Identifying Risk Factors of Children Who Suffered Physical Abuse: A Systematic Review.

Background: Approximately 25% of children in the United States experience child abuse or neglect, 18% of whom are physically abused. Physicians are often in a position to differentiate accidental trauma from physical child abuse. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review recent literature for risk factors associated with physical child abuse.

In-vitro and in-vivo assessment of biocompatibility and efficacy of ostrich eggshell membrane combined with platelet-rich plasma in Achilles tendon regeneration.

Tendon injuries present significant medical, social, and economic challenges globally. Despite advancements in tendon injury repair techniques, outcomes remain suboptimal due to inferior tissue quality and functionality. Tissue engineering offers a promising avenue for tendon regeneration, with biocompatible scaffolds playing a crucial role.

Utilization of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of pes planus and pes cavus with a smartphone camera.

Background: Pes planus (flatfoot) and pes cavus (high arch foot) are common foot deformities, often requiring clinical and radiographic assessment for diagnosis and potential subsequent management. Traditional diagnostic methods, while effective, pose limitations such as cost, radiation exposure, and accessibility, particularly in underserved areas.

Aim: To develop deep learning algorithms that detect and classify such deformities using smartphone cameras.

Congruent Weber-B ankle fractures do not alter tibiotalar contact mechanics.

Current treatment strategy for managing Weber B ankle fractures is mainly governed by mortise congruency, malleolar alignment, deltoid ligament competence and fracture stability. While nonoperative treatment has yielded good functional outcomes in satisfactorily aligned stable injuries, a biomechanical rationale is not firmly established. Furthermore, current radiographic analysis is obscured by observer inaccuracy and beam rotation.
