Study Design: Case-control study for motion analysis.
Objective: To compare spinopelvic parameters using static radiographs with the values obtained using motion analysis during gait between adult spinal deformity (ASD) or lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).
Summary Of Background Data: It is still unclear whether measurement of radiological parameters using static radiographs can reflect natural sagittal balance during gait in the patients with severe positive sagittal imbalance.
Methods: In this age- and sex-matched case control study, a total of 40 patients, each 20 subjects with either ASD or LSS who were scheduled to undergo surgery were included. Both clinical outcomes and sagittal spinopelvic parameters, including sagittal vertical axis (SVA), lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), and pelvic incidence (PI) were measured. In motion analysis during walking, the angle of anterior pelvic tilt and the angles of the pelvis, hip, and knee were estimated. The correlation between variables was analyzed.
Results: On standing lateral x-rays, SVA, PT, and PI - LL were significantly higher in the ASD group while SS and LL were significantly lower in the ASD group. However, on motion analysis, the average mean anterior pelvic tilt ± SD values in the ASD group were 8.3 ± 10.7 and 8.5 ± 10.7 on the right and left, respectively, and were not different from matched values in the LSS group. A Bland-Altman plot demonstrated a good agreement between the SS in the x-ray and anterior pelvic tilt in the motion analysis. In the ASD group, SS and SVA showed a significant positive correlation with mean anterior pelvic tilt in motion analysis during gait.
Conclusion: The present study showed that the failure of pelvic compensation would likely occur in patients with severe positive sagittal imbalance during walking.

The ability of microbial active motion, morphology, and optical properties to serve as biosignatures was investigated by in situ video microscopy in a wide range of extreme field sites where such imaging had not been performed previously. These sites allowed for sampling seawater, sea ice brines, cryopeg brines, hypersaline pools and seeps, hyperalkaline springs, and glaciovolcanic cave ice. In all samples except the cryopeg brine, active motion was observed without any sample treatment.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of cemented versus cementless reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHFs), with a focus on revision rates, tuberosity union, scapular notching, range of motion, and functional scores.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, incorporating data from studies comparing cemented and cementless rTSA for PHFs. Key outcomes analyzed included revision rates, tuberosity union rates, scapular notching, range of motion, and functional scores.

The effective and precise processing of visual information by the human eye primarily relies on the diverse contrasting functions achieved through synaptic regulation of ion transport in the retina. Developing a bio-inspired retina that uses ions as information carriers can more accurately replicate retina's natural signal processing capabilities, enabling high-performance machine vision. Herein, an ion-confined transport strategy is proposed to construct a bio-inspired retina by developing artificial synapses with inhibitory and excitatory contrasting functions.
