Purpose: Arthroplasty of the basal, or carpometacarpal, joint of the thumb has been shown to decrease pain, improve strength, improve range of motion, and allow return to work.

Methods: A survey assessing participation in sports and recreational activities, timing of return to play after surgery, enjoyment, and the presence of pain and limitations was mailed to patients who had undergone an arthroplasty of the basal joint of the thumb over a 3-year period.

To enhance the take-over performance by human drivers of Level-2 automated vehicles (AV), we developed a design concept that presents the AV's planned trajectory as augmented reality in the windshield. We hypothesized that, even when the AV does not release a take-over request before a potential crash (i.e.

Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19 transmission has worsened due to concerning variants (VoC) containing mutations in the spike protein, affecting therapeutic response.
  • Researchers isolated and optimized 16-residue peptides that bind to the spike protein, enhancing the effectiveness of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) by over 100-fold.
  • This approach allows for a significant increase in the neutralization potency of nAbs, including against resistant variants like Omicron, suggesting a promising modular strategy for better COVID-19 therapeutics.

There is increasing concern within the veterinary medical community (veterinarians and veterinary students) that disgruntled clients are unfairly leveraging various legal tools against veterinarians. Clinical veterinarians and veterinary students should be aware of the most common types of problems arising within the clinic and how they can lead to formal consumer complaints. The study describes and categorizes with greater detail the types of violations or "causes for discipline" that occur, as well as specific sanctions imposed on veterinarians formally disciplined for standard of care-related violations between 2017 and 2019, for California.
