    Abstract Background: The metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint's collateral ligaments have been extensively debated, with no clear consensus on their mechanics. Understanding their function is crucial for comprehending joint movement and stability.
    Methods: A thorough search was conducted across databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane library and grey literature. A total of 59 articles were identified, and after rigorous evaluation, six articles were included in the review.
    Results: The analysis underscores two principal findings. Firstly, the principal and accessory collateral ligaments exhibit consistent tension influenced by the MCP joint's position. This tension varies across different sections of the ligaments. Secondly, the ligaments' interaction with the joint structure plays a pivotal role in defining the range of motion of the joint.
    Conclusion: Preliminary findings from this review indicate that MCP joint collateral ligament tension varies with joint position. Increased tension in the principal collateral ligament during flexion and isometric behavior of its volar portion in extension are observed. The accessory ligament may tighten during extension. The shape of the metacarpal head appears to influence this tension. These insights, while informative, call for further detailed research to deepen our understanding of MCP joint mechanics.

    Abstract Asymmetric information can distort market outcomes. I study how the online disclosure of information affects consumers' behavior and firms' incentives to upgrade product quality in markets where information is traditionally limited. I first build a model of consumer search with firms' endogenous quality decisions. In this model, lower search costs reallocate demand toward higher-quality producers, raising firms' incentives to upgrade quality, and more so for firms selling ex-ante lower-quality products. I then use the access to online reviews to proxy for reductions in consumers' search costs and estimate its impact on the restaurant industry in Rome, exploiting the abolition of mobile roaming charges in the EU in 2017 for identification. Based on a unique dataset combining monthly information from Tripadvisor with administrative social-security records, I find that, after the policy, revenues and total employment in mid- and high-rating restaurants grow by 3-10%. In turn, the probability for low-rating restaurants to exit the market doubles compared to the pre-policy period, while surviving low- and mid-rating establishments hire workers with higher wages and better curricula, eventually improving their Tripadvisor ratings. Overall, the share of low-rating restaurants in the most tourist areas decreases by 2.5 pp. My findings have implications for the role of review platforms in the performance of offline industries under asymmetric information.

    Abstract The etiology and pathogenesis of MS is likely to involve multiple factors interacting with each other, and the role of infectious and viral agents is still under debate, however a consistent amount of studies suggests that some viruses are associated with the disease. The strongest documentation has come from the detection of viral nucleic acid or antigen or of an anti-viral antibody response in MS patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Metacarpal fractures are common sports-related injuries, often requiring tailored treatment strategies, especially in athletes. The management of oblique diaphyseal fractures poses unique challenges due to their inherent instability. This case report discusses a non-surgical approach in treating such fractures in a professional athlete.
    Case presentation: A 26-year-old professional soccer player sustained oblique diaphyseal fractures of the fourth and fifth metacarpals during training. Given the athlete's professional demands and the fracture's nature, a conservative treatment was implemented. This included the application of a modified ulnar gutter brace, allowing for immobilization of the metacarpophalangeal joints (MP) while permitting active mobilization of the interphalangeal joints(IP).
    Clinical discussion: The non-surgical treatment focused on achieving skeletal stability and maintaining hand function. Despite the complexity of oblique fractures, the conservative approach was successful, enabling the athlete to resume professional activities with minimal risk of fracture displacement. Regular radiographic follow-ups showed no further displacement, highlighting the effective management of such fractures through personalized conservative treatment plans.
    Conclusions: This case underscores the viability of conservative treatment for specific metacarpal fractures in athletes. Tailoring the treatment to accommodate the athlete's professional needs and understanding the biomechanical characteristics of the fracture are crucial for successful outcomes. The case also suggests that non-surgical management can be a viable option for certain complex metacarpal fractures, especially in high-demand patients.

    Abstract The etiology and pathogenesis of MS is likely to involve multiple factors interacting with each other, and the role of infectious and viral agents is still under debate, however a consistent amount of studies suggests that some viruses are associated with the disease. The strongest documentation has come from the detection of viral nucleic acid or antigen or of an anti-viral antibody response in MS patients. A further step for the study of the mechanism viruses might be involved in can be made using in vitro and in vivo models. While in vitro models, based on glial and neural cell lines from various sources are widely used, in vivo animal models present challenges. Indeed neurotropic animal viruses are currently used to study demyelination in well-established models, but animal models of demyelination by human virus infection have only recently been developed, using animal gammaherpesviruses closely related to Epstein Barr virus (EBV), or using marmosets expressing the specific viral receptor for Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6). The present review will illustrate the main potential mechanisms of MS pathogenesis possibly associated with viral infections and viruses currently used to study demyelination in animal models. Then the viruses most strongly linked with MS will be discussed, in the perspective that more than one virus might have a role, with varying degrees of interaction, contributing to MS heterogeneity.

    Abstract Introduction: Chronic thoracic pain presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly when arising from rare osteo-muscular conflicts. This report details a unique case of chronic pain due to an osteo-muscular conflict between the right tenth rib and the internal oblique muscle, highlighting the complexities involved in diagnosis and the potential for surgical resolution.
    Case presentation: A 33-year-old male with a decade-long history of chronic right hemithorax pain, unresponsive to conservative treatments, underwent diagnostic evaluation. Advanced imaging techniques, including a thoracic CT scan, revealed an ipodense area between the ninth and tenth ribs, suggesting an osteo-muscular conflict. Surgical intervention, specifically a partial costectomy of the right tenth rib, was pursued, resulting in significant symptom relief and improved quality of life.
    Clinical discussion: This case underscores the importance of considering advanced diagnostic evaluations in persistent chronic pain cases and the effectiveness of targeted surgical interventions in resolving anatomical conflicts. It contributes to the body of knowledge on managing complex musculoskeletal conditions and underscores the need for personalized treatment approaches.
    Conclusion: Surgical intervention in selected cases of chronic pain due to rare anatomical conflicts can offer significant relief and enhance patient outcomes. This case advocates for a nuanced approach to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic thoracic pain, emphasizing the role of advanced imaging and the potential benefits of surgical resolution.

    Abstract The environmental commitment of healthcare stakeholders is poorly described despite the sector pollution and the social needs of more sustainable behaviors. A cross-sectional study comparing the environment commitment of US publicly traded companies producing healthcare equipment (HE), healthcare companies (H), and large capitalization corporates (LC) was designed. Using a financial database, the 20 largest US publicly traded companies by market capitalization were selected for each cohort. The last available sustainability report was investigated, aiming to assess (1) the year and the method of dissemination of the last report; (2) the adhesion to environmental standards; (3) the presence of environmental policies, quantitative targets, and tracking; (4) the third-party evaluations about company environmental sustainability. HE companies published sustainability reports in time (p = 0.048), usually as standalone reports (p < 0.001). Half of HE companies adhered to standards, less than the control groups (p < 0.001). HE companies had an acceptable environmental policy, improving over the time and posing targets, similarly to control groups (p > 0.05). The number of companies reporting quantitative targets/tracking about carbon footprint, water, and renewable energy managements differed among the three cohorts (p = 0.013, p = 0.013, and p < 0.001, respectively), with HE cohort achieving the lowest rates (70%, 70%, and 50%, respectively). Carbon neutrality and all renewable energy statements were rare among HE companies (10% and 5% of companies, p < 0.007). In HE, CDP (The Carbon Disclosure Project) scores were lower than controls (p < 0.001). US publicly traded companies producing healthcare equipment demonstrated to be far less committed to environmental sustainability than healthcare companies and large capitalization corporates. Level of evidence: IV.
