Background: Augmented baseplates can be effective at addressing eccentric glenoid wear in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. However, these implants often come in a limited number of predetermined shapes that require additional reaming to ensure adequate glenoid seating. This typically involves complex instrumentation and can have a negative impact on implant stability.

- Particle-induced osteolysis from polyethylene wear is a major issue causing implant failure in shoulder surgeries, prompting the development of vitamin E-enhanced highly cross-linked polyethylene (VEXPE) to improve wear resistance compared to traditional materials.!* -
- The study assessed the wear properties of VEXPE against conventional ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) under various testing conditions, recording mass loss and determining wear rates, demonstrating superior performance of VEXPE.!* -
- Results showed that VEXPE glenoid had significantly lower wear rates than both highly cross-linked polyethylene and UHMWPE glenoids, suggesting it may reduce the risk of osteolysis and improve the longevity of shoulder implants.!*
Background: To determine rates of compliance (i.e., supervised intervention attendance) and adherence (i.

This study investigated the association between clusters of obesogenic behavior - derived from a data-driven process - and social isolation among Brazilian adolescents.
Methods: Data from the National Adolescent School-based Health Survey (PeNSE) 2015 were analyzed.
Background: Whole-of-school programs have demonstrated success in improving student physical activity levels, but few have progressed beyond efficacy testing to implementation at-scale. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the scale-up of the 'Internet-based Professional Learning to help teachers promote Activity in Youth' (iPLAY) intervention in primary schools using the RE-AIM framework.
Methods: We conducted a type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness study and collected data between April 2016 and June 2021, in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
