Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of administering intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) on altering visual field clarity (VFC) during arthroscopic hip preservation surgery for patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).

Methods: This randomized, double-blind, parallel-design trial was conducted over a seven-month period between October 2023 and May 2024 at a single tertiary musculoskeletal hospital. Inclusion criteria included consecutive patients that were diagnosed with FAIS through clinical history, physical exam and advanced imaging and indicated for hip arthroscopy after having failed conservative management.

Indoor residual spraying (IRS) and the use of insecticide-treated bednets for malaria vector control have contributed substantially to a reduction in malaria disease burden. However, these control tools have important shortcomings including being donor-dependent, expensive, and often failing because of insufficient uptake. We assessed the safety and efficacy of a user-friendly, locally tailored malaria vector control approach dubbed "Hut Decoration for Malaria Control" (HD4MC) based on the incorporation of a WHO-approved insecticide, Actellic 300 CS, into a customary hut decoration practice in rural Uganda where millions of the most vulnerable and malaria-prone populations live in mud-walled huts.

Phosphate rebinding induces force reversal via slow backward cycling of cross-bridges.

Front Physiol

January 2025

Institute of Vegetative Physiology, University of Cologne, Köln, Germany.

Objective: Previous studies on muscle fibers, myofibrils, and myosin revealed that the release of inorganic phosphate (P) and the force-generating step(s) are reversible, with cross-bridges also cycling backward through these steps by reversing force-generating steps and rebinding P. The aim was to explore the significance of force redevelopment kinetics (rate constant ) in cardiac myofibrils for the coupling between the P binding induced force reversal and the rate-limiting transition for backward cycling of cross-bridges from force-generating to non-force-generating states.

Methods: and force generation of cardiac myofibrils from guinea pigs were investigated at 0.

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is an important causative agent of respiratory tract disease. Fundamental knowledge of the interaction between HMPV and the innate immune system could lead to the design of novel antiviral therapies. Previously, we demonstrated that HMPV M2-2 deletion mutants had hypermutated genomes and contained defective interfering particles (DIs), which are potent inducers of the IFN response.

C16 peptide and angiopoietin-1 alleviate the side effects of glucocorticoids in a rat multiple sclerosis model.

Life Sci

January 2025

Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Medical College, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. Electronic address:

Background: Natural glucocorticoids (GCs) have been widely used to treat acute multiple sclerosis (MS) attacks. However, they also cause significant side effects related to immunosuppression. Our previous study found that C16 peptide combined with angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) inhibited inflammatory cell infiltration and protected blood vessels in animal models of inflammatory neurodegenerative diseases.
