Considering the growing need for developing ecological materials, this study investigates the acoustic, mechanical, and thermal properties of wood composites reinforced with beech or oak wood fibres. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a complex network of interconnected pores within the composite materials, with varying pore sizes contributing to the material's overall properties. Acoustic characterization was conducted using a two-microphone impedance tube.

Aim: To assess the long-term (>10 years) outcomes in anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and implant survival in patient under 60 years and identify risk factors for complications and revision.
Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter study conducted from 1993 to 2008. Over 104 aTSA, 87 in 82 patients (55 years, 36 to 60yo) were included at a mean follow-up of 14±4 years (10 to 25y).

The assessment of research performance is widely seen as a vital tool in upholding the highest standards of quality, with selection and competition believed to drive progress. Academic institutions need to take critical decisions on hiring and promotion, while facing external pressure by also being subject to research assessment. Here we present an outlook on research assessment for career progression with specific focus on promotion to full professorship, based on 314 policies from 190 academic institutions and 218 policies from 58 government agencies, covering 32 countries in the Global North and 89 countries in the Global South.

Anterior tibial tuberosity osteotomy is a well-described therapeutic option for the treatment of patellar instability. External torsion of the anterior tibial tuberosity can be one of several factors that adversely affect the patellofemoral joint and its stability. The Anterior Tibial Tubercle Internal Torsion Osteotomy (ATTITO) allows the correction of excessive external torsion of the tibial tuberosity in a safe and reproducible manner.
