- * This study examined how recombinant insulin-like growth factor 1 (rIGF-1) combined with fibrin microbeads (FibIGF1) could enhance cartilage regeneration by promoting better cellular responses.
- * Results showed that FibIGF1 led to improved quality and integration of cartilage repair in goat knee models, suggesting its potential as an effective clinical option for treating cartilage injuries.
Aim: Anastomosis leakage is one of the most common complications after colorectal surgery. Studies have shown that the incidence of anastomotic leakage is between 0.5-30%.

- The study investigates the rate of positive findings from finger X-rays in pediatric patients with suspected fractures at a trauma center.
- Out of 478 reviewed finger injuries, 33.5% showed fractures, primarily affecting adolescents aged 11-16, with only 3.8% requiring surgical treatment.
- The authors suggest re-evaluating the need for X-rays and developing clinical decision rules to reduce radiation exposure, waiting times, and costs.
Time delay during the proton tunneling in the base pairs of the DNA double helix.
Prog Biophys Mol Biol
December 2021
DNA undergoes spontaneous point mutations, which are believed to be central to the evolution of the organisms and which are thought to occur by tautomerization of the canonical Guanine-Cytosine (G-C) base pair into non-canonical G∗-C∗ base pair via the double proton tunneling. In the present work, we close a gap in the literature by computing the time delay during the proton tunneling. Our results, based on the well-known dwell time and our model of the entropic time, range from femtoseconds to picoseconds, and completely agree with the time scales of the structural changes in molecules (mutation processes not the complete replication processes).

- Displaced proximal humeral fractures in older children, who have low potential for bone remodeling, require stabilization, which can be done using various techniques, including the modified single retrograde nail technique, as this study explores.
- A retrospective study was conducted on 21 children, using a prebent retrograde nail for fracture management, with data on demographics, surgical time, and outcomes collected over a follow-up period.
- Results showed that the single intramedullary nail technique had an average surgical time of 49 minutes, achieved satisfactory fracture reductions without complications, and included a follow-up assessment of shoulder range of motion and quality of life via QuickDASH.
