is a bacteria responsible for many hospital-acquired infections. Phages are promising alternatives for treating infections, which are often intrinsically resistant. The combination of phage and antibiotics in clearing bacterial infection holds promise due to increasing reports of enhanced effectiveness when both are used together.

However, its application on three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been limited. This study aims to describe the ACL footprint center position on 3D MRI of healthy knees using the quadrant method.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of autogenous vaccines developed by analysing the genetic diversity through DNA fingerprint analysis. A total of 38 Aeromonas strains isolated from 2017 to 2022 were analysed for phenotypic differences using the repetitive element sequence PCR (rep-PCR) with the (GTG) single-primer.

Most PSIs used in TKA were commercial products from implant manufacturers, which could be time-consuming and could potentially affect accuracy as they relied on engineer's decision. This study aimed to present the radiological outcomes of PSI produced by the 3D printing facility at our hospital, with direct involvement of the surgeon in its design.
