Background: Anatomical reduction of posterior malleolar fracture is a key goal in achieving good functional outcomes in patients with ankle fractures. Although there are many approaches for managing this type of fracture, no studies have shown reduction quality of posterior malleolar fracture in postoperative CT scan using the modified posteromedial ankle approach.
Methods: A retrospective case series of 66 patients of 2 health centers with type 2, 3, and 4 posterior malleolar fractures according to Bartonicek classification treated using the modified posteromedial ankle approach was performed.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic infections can lead to CD8 T cell exhaustion, which diminishes their ability to fight infections, but the role of metabolites in this process is not fully understood.
- Researchers used a virus model in mice to analyze metabolite changes during acute and chronic infections, finding notable differences in nutrients, especially during the early phase of chronic infection.
- The study highlights the importance of long-chain fatty acids in affecting T cell function and metabolism, providing insights into potential strategies for improving immune responses during prolonged infections.
Background: Blackcurrant ( L.) is a berry rich in anthocyanins, bioactive compounds known for their antioxidant and neuroprotective properties that benefit human health.
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effects of blackcurrant and its association with Donepezil on memory impairment, cholinergic neurotransmission, and antioxidant systems in a mouse model of amnesia induced by chronic administration of Scopolamine.
