Idiopathic Transient Osteoporosis of the Hip: A Frequently Overlooked and Misdiagnosed Cause of Hip Pain.

Idiopathic transient osteoporosis of the hip (ITOH) is a rare and self-limiting condition of unknown origin, typically responding well to conservative treatment. It is characterized by progressive pain, claudication, and osteoporosis of the femoral head, while the joint line remains preserved. Early clinical and radiological findings can be misinterpreted as aseptic necrosis, infection, or neoplastic processes, making careful exclusion of these conditions essential.

Marine plastic pollution: A systematic review of management strategies through a macroscope approach.

Alternatives to address the ocean plastic crisis have been a hot topic in scientific literature, although a systemic approach to assess their effectiveness and identify bottlenecks is still lacking. To contribute to discussions on this topic, this study aims to conduct a literature review on current scientific information regarding management strategies for marine plastic pollution. The PRISMA method was used to select the most relevant articles from the Scopus® database, resulting in a sample of 176 articles after applying exclusion criteria for full-text evaluation.

Assessing the food recovery hierarchy concept from an eMergy accounting perspective: Validation and theoretical insights.

The food recovery hierarchy (FRH) is an important concept widely used worldwide as a guideline for food waste management policies. It consists of different options for food waste management hierarchically organized, in which source reduction is the most preferable option, followed by food donation, feeding animals, industrial use, composting, energy recovery, and landfilling. The most common approaches used in the literature to validate the FRH concept consider both, a user-side and donor-side perspectives.

Gait Analysis of Amputee Dogs Using a Pressure-Sensitive Walkway.

Objective:  The aim of this study was to perform gait analysis using a pressure-sensitive walkway in dogs submitted to high (total) or low amputation (partial) of one forelimb or hindlimb.

Study Design:  A total of 39 dogs met the inclusion criteria. The reasons for the amputations were motor vehicle accidents in 38 dogs and possible limb malformation in 1 dog.

High-frequency sectoral carbon and environmental analysis based on monthly input-output tables compilation during 2018-2021.

This paper proposes a process for updating monthly input-output tables with monthly macroeconomic statistics and published input-output tables. Reasonable assumptions are set up and 48 monthly input-output tables are prepared from 2018 to 2021 with the combination of the row range series method and nonlinear mathematical planning. The Weaver-Thomas composite index is used to analyze the role of the sector in the economic network, and the sectoral correlation indicators are used to analyze the correlation change of the sector's monthly electricity emissions to show an environmental application effect of the monthly input-output table.
