Assessing clinical and patient reported outcomes of Sironix suture anchors in rotator cuff and Bankart repair surgeries.

Background: Rotator cuff tears and Bankart lesions significantly affect shoulder function and quality of life. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and Bankart repair has become the standard treatment for restoring function and reducing pain. Recent advancements include new suture anchor technologies, such as the Sironix suture anchor known for its biomechanical strength and promising outcomes.

Magnetospheric origin of a fast radio burst constrained using scintillation.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are microsecond-to-millisecond-duration radio transients that originate mostly from extragalactic distances. The FRB emission mechanism remains debated, with two main competing classes of models: physical processes that occur within close proximity to a central engine; and relativistic shocks that propagate out to large radial distances. The expected emission-region sizes are notably different between these two types of models.

A Cross-Sectional Study on the Presence of Mamelons in Northeastern India.

Introduction Dental anthropology plays a pivotal role in human evolution and forensic sciences. This study explores a unique method for age estimation-analyzing mamelons on incisors. Mamelons are small projections on the incisal edge of permanent incisors, exhibiting age-related changes.

Factor structure, reliability and validity of an Indian Scale for Assessment of Nomophobia (ISAN) among college students: A multicentre Indian study.

Background: The current severity assessment measures for nomophobia have issues related to clinical applicability, which makes them difficult to be consistently applied in the Indian context. We aimed to develop a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of severity of Nomophobia.

Methods: This study was a two-phase, exploratory sequential mixed method design conducted across three centres in India.

Mindin/spondin-2 regulates fibroblast subpopulations through distinct Src family kinases during fibrogenesis.

Fibrosis results from excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, causing tissue stiffening and organ dysfunction. Activated fibroblasts, central to fibrosis, exhibit increased migration, proliferation, contraction, and ECM production. However, it remains unclear if the same fibroblast performs all of the processes that fall under the umbrella term of "activation".
