Accuracy of a New Augmented Reality Assisted Technique for Total Knee Arthroplasty: An In Vivo Study.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains the standard of care for treating end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. Approximately 15%-20% of the patients are dissatisfied following surgery. To improve accuracy and outcomes of TKA, various assistive technologies have been introduced.

A single-centre RetrospeCtive sTudy Investigating patient-reported outcomeS of extended dressing wear time for incisional healing following orthopaedic surgery: the ARCTIS study.

Objective: Orthopaedic surgery is an effective intervention for treating the symptoms of degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis (OA). Frequent wound dressing changes, unless clinically indicated, can disrupt the healing process and increase the occurrence of incision site contamination. Protection from contamination is critical for surgical incisions and, therefore, undisturbed wound healing (UWH) in surgical wound management is vital.

Substances of health concern in home-distilled and commercial alcohols from Texas.

Objective: Poor distillation practices in the production of spirits have historically resulted in many instances of adverse health outcomes including death. Concern has focused on lead and copper contamination as well as unhealthy levels of methanol and glyphosate. This study assesses home-distilled and commercially distilled alcohols from Texas for these substances of concern, highlighting their potential risks to public health.

The expression profile and tumorigenic mechanisms of CD97 (ADGRE5) in glioblastoma render it a targetable vulnerability.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain malignancy. Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs) have attracted interest for their potential as treatment targets. Here, we show that CD97 (ADGRE5) is the most promising aGPCR target in GBM, by virtue of its de novo expression compared to healthy brain tissue.

Normal pediatric values of carotid artery intima-media thickness measured by B-mode ultrasound and radiofrequency echo tracking respecting the consensus: a systematic review.

Background: Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a sub-clinical radiologic marker of atherosclerosis in children. It is associated with adult-onset vascular disease.

Objective: To determine normal pediatric values of IMT from results observed in the literature.
