Arthroscopic repair of peripheral dorso-ulnar triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions is now a preferred method. Both outside-in and inside-out techniques are commonly performed for repairing Palmer type 1B TFCC tear. But these techniques have disadvantages of making an additional skin incision to tie knots subcutaneously over the capsule. We performed an arthroscopic all-inside repair technique of Palmer type 1B TFCC tears, which is a modified method of the outside-in technique using a spinal needle. This all-inside technique is as simple as previously described arthroscopic techniques and also has advantages of vertical mattress suture and no additional incision. We recommend this technique as a useful alternative to the others for repairing Palmer type 1B TFCC tear.

Human exposure to complex, changing, and variably correlated mixtures of environmental chemicals has presented analytical challenges to epidemiologists and human health researchers. There have been a wide variety of recent advances in statistical methods for analyzing mixtures data, with most of these methods having open-source software for implementation. However, there is no one-size-fits-all method for analyzing mixtures data given the considerable heterogeneity in scientific focus and study design.

The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, an updated and comprehensive assessment of the global burden attributable to SSBs remains scarce. Here we estimated SSB-attributable T2D and CVD burdens across 184 countries in 1990 and 2020 globally, regionally and nationally, incorporating data from the Global Dietary Database, jointly stratified by age, sex, educational attainment and urbanicity.

Linkers in chemical biology provide more than just connectivity between molecules; their intrinsic properties can be harnessed to enhance the stability and functionality of chemical probes. In this study, we explored the incorporation of a peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-based linker into RNA-targeting probes to improve their affinity and specificity. By integrating a PNA linker into a small molecule probe of the Riboglow platform, we enabled dual binding events: cobalamin (Cbl)-RNA structure-based recognition and sequence-specific PNA-RNA interaction.

Background: Households in areas of socio-economic deprivation are more likely to consume diets low in fruit and vegetables. Fresh Street is a place-based fruit and vegetable voucher scheme with vouchers redeemable with local independent (non-supermarket) vendors. Paper vouchers are offered to all households in a geographical area regardless of household type, size, or income with no requirement to demonstrate need.

Background: Prior studies have demonstrated an association between retinal vascular features and cardiovascular disease (CVD), however most studies have only evaluated a few simple parameters at a time. Our aim was to determine whether a deep-learning artificial intelligence (AI) model could be used to predict CVD outcomes from routinely obtained diabetic retinal screening photographs and to compare its performance to a traditional clinical CVD risk score.
Methods: We included 6127 individuals with type 2 diabetes without myocardial infarction or stroke prior to study entry.
