Objective: Diagnosis of acetabular retroversion based on crossover sign in the anteroposterior radiograph of the hip joint is well described. Accuracy of the crossover sign to identify global retroversion of the acetabulum in comparison to version of the acetabulum in reconstructed three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) scan of the hip was the aim of this study.
Materials And Methods: X-rays of 500 hips were assessed regarding presence of crossover sign and its location in the upper, middle, or lower third of the acetabulum. Mean of anteversion and true retroversion (defined as less than one standard deviation below the mean of acetabular anteversion) of the acetabulum using reconstructed 3D CT scan by mathematical software was determined among 500 hips. The positive and negative crossover signs were compared to the retroversion obtained by CT scan.
Results: The average of acetabular anteversion was 12.5 ± 4.2 degrees. True global retroversion in 3D CT scans was defined as a version below 8.3 degrees. Although positive crossover sign was seen in 193 out of 500 (38 %), only 69 out of 500 (13.8 %) of hips had version below 8.3 (true retroversion) and 124 subjects had an acetabular version above 8.3. The sensitivity and specificity of crossover signs were about 82 and 70 %, respectively.
Conclusions: The crossover sign could pick up hips with less than normal anteversion with acceptable sensitivity but it has no enough specificity for being used as the sole indication for treatment.

Objectives: Little is known about the efficacy of remotely delivered outcome measures (psychological/health-related assessments) in a signed language for Deaf people. The objective is to explore the equivalence of two modes of remote delivery of health-related quality of life outcome measures in British Sign Language (BSL): asynchronous online assessment versus synchronous live face-to-face online assessment in sign language.
Methods: Thirty-one participants were recruited through Deaf networks and sign language media.

Background: One in three women and one in five men over the age of 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture. Vertebral fractures can be very painful, affect patients' daily function, and in severe cases require hospitalization. Traditionally, fracture pain is treated conservatively with analgesics, and bracing.

In this study, the influence of using rectangular waveforms is comprehensively investigated on the separation and sorting efficiency of dielectrophoretic (DEP) processes. Besides positive effects on DEP experiments, cases of a diminished force due to rectangular waveforms are investigated and discussed. This investigation encompasses two primary experimental setups.

Type II topoisomerase DNA gyrase transduces the energy of ATP hydrolysis into the negative supercoiling of DNA. The postulated catalytic mechanism involves stabilization of a chiral DNA loop followed by the passage of the T-segment through the temporarily cleaved G-segment resulting in sign inversion. The molecular basis for this is poorly understood as the chiral loop has never been directly observed.

Purpose: this study focused on the mixed-type deformities of acetabular retroversion (AR) and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) deformity and aimed to ascertain the changes in pelvic tilt from a supine to a standing position in these cases and identify potential underlying mechanisms.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on cases with symptomatic DDH from January 1, 2019, to April 30, 2023. DDH was defined as lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) <20°.
