Hip Resection Arthroplasty as Definitive Treatment: Indications, Outcomes, and Complications in Paraplegic and Non-Paraplegic Patients.

Background: Hip resection arthroplasty (HRA) serves as a salvage treatment option for various conditions affecting paraplegic patients. In nonparaplegic individuals, it is often utilized to manage complex infections. There exists a paucity of studies comparing outcomes between paraplegic and nonparaplegic patients undergoing HRA as definitive treatment.

Efficacy and Safety of Barbed Sutures for Capsulorrhaphy in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction.

Background: A common postoperative challenge following implant-based breast reconstruction surgery is lateral or inferior displacement of the implant, which ultimately requires surgical intervention to shape the pocket for improved symmetry. Capsulorrhaphy is traditionally performed with smooth sutures, but the use of barbed sutures has proven to be more efficient and effective in other plastic surgery procedures. This study aimed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of barbed sutures for breast reconstruction implant capsulorrhaphy.

"They thought I was just making it up": Dissociative individuals' understandings of their dissociation, perceptions of their clinicians' conceptualizations of dissociation, and discrepancies between them.

Objective: Dissociation is thought to be traumagenic, though this conceptualization is not without misunderstanding and stigma. There is little research regarding people's conceptualizations of their dissociative experiences and client-clinician discrepancies in understanding dissociation.

Method: An online survey assessed 208 self-reported dissociative participants' understandings of their dissociation and their beliefs about their clinicians' understanding of dissociation via two open-ended questions.

Assessing contributions of DNA sequences at the 3' end of a yeast gene on yFACT, RNA polymerase II, and nucleosome occupancy.

Objective: In past work in budding yeast, we identified a nucleosomal region required for proper interactions between the histone chaperone complex yFACT and transcribed genes. Specific histone mutations within this region cause a shift in yFACT occupancy towards the 3' end of genes, a defect that we have attributed to impaired yFACT dissociation from DNA following transcription. In this work we wished to assess the contributions of DNA sequences at the 3' end of genes in promoting yFACT dissociation upon transcription termination.
