CONCLUSION: IUD increases from cephalad to caudad and reduces from anterior to posterior at each level. For the vast majority (regardless of gender/BMI), the IUD is at least 14 mm, especially in the most commonly CDA-treated disc spaces (C5-6, C6-7), suggesting that 14 mm could serve as "one-width" for all CDAs, especially if the primary goal of the surgical technique is to significantly reduce the need for bony resection/burring to create a proper width-fit of the implant.

Senescent cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MASLD), which can negatively affect female fertility. Senolytic drugs are reported to eliminate senescent cells in various tissues, including the ovary. However, the efficacy of senolytic drugs in reducing liver damage and preserving fertility in female mice with MASLD remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of senolytic drugs on liver damage and...

CONCLUSIONS: Focal chondromalacia is common in patients with CDSI. The presence of focal lesions alone did not notably decrease the efficacy of arthroscopic treatment as <50% of patients needed a secondary procedure (7.4-year follow-up). The distribution of focal chondromalacia suggests injuries to other wrist ligaments. We recommend using the Debride-First-Then-Wait protocol to aid in selecting a personalized and lower-risk treatment for CDSI.

Rapid and accurate detection of respiratory pathogens is essential for timely diagnosis, effective treatment, and outbreak monitoring in both human and veterinary medicine. We evaluated the Microbe Finder (MiFi^(®)) software for detection of nine RNA viruses of human and veterinary clinical importance. Species specific signature sequences in the different pathogen genomes were identified, and specific electronic probe sets were curated using the MiFi^(®) software. Analytical specificity and...
