Introduction: There has been an emergence of evidence in the area of frozen shoulder (FS) within the past decade related to risk factors, etiology, diagnosis, and management. It has become increasingly challenging for clinicians and researchers to stay up to date in these areas, particularly with the clinical practice guidelines that are available being few and outdated. To this end, the aim of this study was to produce an international consensus on the risk factors, etiology, diagnosis and management for individuals with FS.

In concert with other glycosylases, this enzyme is an important player in cleansing both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of a wide variety of damaged DNA bases. The relative efficiency of NEIL1 to catalyze release of ring-opened formamido-pyrimidines (Fapy) and alkylated-Fapy adducts, multiple ring-saturated pyrimidines, secondary oxidation products of 8-oxoguanine, and psoralen-derived crosslinks is augmented by pre-mRNA editing at codon 242, resulting in cells containing both NEIL1-Lys242 and edited Arg242.

Secondary thrombotic microangiopathy can result from malignancies, autoimmune diseases, or treatments such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Dasatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in managing chronic myeloid leukemia, has been linked to thrombotic microangiopathy.
