[Rigid sole shoe versus inverted sole shoe in hallux valgus surgery: clinical, functional and radiological analysis].

Introduction: the orthopedic shoe is usually prescribed during postoperative care after hallux valgus surgery to protect the osteotomy and provide functional comfort to the patient. In this regard, the superiority of rigid sole shoe (RSS) compared to the reverse camber shoe (RCS) remains controversial. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical, functional and radiological outcomes from using the rigid sole shoe (RSS) vs.

Combined femoral and tibial component total knee arthroplasty device rotation measurement is reliable and predicts clinical outcome.

Background: The optimal total knee arthroplasty (TKA) rotational alignment and how best to obtain and measure it are debatable. The aim was to analyse the reliability of the Berger femoral, three different tibial and four different combined two-dimensional computer tomography (2D-CT) TKA component rotation measurements, and to ascertain which rotational values best predict a successful clinical outcome.

Methods: The 2D-CT scans were obtained post-operatively on 60 patients who had TKA.

On the holobiont 'predictome' of immunocompetence in pigs.

Background: Gut microbial composition plays an important role in numerous traits, including immune response. Integration of host genomic information with microbiome data is a natural step in the prediction of complex traits, although methods to optimize this are still largely unexplored. In this paper, we assess the impact of different modelling strategies on the predictive capacity for six porcine immunocompetence traits when both genotype and microbiota data are available.

[Lisfranc lesions: clinical-functional repercussion].

Objective: Clinical and functional evaluation of patients with Lisfranc lesion without work or sport cause and treated in our center.

Material And Methods: Thirteen patients with Lisfranc lesion without occupational or sports causes were divided into two groups, high-energy and low-energy injuries. Were analyzed the return to work and sports activity prior to the injury and the use of footwear and insoles after the injury.

PRGdb 4.0: an updated database dedicated to genes involved in plant disease resistance process.

The Plant Resistance Genes database (PRGdb; http://prgdb.org/prgdb4/) has been greatly expanded, keeping pace with the increasing amount of available knowledge and data (sequenced proteomes, cloned genes, public analysis data, etc.).
