In this paper the application of ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and bone scintigraphy in the diagnosis of orthopedic diseases is discussed. Because of the advances in the diagnosis made possible by these investigations, diagnosis is often made earlier with the consequence that therapeutic modalities can be used in a better way. As a result, late complications of orthopedic diseases can be influenced in a positive way.

Purpose: The management of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) at reference centers with specialized multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTB) improves patient survival. The German Cancer Society (DKG) certifies sarcoma centers in German-speaking countries, promoting high standards of care. This study investigated the variability in treatment recommendations for localized STS across different German-speaking tertiary sarcoma centers.

Tendon injuries present significant medical, social, and economic challenges globally. Despite advancements in tendon injury repair techniques, outcomes remain suboptimal due to inferior tissue quality and functionality. Tissue engineering offers a promising avenue for tendon regeneration, with biocompatible scaffolds playing a crucial role.

Chrysoeriol (CHE) is a naturally occurring compound with established anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. This study examines its potential role in regulating osteoclast differentiation and activity, both of which are crucial for bone remodeling. Computational docking revealed high binding affinity between CHE and RANKL, specifically at the Lys-181 residue of RANKL, suggesting potential inhibitory interactions on osteoclastogenesis.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of membrane receptors and are highly effective targets for therapeutic drugs. GPCRs couple different downstream effectors, including G proteins (such as Gi/o, Gs, G12, and Gq) and β-arrestins (such as β-arrestin 1 and β-arrestin 2) to mediate diverse cellular and physiological responses. Biased signaling allows for the specific activation of certain pathways from the full range of receptors' signaling capabilities.

Age-related diseases are often linked to chronic inflammation. Senescent cells secrete inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and matrix metalloproteinases, collectively referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The current study discovered that aging leads to the accumulation of senescent tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) in tendon tissue, resulting in the development of a SASP.
