The objective of the study was to examine the mechanical and electrostatic properties of poly(vinyl chloride) intended for use in protective footwear. The poly(vinyl chloride) material was made with graphite (flake side dimensions 5 and 10 µm) additive in weight concentration variants from 0.5 to 10.

- The study focuses on patients with rib fractures, a common injury in trauma admissions, and aims to use mobile platforms to monitor their postdischarge pain and mental health through patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
- Among the 72 patients studied, over half experienced moderate to severe pain two weeks after discharge, with higher initial pain levels linked to worse outcomes.
- Results indicate that while early pain is associated with increased mental health symptoms, patients showed notable improvement in both pain and mental health over the following weeks, underscoring the value of using technology for patient care.
Introduction: Perianal fistulising Crohn's disease (pfCD) is a distinct and debilitating phenotype seen in around one-third of patients with CD. Clinical trials in pfCD are increasingly using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) criteria as a primary endpoint, but there is heterogeneity in the radiological definition of a healed perianal fistula that currently limits our ability to perform meaningful meta-analyses of studies. Our aim is to standardise outcomes through the generation of an international consensus definition of a radiologically healed fistula.

A scoping review was selected to identify the volume and types of evidence available, pinpoint knowledge gaps, and clarify key concepts. Twenty-one articles were included for review, all of which were published within the last 20 years and identified components of the built environment for intervention.

The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of published literature to evaluate indications, methods, and complications for vascularized fascia lata free flap reconstruction.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed using a set of search criteria to identify patients who underwent free flap reconstruction of the head and neck region using vascularized fascia lata.
