Described in the early 1900s by Albrecht and Lapidus, the Lapidus procedure became an important tool in the armamentarium. With the increase of percutaneous techniques, the development of a percutaneous Lapidus seemed obvious.

A whole genome sequence of a new strain of the nitrogen-fixing bacterium known for its diverse plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), was obtained for the first time. The strain, designated e AT, was isolated during a soil analysis in the Chernevaya taiga of Western Siberia, a unique and fertile forest ecosystem known for its diverse plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). The genome under study is fully assembled into seven circular molecules, none of which are unequivocally plasmids, with a total length of 6.

Purpose: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioligand therapy is a promising treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Several beta or alpha particle-emitting radionuclide-conjugated small molecules have shown efficacy in late-stage mCRPC and one, [[177Lu]Lu]Lu-PSMA-617, is FDA approved. In addition to tumor upregulation, PSMA is also expressed in kidneys and salivary glands where specific uptake can cause dose-limiting xerostomia and potential for nephrotoxicity.

Many fixation options exist for correction of a hallux valgus deformity with a first tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis with pros and cons to each. Few have looked at utilizing a shape memory alloy staple made from nitinol for fixation. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a modified Lapidus technique using a nitinol (shape memory alloy) staple combined with a two-screw construct for first tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis in correcting hallux valgus deformity.

Research studies involving human subjects require collection of and reporting on demographic data related to race and ethnicity. However, existing practices lack standardized guidelines, leading to misrepresentation and biased inferences and conclusions for underrepresented populations in research studies. For instance, sometimes there is a misconception that self-reported racial or ethnic identity may be treated as a biological variable with underlying genetic implications, overlooking its role as a social construct reflecting lived experiences of specific populations.
