Is there any clinical advantage of capsular repair over capsular resection for total hip arthroplasty? An updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Although several surgical approaches, with or without capsular repair, can be used during total hip arthroplasty (THA), there is no clear evidence that capsular repair provides a clinical advantage post-surgery, regardless of surgical approach. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated whether capsular repair using various surgical approaches provides a clinical advantage over capsular resection post-THA.

Methods: This study was conducted in accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 checklist for systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Serotonin 5-HT(2A) receptor gene polymorphism, 5-HT(2A) receptor function and personality traits in healthy subjects: a negative study.

Background: Central serotonin-2A (5-HT(2A)) receptor dysfunction is regarded as an important factor in the etiology of affective disorders. The relations between some personality traits and the vulnerability of affective disorders are also implicated. Moreover, there are several reports which describe the association between 5-HT(2A) receptor gene polymorphisms and mental disorders.
