In order to estimate the anisotropy emission of 241Am-Be and 252Cf neutron sources from the Spanish Neutron Standards Laboratory (LPN/CIEMAT) detailed models of sources capsules and capsule holders were designed with the MCNPX code. Simulations of the sources inside the capsules without the capsule holders were done to validate the MC model by comparison with experimental results provided by other authors. After that, the capsule holders were incorporated to the simulation. In general, a good agreement has been found between measurements and our calculations. Results show the additional encapsulations have significant influence on anisotropy factors, energy spectra and dose rates.

Inside-Out Repair of Medial Meniscal Ramp Lesions in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
October 2024
Twin Cities Orthopedics, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Article Synopsis
- Medial meniscal ramp lesions occur at the junctions of the medial meniscus and are often found in up to 42% of ACL tears, but commonly go undetected due to limitations in MRI and physical examinations.
- Proper arthroscopic evaluation, including modified techniques, is necessary for effective diagnosis and treatment of these lesions to prevent increased knee instability and potential ACL graft failure.
- The video article outlines a systematic approach to identify and assess ramp lesions, demonstrating an innovative mini-open repair technique during ACL reconstruction surgery.

M2g Consulting, Inc., New York, NY 10024, USA.
This study, conducted between 4 October 2013, and 30 November 2018, tested the hypothesis that triple antimicrobial therapy, targeting subspecies (MAP), long considered a putative cause, would favorably affect Crohn's disease. A double-blind multicenter study of adults with active Crohn's disease, (i.e.

Article Synopsis
- * The research identified 19 types of Chinese patent medicines, highlighting that 13 were significantly discussed in 131 articles, with popular ones being Shenqi Jiangtang Capsules, Jinlida Granules, and Xiaoke Pills, measuring various health outcomes like blood glucose and pancreatic function.
- * The analysis indicated a need for improved research quality, noting most studies lacked proper methodological rigor and underrepresented the unique aspects of traditional Chinese medicine, particularly in evaluating TCM-specific symptoms and patient quality of life.
Targeting intracellular nontuberculous mycobacteria and with a bactericidal enzymatic cocktail.
Microbiol Spectr
May 2024
Endolytix Technology Inc., Beverly, Massachusetts, USA.
To address intracellular mycobacterial infections, we developed a cocktail of four enzymes that catalytically attack three layers of the mycobacterial envelope. This cocktail is delivered to macrophages, through a targeted liposome presented here as ENTX_001. Endolytix Cocktail 1 (EC1) leverages mycobacteriophage lysin enzymes LysA and LysB, while also including α-amylase and isoamylase for degradation of the mycobacterial envelope from outside of the cell.
