Pain control after orthopedic surgery is challenging. A multimodal approach provides superior analgesia with fewer side effects compared with opioids alone. This approach is particularly useful in light of the current opioid epidemic in the United States. Several new nonopioid agents have emerged into the market in recent years. New agents included in this review are intravenous acetaminophen, intranasal ketorolac, and newer nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and the established medications ketamine and gabapentinoids. This article evaluates the evidence supporting these drugs in a multimodal context, including a brief discussion of cost.

The DNA cross-link repair 1B (DCLRE1B) gene is involved in repairing cross-links between DNA strands, including those associated with Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome and congenital dyskeratosis. However, its role in tumours is not well understood. DCLRE1B expression profiles were examined in tumour tissues and normal tissues using TCGA, GTEx, and TARGET datasets.

EMG feedback improves force control of a myoelectric hand prosthesis by conveying the magnitude of the myoelectric signal back to the users via tactile stimulation. The present study aimed to test if this method can be used by a participant with a high-level amputation, and whose muscle used for prosthesis control (pectoralis major) was not intuitively related to hand function. Vibrotactile feedback was delivered to the participant's torso, while the control was tested using EMG from three different muscles.

The humeral head is the second most common anatomical site of osteonecrosis after the femoral head. Studies have reported satisfactory clinical outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty to treat osteonecrosis of the humeral head (ONHH). However, there are concerns regarding implant longevity in relatively young patients.
