The reported case describes a traumatic anterior knee dislocation of a previous asymptomatic knee after a posterior cruciate-retaining primary knee arthroplasty. The described patient accidentally rolled over her knee six years after the surgical intervention. Anterior traumatic dislocation after knee arthroplasty is an uncommon event often leading to prosthetic's components revision due to its associated ligament injuries.

The oxidative cross-coupling of benzyl alcohol (BA) and benzylamine (BZA) is employed for the production of the corresponding imine, N-benzylidenebenzylamine (BZI), under visible light irradiation (light-emitting diodes (LE with λ = 417 nm) and mild reaction conditions. The cesium bismuth halide perovskites (CsBiBr, CBB) are synthesized by a one-step solution process as a sustainable alternative for the widely used Pb-halide perovskites. The CBB photocatalyst is immobilized on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) structure designed explicitly for three-dimensional (3D) printing to operate in both batch and continuous modes to overcome the need for a final catalyst separation step.

Article Synopsis
  • Trypanosoma cruzi is the protozoan responsible for Chagas Disease, which lacks effective diagnostic and treatment options, prompting a study of its metabolism and adaptation to different environments.
  • Recent research shows T. cruzi can utilize various carbon sources, including threonine, during growth and starvation, leading to the discovery of a pathway for threonine degradation.
  • The study identified a compound (TCMDC-143160) that inhibits a key enzyme (TcTDH) involved in threonine catabolism, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets for Chagas Disease.

Contrary to the adult central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system has an intrinsic ability to regenerate that relies on the expression of regeneration-associated genes, such as some kinesin family members. Kinesins contribute to nerve regeneration through the transport of specific cargo, such as proteins and membrane components, from the cell body towards the axon periphery. We show here that KIF4A, associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and previously believed to be only expressed during development, is also expressed in the adult vertebrate nervous system and up-regulated in injured peripheral nervous system cells.

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are being increasingly recognized as viable materials for environmental remediation due to their capacity to adsorb contaminants such as glyphosate (GLY) on their surfaces. Nevertheless, the ecotoxicological implications of IONPs associated with GLY necessitate thorough evaluation to ascertain the safety of such remediation strategies. In this context, the present investigation was conducted to examine hepatic biomarkers pertinent to the redox system, as well as ultrastructural hepatic alterations in Poecilia reticulata, following a 21-day exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of IONPs, iron ions (Fe), and glyphosate in its pure form (GLY) as well as a commercial glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH).
