Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the impact of mental health disorders (MHDs) on the clinical and functional outcomes following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis.
Methods: A systematic review of the EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted in April 2024 following PRISMA guidelines. Data collected included patient demographics, clinical outcomes, complications, and failures.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare and drug development, the ability to efficiently collect, process, and analyze large volumes of real-world data (RWD) is critical for advancing drug development. This article provides a blueprint for establishing an end-to-end data and analytics pipeline in a cloud-based environment. The pipeline presented here includes four major components, including data ingestion, transformation, visualization, and analytics, each supported by a suite of Amazon Web Services (AWS) tools.

- DNA/RNA-stable isotope probing (SIP) connects microbial activity to sequencing data, providing insights into microbial metabolism and community dynamics.
- A review of SIP sequencing metadata revealed that many critical details necessary for reproducibility are often missing, prompting the need for the Minimum Information for any Stable Isotope Probing Sequence (MISIP) standard.
- The MISIP standard outlines five key metadata fields for SIP experiments and aims to enhance metadata collection practices to facilitate better data reuse and improve understanding of microbial ecology and biogeochemical processes.
Background: Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment modality that is used in the treatment of chronic Achilles tendinopathy (AT).
Purposes: To (1) retrospectively assess outcomes after ESWT for both noninsertional AT (NAT) and insertional AT (IAT) at >1-year follow-up and (2) identify potential predictors of outcomes.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
