An examination method is described for the identification of the snapping hip 30-40 degrees of bending, adduction and alternating anterior and exterior rotation of the hip joint. Through the maximal pre-tension of the tractus iliotibialis it is possible to definitely prove the existence even of minor snapping. In view of the fact that the examination method is a passive one, it can also be employed intra-operatively for direct control of the result of the operation.

Understanding the functions of mitochondrial genomes is crucial for studies related to the evolution of genomes, phylogenomics, and species identification. For the first time, complete mitogenome of a non-snapping shrimp has been successfully sequenced and characterized from Taiwan that belongs to the Decapoda order, Crustacea class, and Caridea infraorder. This study involved analysis of nucleotide composition, codon usage, gene ordering, evolutionary selection pressure, and comparative mitogenomics.

Objectives: One of the most common symptoms in cases of discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) in children is a "snapping" knee. The clock in extension, followed by a pop in flexion, perceived by the clinician, reflects the meniscal displacement caused by the peripheral meniscocapsular detachment. Standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results in a 40% false-negative rate for detecting this instability.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the management of external snapping hip syndrome (ESHS), which has traditionally been linked only to iliotibial band (ITB) tightness but may also involve the gluteus maximus complex (GMC).
- Over a period of six years, 30 patients with persistent ESHS underwent an endoscopic surgical procedure that progressively targeted the ITB and GMC, assessing snapping resolution at every step.
- Follow-up results showed that all patients experienced complete snapping resolution with significant improvement in functional outcomes, highlighting the effectiveness of a tailored surgical approach that conserves surrounding tissues.
Land use and life history constrain adaptive genetic variation and reduce the capacity for climate change adaptation in turtles.

Background: Rapid anthropogenic climate change will require species to adapt to shifting environmental conditions, with successful adaptation dependent upon current patterns of genetic variation. While landscape genomic approaches allow for exploration of local adaptation in non-model systems, most landscape genomics studies of adaptive capacity are limited to exploratory identification of potentially important functional genes, often without a priori expectations as to the gene functions that may be most important for climate change responses. In this study, we integrated targeted sequencing of genes of known function and genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphisms to examine spatial, environmental, and species-specific patterns of potential local adaptation in two co-occuring turtle species: the Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) and the snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina).

Self-shaping hydrogel actuators have promising applications in various fields. However, one hydrogel actuator can generally access only one specifically predefined deformation and output force, which are determined by its thermodynamic equilibrium swelling state under external stimuli. Here, we present a simple yet versatile strategy for precisely programming the output force/energy of dual-gradient hydrogel actuators.
