Article Synopsis
- Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) often arises after tibial pilon fractures, leading surgeons to prioritize precise articular reduction, which can extend surgery time.
- A cadaveric study explored how the stiffness of custom dynamic orthoses (CDOs) affects ankle joint reaction force (JRF) and contact stress during the stance phase of walking.
- Results showed that using CDOs reduced JRF by up to 32%, indicating that post-operative bracing could lower the risk of developing PTOA after such fractures.

- Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito-borne virus, led to a global outbreak in 2016-2017 and continues to circulate at lower levels in some regions as there is no approved vaccine.
- Researchers investigated a modified monoclonal antibody (mAb) known as ZIKV-117-LALA-YTE, which has been engineered to improve its effectiveness and longevity in the body.
- In tests on rhesus macaques, this antibody showed complete protection against ZIKV at a very low dose, highlighting its potential as a new treatment option for the virus.
Article Synopsis
- * A thorough literature search was conducted, analyzing 29 studies involving 767 patients, focusing on various gastrointestinal problems associated with SLE and their treatments.
- * The findings indicate that while treatments like intravenous methylprednisolone and oral prednisolone may benefit patients, the overall quality of evidence is low, emphasizing the necessity for better-defined disease standards and more robust clinical trials.
