    Abstract: ... gradient encoding directions, b-values of 500 and 800 s/mm: Assessment: Each voxel was binned ...

    Abstract Background: The societal cost of shoulder disabilities in our aging society keeps rising. Providing biomarkers of early changes in the microstructure of rotator cuff (RC) muscles might improve surgical planning. Elevation angle (E1A) and pennation angle (PA) assessed by ultrasound change with RC tears. Furthermore, ultrasounds lack repeatability.
    Purpose: To propose a repeatable framework to quantify the myocyte angulation in RC muscles.
    Study type: Prospective.
    Subjects: Six asymptomatic healthy volunteers (1 female aged 30 years; 5 males, mean age 35 years, range 25-49 years), who underwent three repositioned scanning sessions (10 minutes apart) of the right infraspinatus muscle (ISPM) and supraspinatus muscle (SSPM).
    Field strength/sequence: 3-T, T1-weighted and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI; 12 gradient encoding directions, b-values of 500 and 800 s/mm
    Assessment: Each voxel was binned in percentage of depth defined by the shortest distance in the antero-posterior direction (manual delineation), i.e. the radial axis. A second order polynomial fit for PA across the muscle depth was used, while E1A described a sigmoid across depth:
    Statistical tests: Repeatability was assessed with the nonparametric Wilcoxon's rank-sum test for paired comparisons across repeated scans in each volunteer for each anatomical muscle region and across repeated measures of the radial axis. A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
    Results: In the ISPM, E1A was constantly negative, became helicoidal, then mainly positive across the antero-posterior depth, respective at the caudal, central and cranial regions. In the SSPM, posterior myocytes ran more parallel to the intramuscular tendon (
    Data conclusion: ElA and PA in the proposed framework of the ISPM and SSPM are repeatable with DTI. Variations of myocyte angulation in the ISPM and SSPM can be quantified across volunteers.
    Evidence level: 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

    Abstract The inverse problem that underlies Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is sensitive to the measurement data and the quality of the results of this tissue elasticity imaging process can be influenced both directly and indirectly by measurement noise. In this work, we apply a coupled adjoint field formulation of the viscoelastic constitutive parameter identification problem, where the indirect influence of noise through applied boundary conditions is avoided. A well-posed formulation of the coupled field problem is obtained through conditions applied to the adjoint field, relieving the computed displacement field from kinematic errors on the boundary. The theoretical framework for this formulation via a nearly incompressible, parallel subdomain-decomposition approach is presented, along with verification and a detailed exploration of the performance of the methods via a numerical simulation study. In addition, the advantages of this novel approach are demonstrated in-vivo in the human brain, showing the ability of the method to obtain viable tissue property maps in difficult configurations, enhancing the accuracy of the method.

    Abstract Background: Pediatric post coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) condition (PPCC) is a heterogeneous syndrome, which can significantly affect the daily lives of children. This study aimed to identify clinically meaningful phenotypes in children with PPCC, to better characterize and treat this condition.
    Methods: Participants were children with physician-diagnosed PPCC, referred to the academic hospital Amsterdam UMC in the Netherlands between November 2021 and March 2023. Demographic factors and information on post-COVID symptoms, comorbidities, and impact on daily life were collected. Clinical clusters were identified using an unsupervised and unbiased approach for mixed data types.
    Results: Analysis of 111 patients (aged 3-18 years) revealed three distinct clusters within PPCC. Cluster 1 (n = 62, median age = 15 years) predominantly consisted of girls (74.2%). These patients suffered relatively more from exercise intolerance, dyspnea, and smell disorders. Cluster 2 (n = 33, median age = 13 years) contained patients with an even gender distribution (51.5% girls). They suffered from relatively more sleep problems, memory loss, gastrointestinal symptoms, and arthralgia. Cluster 3 (n = 16, median age = 11 years) had a higher proportion of boys (75.0%), suffered relatively more from fever, had significantly fewer symptoms (median age of 5 years compared to 8 and 10 years for clusters 1 and 2 respectively), and experienced a lower impact on daily life.
    Conclusions: This study identified three distinct clinical PPCC phenotypes, with variations in sex, age, symptom patterns, and impact on daily life. These findings highlight the need for further research to understand the potentially diverse underlying mechanisms contributing to post-COVID symptoms in children.

    Abstract Ultraviolet A light is commonly emitted by UV-nail polish dryers with recent reports suggesting that long-term use may increase the risk for developing skin cancer. However, no experimental evaluation has been conducted to reveal the effect of radiation emitted by UV-nail polish dryers on mammalian cells. Here, we show that irradiation by a UV-nail polish dryer causes high levels of reactive oxygen species, consistent with 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Analysis of somatic mutations reveals a dose-dependent increase of C:G>A:T substitutions in irradiated samples with mutagenic patterns similar to mutational signatures previously attributed to reactive oxygen species. In summary, this study demonstrates that radiation emitted by UV-nail polish dryers can both damage DNA and permanently engrave mutations on the genomes of primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts, human foreskin fibroblasts, and human epidermal keratinocytes.

    Abstract Purpose: The present study assessed the effect of insert articular surface geometry (anatomical versus conventional insert design) on anteroposterior (AP) translation and varus-valgus (VV) laxity in balanced posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Secondly, we evaluated if the AP translation and VV laxity in the reconstructed knee resembled the stability of the native knee.
    Methods: Nine fresh-frozen full-leg cadaver specimens were used in this study. After testing the native knee, anatomical components of a PCL-retaining implant were implanted. The knee joints were subjected to anteriorly and posteriorly directed forces (at 20° and 90° flexion) and varus-valgus stresses (at 20°, 45° and 90° flexion) in both non-weightbearing and weightbearing situations in a knee kinematics simulator. Measurements were performed in the native knee, TKA with anatomical insert geometry (3° built-in varus, medial concave, lateral convex), and TKA with symmetrical insert geometry.
    Results: In weightbearing conditions, anterior translations ranged between 2.6 and 3.9 mm at 20° flexion and were < 1 mm at 90° flexion. Posterior translation at 20° flexion was 2.7 mm for the native knee versus 4.0 mm (p = 0.047) and 7.0 mm (p = 0.02) for the symmetrical insert and the anatomical insert, respectively. Posterior translation at 90° flexion was < 1.1 mm and not significantly different between the native knee and insert types. In non-weightbearing conditions, the anterior translation at 20° flexion was 5.9 mm for the symmetrical and 4.6 mm for the anatomical insert (n.s.), compared with 3.0 mm for the native knee (p = 0.02). The anterior translation at 90° flexion was significantly higher for the reconstructed knees (anatomical insert 7.0 mm; symmetrical insert 9.2 mm), compared with 1.6 mm for the native knee (both p = 0.02). Varus-valgus laxity at different flexion angles was independent of insert geometry. A valgus force in weightbearing conditions led to significantly more medial laxity (1°-3° opening) in the native knee at 45° and 90° flexion compared with the reconstructed knee for all flexion angles.
    Conclusions: Insert geometry seems to have a limited effect with respect to AP translation and VV laxity, in the well-balanced PCL-retaining TKA with an anatomical femoral component. Secondly, AP translation and VV laxity in the reconstructed knee approximated the laxity of the native knee.

    Abstract The difficulty in recognizing early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) in a timely manner due to non-specific symptoms and the limitations of diagnostic tests, combined with the risk of serious consequences if EONS is not treated in a timely manner, has resulted in a low threshold for starting empirical antibiotic treatment. New guideline strategies, such as the neonatal sepsis calculator, have been proven to reduce the antibiotic burden related to EONS, but lack sensitivity for detecting EONS. In this review, the potential of novel, targeted preventive and diagnostic methods for EONS is discussed from three different perspectives: maternal, umbilical cord and newborn perspectives. Promising strategies from the maternal perspective include Group B
