Paraplegia in Flexion and Dementia.

Nippon Ronen Igakkai Zasshi. Japanese Journal of Geriatrics, 1994
The purpose of this study was to assess possible correlations between paraplegia in flexion and dementia in elderly patients in our special nursing home and geriatric hospital. At the time of our study, 10.5% of all our patients were suffering from paraplegia in flexion, with the ratio increasing with advancing age. Disorders of the nervous system, and

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The impact of functional combined anteversion on hip range of motion: a new optimal zone to reduce risk of impingement in total hip arthroplasty

Bone & Joint Open, 2021
Aims: Pelvic tilt (PT) can significantly change the functional orientation of the acetabular component and may differ markedly between patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Influence of Different Head and Neck Positions on Oropharyngeal Leak Pressure with the LMA Protector Airway: A Cross-over Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Introduction: The assessment of seal pressure or leak pressure in supraglottic devices has commonly been used to confirm device functionality and for research purposes regarding laryngeal mask airways (LMAs). When used for controlled ventilation, the LMA

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Grading medial compartment tightness among varus osteoarthritic knees during image-free robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty for optimized pre-resection gap balancing

Bone & Joint Open
Aims: Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) allows for calibrated pre-resection gap balancing (PRGB). Complete PRGB is considered inappropriate as some gap tightness resolves spontaneously during surgery.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses
