- Vitamin D is key for healthy bones and muscles, and its deficiency can lead to worse outcomes in patients facing total joint arthroplasty (TJA), including increased risk for infections.
- *Recent research assessed vitamin D levels in 249 patients scheduled for revision total joint arthroplasty (rTJA), revealing that 81% of those not taking vitamin D supplements had insufficient levels.
- *Key findings indicate that patients who take vitamin D regularly have higher levels, and factors such as BMI and smoking may contribute to vitamin D deficiency in those not supplementing.

- * Researchers screened a library of 65 ketobenzothiazole-based compounds to find new inhibitors for TMPRSS13, leading to the discovery of promising candidates.
- * One notable inhibitor, N-0430, showed strong effectiveness in blocking TMPRSS13's activity and preventing SARS-CoV-2 entry in cells, providing insights for future drug development.
Article Synopsis
- - Shoulder arthroplasty, particularly reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA), has become increasingly popular in orthopedic surgery due to improvements in prosthesis and surgical techniques, especially for primary osteoarthritis.
- - An analysis of healthcare data from 2012 to 2022 revealed a significant rise in RTSA procedures, jumping from 2,237 in 2012 to 5,415 in 2022—over a two-fold increase, making up 68.6% of all shoulder arthroplasties by 2022.
- - The study highlighted age and sex differences in treatment: RTSA is predominantly used among older women, while younger men are more frequently treated with hemiarthroplasty or
