Considerable efforts have been undertaken to optimize the disclosures of authors but transparency alone will not solve the problem. Financial conflicts of interest in clinical trials are known to affect the research question, study design, and results as well as the conclusions. Non-financial conflicts of interest are less well studied. As a non-negligible proportion of studies are associated with conflicts of interest, more research in this field is warranted, in particular on the management and consequences of such conflicts.

Orthopaedic Sports Injuries in an Aging Population: Current Trends and Future Projections.

Sports Health

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hackensack Meridian Health, Hackensack, New Jersey.

Background: The elderly US population is growing quickly and staying active longer. However, there is limited information on sports-related injuries in older adults.

Hypotheses: (1) National estimate and incidence of sports-related orthopaedic injuries in the US elderly population have increased over the last 10 years, (2) types and causes of sports-related injuries in the elderly have changed, and (3) elderly sports-related injuries will increase more than the number of treating physicians by 2040.

Risk factors associated with depression in athletes include biological sex, physical pain, and history of sport-related concussion (SRC). However, although there are well-documented benefits of sport and physical activity on mental health, many sportspeople still take the risk of competing in contact sports. Therefore, this infographic, supported by scientific evidence, aims to provide sportspeople with an informed decision on their participation.

EZH2 inhibition induces pyroptosis via RHA-mediated S100A9 overexpression in myelodysplastic syndromes.

Exp Hematol Oncol

January 2025

Department of Hematology, the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) represent a group of heterogeneous myeloid clonal diseases derived from aberrant hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is an important regulator in gene expression through methyltransferase-dependent or methyltransferase-independent mechanisms. Herein, we found EZH2 inhibition led to MDS cell pyroptosis through RNA Helicase A (RHA) down-regulation induced overexpression of S100A9, a key regulator of inflammasome activation and pyroptosis.

Background: Closed head injury (CHI) provokes a prominent neuroinflammation that may lead to long-term health consequences. Microglia plays pivotal and complex roles in neuroinflammation-mediated neuronal insult and repair following CHI. We previously reported that induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) can block the effects of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling on NF-κB activation in activated microglia by CXCR4 overexpression.
