Objective: Chimpanzees are altricial in terms of their locomotor development and transition from being carried to engaging in suspensory and arboreal locomotor behaviors to eventually relying on terrestrial quadrupedalism as their main form of locomotion. Here, we consider the mechanical implications of femoral cortical bone restructuring during growth and locomotor development in wild chimpanzees.
Materials And Methods: Cortical bone structure was examined in an ontogenetic sample of wild chimpanzees from a single subspecies (P.

Theranostics is emerging as a critical pillar of oncologic management, as exemplified by the success of Lu-177-PSMA-617 for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. The emergence of such theranostic agents represents an opportunity to reconsider facets of nuclear medicine practice that will enable its engagement in high-volume radioligand delivery. In this article, we aim to explore simple ethical principles that can guide the development of theranostics programs as radiopharmaceutical agents proliferate and the typical nuclear medicine physician transitions from a primarily diagnostic role to a mixed diagnostic and therapeutic role.

Background: Medical education integrates skills training and simulation to prepare students for clinical tasks. A seminar on interventional radiology was restructured to include specific practical training utilizing a 3D-catheter model. We aimed to investigate the complex interplay between student evaluations, their visual-spatial ability and practical performance.

Introduction: Travel restrictions implemented during the acute phases of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chain for critical radiology consumables including contrast media (CM) leading to shortages. Consequently, some departments had to restructure their clinical workflows in accordance to recommended guidelines to ensure safe continuity of patient care. This study aimed to summarise the temporary crisis-driven recommendations with implicit environmental sustainability essence and to analyse how these measures might inform the development of a more sustainable, long-term clinical guideline for safer and cost-effective CM usage without compromising diagnostic quality.

Eggshell membrane-based biomedical applications have recently received great attention for their wound-healing properties. However, there are limited studies on diabetic wound healing. In this regard, we devised four types of composite eggshell membrane mats with nanoscale coatings of bioactive glass/Zn/Co-doped bioactive glass (ESM + BAG, ESM + ZnBAG, ESM + CoBAG, and ESM + ZnCoBAG) as wound-dressing materials for chronic nonhealing diabetic wounds.
