Introduction: Restoration of the anterior knee compartment is increasingly studied with the development of personalized surgery. However, evaluating the patellar tracking during the surgery is still subjective and at the surgeon's discretion. This study aimed 1) to describe the assessment of the patellar tracking during robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA), 2) to describe a new measurement technique for evaluating the evolution of this patellar tracking, and 3) to assess its reliability and repeatability.

- Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an important omega-3 fatty acid for brain development, was studied to see if high-dose supplementation during the neonatal period could enhance behavioral functioning in very preterm children by age 5.
- In a multicenter randomized controlled trial, 177 children were assessed at 5 years, with 132 completing neurodevelopmental evaluations.
- Results showed no significant improvement in behavioral functioning or secondary outcomes for those who received DHA compared to a placebo, indicating that high-dose DHA did not have the expected positive effects.
Article Synopsis
- Functional implant positioning (FIP) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) uses preoperative CT scans and robotic technology to improve ligament balancing across different knee flexion angles.
- A study involving 47 patients showed that FIP successfully achieved balanced knee conditions at 10° and 90° of flexion, but less so at 45°, indicating a need for further investigation into mid-flexion discrepancies.
- Overall, the research highlights FIP's effectiveness in achieving proper knee alignment and suggests potential areas for improvement during the TKA process.
In marine invertebrates, abiotic stresses on adults can act directly on gametes quality, which impacts phenotype and development success of the offspring. Human activities introduce noise pollution in the marine environment but still few studies on invertebrates have considered the impacts on adult or larval stages separately, and to our knowledge, never investigated the cross-generational effects of anthropogenic noise. This article explores parental effects of pile driving noise associated with the building phase of offshore wind turbines on a coastal invertebrate, Pecten maximus (L.

We previously developed a biomaterial constituting biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) microparticles embedded in an autologous blood or plasma clot, which induced bone-like tissue formation in ectopic sites and mature bone formation in orthotopic sites, in small and large animals. More recently, we showed that activated carbon (AC) fiber cloth is a biocompatible material that can be used, due to its multiscale porosity, as therapeutic drug delivery system.
