Re-evaluation of silicon dioxide (E 551) as a food additive in foods for infants below 16 weeks of age and follow-up of its re-evaluation as a food additive for uses in foods for all population groups.

The present opinion is the follow-up of the conclusions and recommendations of the Scientific Opinion on the re-evaluation of silicon dioxide (E 551) as a food additive relevant to the safety assessment for all age groups. In addition, the risk assessment of silicon dioxide (E 551) for its use in food for infants below 16 weeks of age is performed. Based on the newly available information on the characterisation of the SAS used as E 551 and following the principles of the 2021 EFSA Guidance on Particle-TR, the conventional safety assessment has been complemented with nano-specific considerations.

Volumetric classification: unveiling the true extent of rotator cuff tears.

Introduction: Rotator cuff injury diagnosis involves comprehensive clinical, physical, and imaging assessments, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) being pivotal for detecting and classifying these injuries. However, the absence of a universally accepted classification system necessitates a more precise approach, advocating for the use of three-dimensional (3D) modeling to better understand and categorize rotator cuff tears.

Methodology: This research was conducted as a prospective, single-institution study on 62 patients exhibiting full-thickness rotator cuff tears.

Surgical treatment of traumatic rupture of the teres major tendon in a professional gymnast: a case report.

Teres major injuries are rare and are generally treated conservatively, except in high-performance athletes. This report describes a case of traumatic rupture of the teres major at its myotendinous junction in a professional gymnast. The patient underwent surgical treatment 10 days after the injury.

RANGE OF MOTION AFTER BONE BLOCK PROCEDURES FOR SHOULDER INSTABILITY: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.

Objective: to determine the surgical indications for glenoid bone grafting associated with better postoperative ranges of motion.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA. The included studies were subdivided according to the criteria used to indicate glenoid bone graft surgery: group for radiological indications only (Group R), group for radiological indications associated with clinical indications (Group R + C), and group for arthroscopic indications (Group A).

Anabolic steroids and the evaluation of patients with acute PM tendon rupture using microscopy and MRI.

This study presented a pioneering investigation of the changes in the magnetic resonance imaging images of pectoralis major muscle (PMM) tendon rupture. In all, 26 men were evaluated with acute total PMM rupture (<3 months since injury) with a mean age of 37.3 years (SD = 9.
