Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are frequent injuries, especially in athletes. Return to sports after reconstruction of the ligament is a frequently debated topic and of high relevance for these patients. It is mostly achieved at 9-12 months post-surgery.

: Humanitarian aid workers (HAWs) are indirectly exposed to atrocities relating to people of concern (POC). This may result in a risk of secondary traumatization demonstrated by post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSSs). Previous studies have demonstrated that hemispheric lateralization (HL) moderates the relationship between threat exposure and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSSs).

Emergency Medicine physicians experience a significant number of interruptions throughout their work day. One common cause of interruptions is the immediate interpretation of triage electrocardiograms (ECGs). Recent studies have suggested that ECGs interpreted as normal via automated analysis by the ECG machine rarely require urgent cardiac intervention and suggested that providers may not have to be interrupted to interpret these "normal" ECGs.

The targeted or universal decolonization of patients through octenidine for nasal treatment and antiseptic body wash for 3 to 5 days prior elective surgery has been implemented in several surgical disciplines in order to significantly reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) caused by carriage. However, as most healthcare facilities also screen patients on admission for pilot infection, it is imperative that a prophylactic nasal decolonization procedure not yield a false negative SARS-CoV-2 status in otherwise positive patients. We assessed the effect of a commercially available octenidine-containing nasal gel on two different screening methods-antigen (Ag) detection based on colloidal gold immunochromatography and RT-PCR-in a prospective-type accuracy pilot study in asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2-positive inpatients.

Article Synopsis
  • Skeletal muscle regeneration relies on migratory muscle stem cells (muSCs) that must respond appropriately to injury to generate muscle progenitor cells.* -
  • The study utilized zebrafish to investigate how muSC migration, behavior, and fate are influenced by cell adhesion and environmental forces.* -
  • Findings indicate that the RhoA kinase ROCK regulates muSC migration and differentiation, with impaired ROCK activity leading to altered cell behavior and muscle regeneration.*
