Article Synopsis
- The human microbiome consists of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi that impact health, with imbalances (dysbiosis) linked to diseases such as asthma and obesity.
- Current research is exploring how the gut microbiome specifically affects joint health and diseases like osteoarthritis through inflammatory responses triggered by dysbiosis.
- The review aims to enhance our understanding of the microbiome's role in disease and emphasizes the need for further studies on the joint microbiome's impact on conditions like periprosthetic joint infection.
Pattern-focused environmental equity research has been underpinned by high-resolution remotely sensed data to uncover spatial relationships between environmental amenities (e.g., urban tree cover) and socio-economic status (SES).

The microstructure and rheology of the mixed gels depended on the ratio of hydrated cellulose beads to proteins (9:1, 8:2, 7:3, and 1:1). Two gel stabilization mechanisms were identified.

- Artri King was an over-the-counter supplement aimed at treating joint pain, but the FDA warned it contained hidden ingredients like dexamethasone, which can pose health risks like adrenal insufficiency.
- A study was conducted on patients who used the supplement and found significant health issues, including low cortisol levels and one case of new diabetes, prompting referrals to endocrinology.
- The findings highlight the potential severe effects of such supplements, leading to recommendations for regular screening and careful monitoring of patients who use them.
Background: Medial meniscal pathology and management have not been associated with postoperative anterior tibial translation (ATT) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of medial meniscal injury and treatment on pre- and postoperative ATT in the setting of primary ACLR. More specifically, the association between repairable medial meniscal tears, medial meniscectomy, and postoperative ATT, along with rates of revision surgery, was examined.
