Osteoarthritis Therapeutics: From Microenvironment Understanding to Regenerative Intervention—Current Advances and Future Perspectives

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 10, Page 2032-2044, October 2026.
This article outlines a paradigm shift in OA therapeutics, OA as a systemic disease of joint microenvironment imbalance. It synthesizes advances in targeting key pathological hubs—immune, metabolic, and senescent—and details novel regenerative strategies using engineered biomaterials and exosomes.

Does Preoperative Mixed‐Growth Urine Culture Increase the Risk of Urinary Tract Infection After Ureteroscopic Stone Treatment? A Retrospective Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Ureteroscopy (URS) has emerged as a leading treatment option for urinary stones, with its usage growing from 30% to 70% over the last 20 years. Post‐URS complications, particularly infectious issues like UTIs, remain a concern, occurring in up to 25% of cases.

Shockwave Therapy or Acupoint Stimulation Combined With Physiotherapy for Spasticity and Motor Function in Post‐Stroke Recovery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Stroke frequently causes spasticity and motor impairment, reducing independence. Non‐invasive treatments like radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and acupoint‐based transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (Acu‐TENS) show potential, but direct comparisons with physiotherapy are limited.
