Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a rare complication that may be initially discovered in the acute inpatient rehabilitation setting, caused by the abnormal formation of bone tissue in non-skeletal areas of the body. It may be caused by trauma or a neurological injury. When treating a patient with a history of neurological disease complicated by an acute event, treatment should be tailored to suit the patient's needs and to avoid further harm.

Article Synopsis
- A search for dark matter candidates in the mass range of 65 to 1021 keV was conducted using data from the GERDA experiment, focusing on energy depositions without detecting any significant signals above background noise.
- The study established stringent exclusion limits on dark photon and axion-like particle interactions with electrons, with specific constraints noted at a 150 keV mass level.
- Additional investigations into the decay rates of nucleons and electrons yielded lower lifetime limits for neutron, proton, and electron decay events at a 90% confidence interval.
The Central Mississippi River Basin (CMRB) Common Experiment, with its marginal soils and southern Corn Belt climate, is an ideal location for evaluating progress toward environmental, productivity, and climatic adaptation goals. Sustainable production with conventional row-crop systems is more challenging than in the upper Corn Belt, making evaluation and adoption of alternative farming practices crucial. This Common Experiment has a hydrologically restrictive layer causing reduced plant available water capacity in the root zone.

- Scientists studied liver samples from patients with chronic liver disease and found many had mutations in a gene called PKD1.
- These mutations seemed to help the liver stay healthy and recover faster after injury, but didn’t seem to help with cancer.
- Overall, losing PKD1 might be good for liver health but does not make the liver more likely to turn into cancer.
We present the measurement of the two-neutrino double-β decay rate of ^{76}Ge performed with the GERDA Phase II experiment. With a subset of the entire GERDA exposure, 11.8 kg yr, the half-life of the process has been determined: T_{1/2}^{2ν}=(2.
