Perioperative Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in Orthopedic Trauma: A Practical Review.

R I Med J (2013)

February 2025

Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Rhode Island Hospital, Providence, Rhode Island.

Background: Orthopedic trauma patients are at high risk for venous thromboembolic (VTE) complications. Despite this, VTE prophylaxis is often held peri-operatively out of concern for increased bleeding and associated complications. This review's purpose is to examine guidelines and studies on withholding prophylactic anticoagulation peri-operatively.

Aging and word predictability during reading: Evidence from eye movements and fixation-related potentials.

Atten Percept Psychophys

January 2025

School of Psychology and Vision Sciences, George Davies Centre for Medicine, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK.

The use of context to facilitate the processing of words is recognized as a hallmark of skilled reading. This capability is also hypothesized to change with older age because of cognitive changes across the lifespan. However, research investigating this issue using eye movements or event-related potentials (ERPs) has produced conflicting findings.

Interactions between gut microbes and host promote degradation of various fiber components in Meishan pigs.

mSystems

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Pig Genetic Resources Evaluation and Utilization (Nanjing), Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Institute of Swine Science, College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, China.

Unlabelled: Although metagenomic investigations into microbial fiber-degrading capabilities are currently prevalent, there is a notable gap in research concerning the regulatory mechanisms underpinning host-microbiota interactions that confer tolerance to high-fiber diets in pigs. In this study, 28 Meishan (MS) and 28 Large White (LW) pigs were subjected to feeding experiments involving various fiber levels. Subsequently, multi-omics was employed to investigate the influence of host-microbiota interactions on the fiber degradation of pigs.

Structural and evolutionary insights into the functioning of glycoprotein hormones and their receptors.

Andrology

January 2025

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Columbia University, New York, New York, USA.

The neuroendocrine system that comprises the glycoprotein hormones (GpHs) and their receptors is essential for reproduction and metabolism. Each GpH hormone is an αβ heterodimer of cystine-knot proteins and its cognate receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) distinguished by a large leucine-rich-repeat (LRR) extracellular domain that binds the hormone and a class A GPCR transmembrane domain that signals through an associating heterotrimeric G protein. Hence, the receptors are called LRR-containing GPCRs-LGRs.

Knowledge of gym goers on myths and truths in resistance training.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Movement Science, Institute of Sports Science, University of Klagenfurt, Klagenfurt, Austria.

Over the last decades, resistance training (RT) has experienced a surge in popularity, and compelling evidence underpins its beneficial effects on health, well-being, and performance. However, sports and exercise research findings may translate poorly into practice. This study investigated the knowledge of Austrian gym-goers regarding common myths and truths in RT.
