Article Synopsis
- The study compares the survival rates and durability between porcine and pericardial prostheses used in tricuspid valve replacement over a period from 1975 to 2022.
- Results show no significant differences in 10-year survival rates, cumulative incidence of structural valve deterioration, or reoperation rates between the two types of valves.
- The findings suggest that both valve types are equally effective, indicating that the choice of valve may be based on other factors rather than survival or durability outcomes.
Recent advances in computational methods have led to considerable progress in the design of self-assembling protein nanoparticles. However, nearly all nanoparticles designed to date exhibit strict point group symmetry, with each subunit occupying an identical, symmetrically related environment. This limits the structural diversity that can be achieved and precludes anisotropic functionalization.

One important differential to rule out immediately is septic arthritis as it is considered an orthopedic emergency. Due to the rarity of septic arthritis in the wrist, there is limited data to guide diagnosis and treatment.
