Recent studies have found that the radial collateral ligament (RCL) plays a key role in the lateral stability of the elbow joint, and there is no truly isometric location for LUCL tendon graft reconstruction tunnels using the original technique. However, no report has been issued on the treatment including RCL reconstruction and the modification of LUCL reconstruction in patients with posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI). Three patients with PLRI were treated using two different ways and produced good results. First, dual reconstruction of the LUCL and RCL was performed, and second, the insertion of the reconstructed LUCL was shifted to the AL instead of to the original ulna to produce a more flexible isometric point setting. We want to report on the management of PLRI by dual reconstruction of the RCL and LUCL and a modification of the original technique of LUCL reconstruction.

The aging process is associated with a loss of bone mass and an accumulation of senescent cells, which is under epigenetic control. Morphological and molecular analysis revealed a notable reduction in bone mass and alveolar crest height in aged mice, accompanied by increased levels of senescent mouse jaw bone marrow stem cells (mJBMSCs). To investigate whether specific transcription factors are involved, assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) was performed on mJBMSCs isolated from 2-, 4-, 8-, and 20-month-old mice.

Development of efficient and stable bifunctional transition metal phosphide catalysts is critical for advancing hydrogen production technologies. Herein, RuCo co-doped NiP (RuCoNiP) was designed and synthesized by one-step electrodeposition for Ni electronic structure modulation, and evolved to RuCoNiP@α-Ni(OH) and RuCoNiP@Co/Ni(OH) heterointerfaces by self-assembled reconstruction during HER and OER processes, respectively. RuCoNiP@α-Ni(OH) enhances HER activity (305.

Rationale And Objectives: To evaluate and compare image quality of different energy levels of virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) using standard versus strong deep learning spectral reconstruction (DLSR) on dual-energy CT pulmonary angiogram (DECT-PA).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 70 patients who underwent DECT-PA (15 PE present; 55 PE absent) scans. VMIs were reconstructed at different energy levels ranging from 35 to 200 keV using standard and strong levels with deep learning spectral reconstruction.

Conscientious objection: a global health perspective.

BMJ Glob Health

December 2024

Global Bioethics Collaborative, Los Angeles, California, USA.

Conscientious objection is a critical topic that has been sparsely discussed from a global health perspective, despite its special relevance to our inherently diverse field. In this Analysis paper, we argue that blanket prohibitions of a specific type of non-discriminatory conscientious objection are unjustified in the global health context. We begin both by introducing a nuanced account of conscience that is grounded in moral psychology and by providing an overview of discriminatory and non-discriminatory forms of objection.

Bullet characterization using Photon-Counting detector CT: A phantom study with intact bullets.

Objectives: Photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) is expected to substantially improve and expand CT-imaging applicability due to its intrinsic spectral capabilities, increased spatial resolution, reduced electronic noise, and improved image contrast. The current study aim is to evaluate PCD-CT efficacy in characterizing bullets based on their dimensions, shape, and material composition.

Materials And Methods: This is an observational phantom study examining 11 unfired, intact bullets of various common calibers, placed in ballistic gelatin.
