Hypothesis: Western blot analysis of human prestin in the blood reveals multiple bands, rather than a single band.
Background: Previously, using the ELISA method, prestin was shown to be a good biomarker of outer hair cell (OHC) health and sensorineural hearing loss that could be measured in the blood. Recently, we found that a Western blot approach in an experimental model demonstrated three prestin bands providing greater insights into prestin in the blood and its origins.
Background: Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have proven their effectiveness in orthopaedic settings, especially in tasks like medical image analysis. This study compares human musculoskeletal radiologists to artificial intelligence in a novel, detailed, short, and cost-effective examination of Achilles tendon magnetic resonance images to uncover potential disparities in their reasoning approaches. Aiming to identify relationships between the structured assessment of the Achilles tendon and its function that could support injury prevention.

Material And Methods: 640 postmenopausal women at baseline age above 55 years were included. The cohort was randomly selected from the population of the whole Racibórz district.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify different risk factors for fractures in postmenopausal women over a 10-year period, hypothesizing that risks would vary by fracture location (spine, hip, peripheral).
- A total of 640 women, with an average age of 65 years, were monitored for the incidence of fractures and falls, while clinical risk factors were assessed initially.
- Results showed 190 fractures in 129 women, with falls significantly increasing the risk for hip and forearm fractures but not for spine fractures; specific risk factors for each type of fracture were analyzed, revealing that spine fractures related to bone density, while hip fractures correlated with age.
Recent fMRI resting-state findings show aberrant functional connectivity within somatomotor network (SMN) in schizophrenia. Moreover, functional connectivity aberrations of the motor system are often reported to be related to the severity of psychotic symptoms. Thus, it is important to validate those findings and confirm their relationship with psychopathology.
