Multiple trauma and injuries are the main causes for mortality and long term disability in the younger population under 50 years old. Monitoring patient-relevant long term consequences after an acute event is therefore of high importance. However, there is no systematic overview on the assessment instruments and their concepts used to monitor long term outcome of multiple trauma. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a framework to standardize and compare assessment instruments. We conducted a systematic search of the electronic databases Medline and Embase covering the years 2000 to 2006 and data on utilized instruments were extracted from the retrieved studies. The corresponding concepts were identified and coded using the ICF. A total of 117 studies with 112 instruments were included and 1,032 different concepts were extracted of which 93% could be coded. This review confirms the heterogeneity and complexity of the problems encountered after multiple trauma. A homogeneous concept for assessment of long term outcome is warranted.

Research has shown that physical activity on prescription (PAP), used in Swedish healthcare, increases patients' physical activity, but data are lacking regarding the long-term effects of PAP on exercise capacity. Therefor exercise capacity was evaluated in patients with metabolic risk factors, after 4.5 years of PAP treatment provided by physiotherapists in primary healthcare.

Objective: Both the Masquelet technique (MT) and concentrated growth factors (CGF) reduce early graft loss and improve bone regeneration. This study aims to explore the efficacy of combining MT with CGF for mandibular defect repair by characterizing the induced membrane and assessing in vivo osteogenesis.
Materials And Methods: Three experimental groups were compared: negative control (NC), MT, and Masquelet combined with CGF (MTC).

Cellular senescence is a phenotypic state that contributes to the progression of age-related disease through secretion of pro-inflammatory factors known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Understanding the process by which healthy cells become senescent and develop SASP factors is critical for improving the identification of senescent cells and, ultimately, understanding tissue dysfunction. Here, we reveal how the duration of cellular stress modulates the SASP in distinct subpopulations of senescent cells.

Lithium is used in the long-term treatment of bipolar disorder, exhibiting a beneficial effect on the neuronal cells. The concentration of lithium in the blood serum can vary and can easily approach a level that is related to cardiotoxic adverse effects. This is due to its narrow therapeutic index.

The generation of germline cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) represents a milestone toward in vitro gametogenesis. Methods to recapitulate germline development beyond primordial germ cells in vitro have relied on long-term cell culture, such as 3-dimensional organoid co-culture for ~four months. Using a pipeline with highly parallelized screening, this study identifies combinations of TFs that directly and rapidly convert hiPSCs to induced oogonia-like cells (iOLCs).
