Objective: Despite excellent functional outcomes after shoulder stabilization surgery, a substantial number of patients fail to return to sports (RTS) at the preinjury level. The psychological factors affecting RTS postsurgery have been underexplored. This scoping review aimed to identify and analyze potential psychological factors influencing the decision to RTS after shoulder stabilization surgery.

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from participants in the Zurich HIV Primary Infection Cohort (ZPHI, N=73) and ACTG study A5345 (N=44) were analyzed before ART interruption. We measured cell-associated HIV RNA, total HIV DNA, and proviral diversity (env gene).
The Galectin-Related Protein (GRP), encoded by the LGALSL gene, assigned to the protein family of β-galactoside-binding Galectins, has lost carbohydrate-binding abilities. Its chicken homolog (C-GRP) occurs in the bursa of Fabricius' epithelial and B cells. Our study investigates the unknown regulatory mechanisms controlling its expression by analyzing the promoter region of the chicken (C-)LGALSL gene in chicken cells.

- Hydroxyurea (HU) is the primary treatment for essential thrombocythemia (ET), but there are no clear guidelines for when to switch therapies.
- In a study of 1080 patients, 67% achieved a complete hematological response (CHR) after five years, with high-risk patients showing lower risks of arterial thrombosis if they achieved CHR.
- Patients with HU resistance or intolerance had a higher chance of developing myelofibrosis, but this did not significantly impact overall survival or thrombotic risk; CHR is linked to improved outcomes and may guide future treatment decisions.

September 2024
Background: The approach to revision rhinoplasty is a challenge that plastic surgeons often face. The objective of this communication is to describe a surgical algorithm for patients undergoing revision rhinoplasty based on the stability of the nasal dorsum.
Methods: The study included 18 patients, six men and 12 women, aged 19-54 years, who had previously undergone rhinoplasty and who visited our clinic to request a new procedure due to unsatisfactory results in those procedures.
