The immediate ex vivo covering and filling characteristics of antibiotic-loaded resorbable calcium sulfate paste around intramedullary nails [PDF]
Background: Antibiotic-laden polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-coated intramedullary nails (IMNs) are an effective treatment for osteomyelitis, but they pose multiple disadvantages. Antibiotic-loaded resorbable calcium sulfate (ARCS) paste is an alternative

Exercise-induced muscle damage is reduced in resistance-trained males by branched chain amino acids: a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study [PDF]
Background: It is well documented that exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) decreases muscle function and causes soreness and discomfort. Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation has been shown to increase protein synthesis and decrease muscle ...

Task‐specific strength increases after lower‐limb compound resistance training occurred in the absence of corticospinal changes in vastus lateralis [PDF]
Neural adaptations subserving strength increases have been shown to be task‐specific, but responses and adaptation to lower‐limb compound exercises such as the squat are commonly assessed in a single‐limb isometric task.

The limb lengthening over plate eliminates the associated risk of infection with limb lengthening over intramedullary nail. We present our experience of limb lengthening in 15 patients with a plate fixed on the proximal segment, followed by corticotomy and application of external fixator.15 patients (7 females, 8 males) were included in this ...

Biomechanics of predator–prey arms race in lion, zebra, cheetah and impala [PDF]
The fastest and most manoeuvrable terrestrial animals are found in savannah habitats, where predators chase and capture running prey. Hunt outcome and success rate are critical to survival, so both predator and prey should evolve to be faster and/or more
