Article Synopsis
- Clavicle fractures are the most common birth injury in newborns, and a systematic review was conducted to assess the effectiveness of ultrasound (US) for diagnosing these injuries.* -
- Out of 231 initial studies, 7 were selected, examining 136 neonates; ultrasound accurately diagnosed all 135 confirmed fractures, while X-ray identified 95.7% of the fractures in a subset of patients.* -
- The findings suggest that ultrasound is highly reliable for diagnosing clavicle fractures in newborns and should be regarded as the preferred method for this purpose.*
Pressure ulcers (PUs) are a debilitating and often painful condition. They are localized lesions on the skin and/or underlying tissues and are common in the elderly, people with mobility difficulties, diabetics, and vascular disease or malnutrition, as well as in those requiring intensive or palliative care. The prevention and treatment of PUs involve strategies to optimize hydration, circulation, and nutrition.

Article Synopsis
- * Diagnostic methods included EEG, brain MRI, metabolic screening, and clinical exome sequencing, revealing a likely pathogenic variant in the AIFM1 gene and significant functional impairment in mitochondrial protein production.
- * The patient, who experienced severe seizures shortly after birth, showed some improvement by 6 months old without further decline, highlighting the unusual presentation and potential for varied outcomes in AIFM1-related conditions.
Three-dimensional scaffold-based culture has been increasingly gaining influence in oncology as a therapeutic strategy for tumors with a high relapse percentage. This study aims to evaluate electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) scaffolds to create a 3D model of colorectal adenocarcinoma. Specifically, the physico-mechanical and morphological properties of PCL and PLA electrospun fiber meshes collected at different drum velocities, i.
