Commentary on "Consumed by Creed".

"Consumed by Creed" is a research article that suggests a link between obsessive-compulsive symptoms and support for political violence. Analyzing the article and the data set provided by the authors, we found errors in their methodology and procedures, accompanied by a high degree of researcher freedom that could have led to the finding of false-positive results. Given the important political and psychological implications of the claimed findings and the weakness of the evidence presented, we recommend substantial caution in interpreting the results reported in the article, and we urge researchers to drastically improve current research practices in the field of radicalization to ensure that policy decisions are based on valid and reliable evidence.

Long term follow-up of women treated for screen detected atypical ductal hyperplasia or lobular neoplasia in a large UK screening centre.

We report management and outcomes of women with ADH and LN to provide data on potential screening/prevention strategies.

Self-Reducible Painless and Recurrent Prosthetic Hip Dislocation: A Case Study.

Prosthetic hip dislocations following total hip arthroplasty can significantly impact patient quality of life and functional capabilities. Early dislocations typically occur within the first three months post-surgery, while delayed dislocations arise after three months. Notably, patients may experience implant instability and dislocation for years, even decades, after the initial procedure due to a variety of underlying issues.
