Massive rotator cuff tears are a challenge for patients and surgeons. We explored the outcomes of patients with massive rotator cuff tears primarily treated with primary cuff repair augmented with a subacromial balloon spacer. The mean age of the patients was 64.

- The research investigates how power distance belief (PDB), which refers to people's acceptance of social hierarchies, influences the consumption of organic food.
- Findings indicate that consumers with low PDB are more likely to prefer and purchase organic foods due to heightened environmental concerns compared to high PDB consumers.
- The study also identifies strategies to encourage high PDB consumers to buy organic foods, such as framing environmental issues as future societal concerns that lessen power distance, and using low-level construal to increase organic food consumption.
Background: This paper aims to conduct a systematic review of the current literature to evaluate the clinical outcomes of concurrent latissimus dorsi and teres major (LD/TM) tendon transfer in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), and to compare that to isolated RSA.
Methods: A comprehensive search on PubMeb, Web of Science, Embase and CINAHL was performed from inception up to January 20, 2023, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses. Cohort studies, case-control studies, randomized controlled trials and case series that were written in English, which involved patients who underwent RSA with LD/TM transfer were included.
Introduction: Previous studies on rotator cuff tears have examined both clinical and radiographic parameters which may influence post-operative clinical outcomes. While rotator cuff tears are frequently classified by size or depth, there is currently no literature available examining the thickness of the remnant tendon, and its impact on post-operative outcomes. We hypothesize that decreased pre-operative transverse tendon thickness will result in poorer post-operative clinical outcomes.

While early differentiation of adult radial glia-like cells (RGLs) has been studied extensively, the molecular mechanisms guiding the maturation of postmitotic neurons remain unknown. Here, we used a precise birthdating strategy to study aGC differentiation using single-nuclei RNA sequencing.
