Objective:  The aim of this study was to describe the development of a total elbow replacement (TER) technique in swine and report the outcome of TER in a Kunekune sow (61 kg) with severe elbow osteoarthritis.

Methods:  The technique was developed by operating on three pig cadavers (Yorkshire 40-50 kg). The TATE Elbow implant fit was confirmed with modeling to the patient's computed tomography imaging.

Endosomal trafficking is intricately linked to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) fate and signaling. Extracellular uridine diphosphate (UDP) acts as a signaling molecule by selectively activating the GPCR P2Y. Despite the recent interest for this receptor in pathologies, such as gastrointestinal and neurological diseases, there is sparse information on the endosomal trafficking of P2Y receptors in response to its endogenous agonist UDP and synthetic selective agonist 5-iodo-UDP (MRS2693).

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how social networks influence knowledge translation (KT) in child development and rehabilitation (CD&R) in Canada, focusing on the interactions among families, health care providers, KT support personnel, and researchers.
  • Using social network analysis (SNA), the research aims to map and quantify these KT networks, identify barriers and facilitators in connections, and gather participant perspectives.
  • The methodology includes surveys and interviews to gather data, followed by intervention mapping and a Delphi process to develop recommendations for enhancing KT capacity within and among the groups involved.
