Article Synopsis
- Regular investigations into low back injuries (LBIs) in NCAA sports are essential for understanding their causes and improving prevention and rehabilitation efforts.
- The study analyzed data from the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program over a 10-year period, identifying higher injury rates in women's gymnastics and men's tennis, with significant differences in injury rates between competition and practice events.
- Findings revealed that chronic and recurrent LBIs were more common in women's sports, while overall LBI rates were comparable between men's and women's sports; injuries were generally linked to noncontact and overuse incidents.
Effective repair of large bone defects through bone tissue engineering (BTE) remains an unmet clinical challenge. Successful BTE requires optimal and synergistic interactions among biocompatible scaffolds, osteogenic factors, and osteoprogenitors to form a highly vascularized microenvironment for bone regeneration and osseointegration. We sought to develop a highly effective BTE system by using 3D printed citrate-based mPOC/hydroxyapatite (HA) composites laden with BMP9-stimulated human urine stem cells (USCs).

The COVID-19 pandemic created a high strain on general practitioners (GPs), contributing to increased workload, burnout, and anxiety. The present study aimed to identify self-care practices adopted by GPs amid the COVID-19 pandemic; and to explore the relationships between self-care practices and risk of distress.
