Revision of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction presents various challenges not encountered in the primary settings, including malpositioned tunnels, tunnel widening, and the lack of consensus on the ideal graft to be used. This Technical Note describes a one-stage anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction revision using a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft combined with lateral extra-articular tenodesis. This technique represents the ideal approach to tackle complex revision cases primarily characterized by tibial and femoral tunnel osteolysis and rotational knee instability.

In ancient times, metals were thought to be beneficial to health issues but nowadays the link between organic-metal substances and different industrial and medicinal properties is well established.
Methods: A Schiff base ligand (2-fluoro-N'-[(E)-2-hydroxyphenyl) methylene] benzohydrazide) was reacted with a series of transition metals to produce complexes with a general formula [ML(NO)]NO.
Exploring the modulation of TLR4 and its associated ncRNAs in cancer immunopathogenesis, with an emphasis on the therapeutic implications and mechanisms underlying drug resistance.

Article Synopsis
- * The interaction between TLR4 and certain ncRNAs contributes to processes that promote tumors, such as immune cell suppression and resistance to chemotherapy.
- * The findings suggest that targeting TLR4 and its ncRNA regulators could lead to new strategies for predicting treatment responses and improving cancer therapies in the future.
This study was important to improve proper biosecurity measures and controlling the spread of to prevent future outbreaks. This research sought to determine whether virulent species were present in morbid rainbow trout, their resistance and their genetic relatedness. A total number of 542 tissue lesion specimens were collected from gill, liver, heart and kidneys in morbid domesticated fish in Duhok province, Iraq.

- Carbapenem-resistant bacteria are highly resistant to antibiotics and are linked to severe infections in humans, particularly concerning for clinical situations in Duhok province.
- The study aimed to analyze the resistance patterns, identify specific carbapenem-resistant genes, and assess genetic diversity among isolated pathogens.
- Results showed all strains were multidrug-resistant, with COVID-19 patient isolates exhibiting higher resistance; the predominant resistance gene was blaOXA-48, and distinct genetic fingerprints were found among different patient groups.
