Article Synopsis
  • * Using single-molecule FRET (smFRET) techniques, researchers provided direct evidence of this subunit rotation mechanism, observing fluctuations in FRET that align with the proposed model.
  • * They measured rotation events in a timescale of 0.4-1.1 seconds, noting multiple recombination cycles and rapid rotation in the cleaved-DNA state without intermediate ligation during a ~25-second observation period.

Objective: The objective of this review is to synthesize the evidence on the prevalence, incidence, risk factors, and preventive and management interventions for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in oral health professionals.

Introduction: Oral health professionals face a considerable risk of developing work-related MSD due to the nature of their work. These disorders can lead to loss of employment, reduced job quality, increased occupational injuries, and early retirement.

Clinical motion analysis involves quantitative measurement of gait patterns to identify gait anomalies that currently or have the potential to impact function, activities of daily living and participation. Clinical motion analysis services are equipped with motion capture technology and comprise specialised staff who deliver 3-dimensional motion analysis services to children and adults who present with varying levels of gait impairment. Data is then used to inform intervention recommendations to clinicians with a view to maintaining independent, functional and pain free walking (or appropriate mobility).

Site-specific DNA recombinases play a variety of biological roles, often related to the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, and are also useful synthetic biology tools. The simplest site-specific recombination systems will recombine any two cognate sites regardless of context. Other systems have evolved elaborate mechanisms, often sensing DNA topology, to ensure that only one of multiple possible recombination products is produced.

Background: In 2010, 2 authors of this current study reported the results of Ponseti treatment compared with primary posteromedial release (PMR) for congenital talipes equinovarus in a cohort of 51 prospective patients. This current study shows outcomes recorded at a median of 15 years after the original treatment.

Methods: Patient health records were available for all 51 patients at a median of 15 years (range, 13 to 17 years) following treatment of congenital talipes equinovarus with either the Ponseti method (25 patients [38 feet]) or PMR (26 patients [42 feet]).
