articular process height superior, pedicle height, pedicle width, and maximum distance between articular processes.

Methods: A total of 20 (14 women and 6 men) patients diagnosed with AD with a Mean age of 72.95 years, and 10 (7 women and 3 men) cognitively normal (CN) subjects with a Mean age of 70.
