Background: To the best of our knowledge, studies on the relationship between spectral energy distribution and the degree of perceived voices are still sparse. Through an auditory-perceptual test we aimed to explore the spectral features that may relate with the auditory-perception of voices.
Methods: Ten judges who were blind to the test's tasks and stimuli rated the amount of twang perceived on seventy-six audio samples.
Objective: To determine the effect of zoledronic acid (ZA) on the risk of total knee replacement (TKR) in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and without severe joint space narrowing (JSN).
Methods: We included 222 participants (mean age 62 years, 52% female) from the two-year Zoledronic Acid for Osteoarthritis Knee Pain trial (113 received 5 mg of ZA annually and 109 received placebo) conducted between November 2013 and October 2017. Primary TKR were identified until February 22, 2022.
Background: Polished baseplates were introduced into total knee arthroplasty (TKA) systems to reduce the incidence of backside wear. In 2004, a fixed-bearing knee arthroplasty system underwent a change in baseplate material from matt titanium to polished cobalt-chrome (CoCr) with the intention to reduce backside wear. Other design aspects were left unchanged.

- The study evaluated the effectiveness of clinical tests for diagnosing greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) by analyzing data from various medical databases and including six studies with 15 diagnostic tests and 272 participants.
- The overall quality of the evidence ranged from very low to moderate, indicating that while some tests are useful, results should be taken with caution.
- A specific test sequence was identified: a negative gluteal tendon palpation followed by a negative resisted hip abduction test significantly lowered the probability of GTPS, while a positive palpation followed by a positive abduction test raised the probability, aiding in diagnosis for patients with lateral hip pain.
