Purpose: The use of a person's hands is crucial to their ability to succeed at work. Hand pathologies can impact work success by increasing absenteeism (ie, not being able to go to work) and presenteeism (ie, being able to work but in a reduced capacity). In this study, we quantified employed patients' presenteeism and absenteeism following carpal tunnel release or surgical fixation of a distal radius fracture (DRF).

Background: Flag leaf (FL) and panicle architecture (PA) are critical for increasing rice grain yield as well as production. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) can better understand the genetic pathways behind complex traits like FL and PA.

Results: In this study, 208 diverse rice germplasms were grown in the field at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center at Beaumont, TX, during 2022 and 2023 following Augmented Randomized Complete Block Design.

The uniqueness of the Canadian spent nuclear fuel disposal container design requires a detailed understanding of the copper corrosion processes that could occur in deep geological repositories. This review aimed to identify knowledge gaps surrounding impacts of changing conditions and the evolution of corrosion processes as conditions change from moist/cool, through warm/dry, to cool/fully saturated. This review indicates that early, unsaturated corrosion, and compounding influences of previous corrosion are understudied.

Treatment of symptomatic thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint synovitis can be challenging. Surgical options in these patients are often limited due to the patient's youth and lack of arthrosis. One of the most commonly used techniques involves the use of the flexor carpi radialis to reconstruct the ligamentous complex of the thumb CMC joint.
