Article Synopsis
- Metatarsal stress fractures (MSF), especially in the 2nd and 3rd metatarsal, are frequent injuries in athletes, but there's no targeted prevention program due to insufficient research on the causes.
- This study utilized Finite Element Modelling (FEM) to analyze risky foot and ankle positions during push-off that could lead to MSF, simulating various configurations under different load conditions.
- Findings revealed that certain postures, like 30° ankle eversion during push-off, significantly increase the risk of 2 and 3 MSF, providing crucial information for injury prevention among athletes prone to these fractures.
Article Synopsis
- - Children with intellectual disabilities (ID) in Lorestan, Iran, struggle with oral hygiene, leading to higher rates of oral cavity parasites, highlighting the need for better oral health interventions.
- - A study compared 215 children with ID to 215 healthy children, revealing that 40.5% of ID children had parasites, significantly more than the 18.1% in non-ID children, with specific relationships found between urban living and parental education as risk factors.
- - The research underscores the importance of addressing oral hygiene practices, especially tooth brushing, to mitigate the prevalence of these parasites among children with ID.
MicroRNAs are small regulatory RNAs that decrease gene expression after transcription in various biological disciplines. In bioinformatics, identifying microRNAs and predicting their functionalities is critical. Finding motifs is one of the most well-known and important methods for identifying the functionalities of microRNAs.

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the most common surgical approach for CRS which also improves asthma symptoms, but little is known about its effects on COPD. This study investigates the effects of FESS on COPD and asthma symptoms in CRS patients referred to a university hospital in northern Iran.

In this study, a construct containing an injectable continuous stratified scaffold and multiple cell systems was designed for enhancing osteochondral regeneration. Briefly, an injectable sodium alginate(SA)/bioglass (BG) composite hydrogel containing bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) (SA/BG + BMSCs) was used for subchondral bone regeneration and an injectable thermosensitive SA/agarose (AG) composite hydrogel with co-culture of BMSCs and articular chondrocytes (ACs) (SA/AG + ACs/BMSCs) was applied for articular cartilage regeneration.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOsteoarthritis sufferers commonly have first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) problems in which articular surfaces are changed permanently due to fatigue. Therefore, medical devices for early diagnosis would increase the opportunity for prevention of disease progression. In previous studies on stiffness of the first MTPJ many details, although functionally of great importance, have not been fully considered including: design and size of the device, tribology consideration, and errors from device.
