Objectives: To identify the incidence, patient characteristics, and effectiveness of radiographic screening methods for detecting ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures in pediatric and adolescent trauma patients.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: This study was conducted at a tertiary pediatric trauma hospital.
Bone formation is tightly modulated by genetically encoded molecular proteins that interact to regulate cellular differentiation and secretion of bony matrix. Many transcription factors are known to coordinate these events by controlling gene transcription within networks. However, not all factors involved are known.

Current work in photosynthetic engineering is progressing along the lines of cyanobacterial, microalgal, and plant research. These are interconnected through the fundamental mechanisms of photosynthesis and advances in one field can often be leveraged to improve another. It is worthwhile for researchers specializing in one or more of these systems to be aware of the work being done across the entire research space as parallel advances of techniques and experimental approaches can often be applied across the field of photosynthesis research.

Long-tailed bats arrived in New Zealand an estimated two million years ago and are closely related to other Australian bat species. Lesser short-tailed bats, in contrast, are the only extant species within the Mystacinidae and are estimated to have been living in isolation in New Zealand for the past 16-18 million years.
