Abstract

To determine the correlation between anatomical angles of knee joint and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and evaluate the effects of these angles on identifying people prone to ACL injury in males. From January 2013 to October 2017, male patients with and without non-contact ACL injury were included in the case and control groups, respectively. Anatomical angles on the sagittal and coronal magnetic resonance (MR) images of these patients were measured by senior radiologist and orthopaedic surgeon. The parameters contained medial tibial slope (MTS), lateral tibial slope (LTS), medial-lateral plateau slope (MLPS), femoral axis-Blumensaat line angle (FABA), anterior tibia slope (ATS), anterior tibial-Blumensaat line angle (ATBA). The Student's-t test or rank sum test was used to compare the independent samples between different groups. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the effects on identifying people apt to suffer an ACL injury of these angles. A total of 150 male patients were included in the study. There were 72 patients in the case group and 78 patients in the control group. The MTS, LTS and ATBA in the case group were significantly greater than those in the control group (P = 0.021, P < 0.001, ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
