The complex, varied composition (i.e., rubbers/elastomers, carbon black, fillers, additives, and embedded road materials) and wide density range of tire road wear particles (TRWPs) present challenges for their isolation and identification from environmental matrices.

The outcome of a scoping review in this area will inform the development of a clinical intervention for dietary counseling at the chairside.
Introduction: Diabetics are at a higher risk for developing periodontal disease, and the severity of periodontal disease can impact the ability to control glucose levels.
Article Synopsis
- Lower limb apophyseal injuries are common in children and adolescents, potentially impacting their quality of life and leading to reduced sports participation during important developmental years.
- The research developed self-administered screening tools for two prevalent conditions: Sever's disease (calcaneal apophysitis) and Osgood-Schlatter's disease (tibial tuberosity apophysitis), using expert consensus and literature support.
- The tools demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy, with potential to assist clinicians in preclinical screening and facilitate larger epidemiological studies to better understand the prevalence of these injuries.
Study Question: Can a functional in vitro model, containing the main cellular components of the uterine wall, be generated from cells derived from patient tissues?
Summary Answer: We present a three-dimensional (3D) physiologically relevant, organ-on-a-chip model of the uterine wall containing primary endometrial and myometrial cellular participants, generated from human uterine tissue.
What Is Known Already: As a highly dynamic reproductive organ, the human uterus plays fundamental physiological roles in menstruation and childbirth. The endometrial-myometrial junction (EMJ) defines the interface between the inner mucosal layer (endometrium) and outer smooth muscle zone (myometrium) that comprises the uterine wall.
Introduction: Midfoot osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful and disabling condition. Arch contouring foot orthoses have been recommended for midfoot OA, yet there is no high-quality evidence from randomised controlled trials to support their use. This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of arch contouring foot orthoses for midfoot OA.
