A 31-year-old woman with Marfan's syndrome presented with amblyopia and a history of gradual bilateral vision loss over the previous 3 to 4 months. She had also had mild sensorineural hearing loss within the previous 2 weeks.

Wildfires have become larger and more severe in recent decades. Fire retardant is one of the most common wildfire response tools to protect against loss of life and property. Previous studies have documented various effects of fire retardant, which commonly contains chemicals used in fertilizers, on plant and invertebrate community composition.

Objective: To explore the risk factors for discontinuation of pericapsular soft tissue and pelvic realignment (PSTP-R) therapy derived from Shiatsu in the candidates with osteoarthritis for total hip replacement (THR) (i.e., candidates for total hip replacement) treated from 2017 to 2020, and to identify the effect modifiers of PSTP-R therapy for patients who continued therapy for 6 months.

Osmotic stresses during cryoprotectant loading induce changes in cellular volume, leading to membrane damage or even cell death. Appropriate model-guided mitigation of these osmotic gradients during cryoprotectant loading is currently lacking, but would be highly beneficial in reducing viability loss during the loading process. To address this need, we reformulate the two-parameter formalism described by Jacobs and Stewart for cryoprotectant loading under the constraint of constant cell volume.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Nishinomiya Watanabe Hospital, Hyogo, Japan.
Background: Previous clinical studies suggest that preserving the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is crucial for stable knee motion and long-term longevity of the reconstructed knee. The ACL damage or loss often occurs in advanced medial osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to investigate the correlation between ACL damage and varus deformity progression as a risk factor for ACL tears in knee OA.

Introduction: Otitis Media (OM) is one of the most common infections in young children and can create fluctuating hearing loss. Despite the commonality of this condition, there is a lack of conclusive evidence on its impact on speech production outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to identify the impact of otitis media on speech production in children.
