To clinically evaluate the medium-term results of the arthroscopic treatment of partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCT) using the transtendon repair (TTR) technique and the tear completion repair (TCR) technique through the modified University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Shoulder Rating Scale, the Constant-Murley score, and force analysis. The present was a retrospective reevaluation study of cases operated on arthroscopically for PTRCT after a minimum follow-up of 6 years. There were 34 patients, 18 of whom underwent TTR and 16, TCR.

- Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is a common condition with significant effects on health systems, shifting the focus from mechanical causes to genetics, psychosocial factors, lifestyle, and quality of life in its treatment.
- A study analyzed various lifestyle interventions to see how they affect pain intensity and functional disability in people with CNSLBP, reviewing data from 20 studies, including 16 high-quality clinical trials.
- The findings suggest that multimodal interventions combining cognitive therapy, functional exercises, and aerobic activities are effective in reducing pain and improving functionality, but the long-term sustainability of these improvements is still uncertain.
An antibiotic release system triggered by ultrasound (US) was investigated using chitosan (CS)/ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) hydrogel carriers with amoxicillin (Amox) drug. Different CS concentrations of 1.5, 2, 2.

- Amazonian environments are facing severe degradation due to industrial and agricultural activities, threatening its biodiversity and ecosystem services.
- The primary threats include regional deforestation driven by export demands and the impacts of global climate change.
- Urgent political action is needed to implement known policies to protect the Amazon, as failure to do so will have dire consequences for both the region and the global environment.
