Introduction In the emergency department (ED), COVID-19 and influenza are two common viral diseases. They cause similar symptoms in the respiratory system, and most patients' symptoms are relatively mild. We have reported previously that COVID-19 and influenza infections cause similar abnormalities in chest X-ray readings in the ED.

OS thrives on insulin growth factor (IGF)-mediated signaling that can facilitate cell proliferation. Previous efforts to target IGF-1R signaling were mostly unsuccessful, likely due to compensatory signaling through alternative splicing of the insulin receptor () to the proliferative isoform.

- - The study aimed to evaluate the wrist stabilizing effects and mechanical properties of four different materials used for wrist splints, including plaster of Paris (PoP), Woodcast, X-lite, and a 3D-printed polypropylene material.
- - Using cadaveric arm specimens, researchers tested how well each splint material resisted wrist flexion and extension under a controlled load, and they also conducted a bending test on samples of each material.
- - Results showed that PoP provided superior wrist stability and stiffness compared to the other materials, suggesting it may be the best option for wrist immobilization despite new alternatives like 3D printing.
Proper alignment and sizing are critical to the performance of a successful total ankle arthroplasty. While it is common practice in preoperative planning prior to total knee and total hip arthroplasty, preoperative computer templating has not been well established in the setting of total ankle arthroplasty. A retrospective review of all total ankle arthroplasties performed during a 10-year period by a single fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon was conducted.

Knowledge of impact of radial head implant diameter on elbow kinematics is limited and warranted. This study evaluated elbow kinematics of different radial head implant diameters after RHA using dynamic radiostereometric analysis (dRSA).
