Background: Electromagnetic field therapy is gaining attention for its potential in treating bone disorders, with Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) emerging as an innovative approach. EMTT offers a higher oscillation frequency and magnetic field strength compared to traditional Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy, showing promise in enhancing fracture healing and non-union recovery. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear.

Unlabelled: The accurate classification of bone tumours is crucial for guiding clinical decisions regarding treatment and follow-up. However, differentiating between various tumour types is challenging due to the rarity of certain entities, high intra-class variability, and limited training data in clinical practice. This study proposes a multimodal deep learning model that integrates clinical metadata and X-ray imaging to improve the classification of primary bone tumours.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFemoral fractures are often considered lethal for adult horses because femur osteosynthesis is still a surgical challenge. For equine femur osteosynthesis, primary stability is essential, but the detailed physiological forces occurring in the hindlimb are largely unknown. The objective of this study was to create a numerical testing environment to evaluate equine femur osteosynthesis based on physiological conditions.
