Evaluating the risk factors for Lubinus SP II femoral stem fractures: A case series of 5 primary total hip arthroplasty patients with a mean follow-up of 7.5 years.

The reported rate of femoral stem fracture after total hip arthroplasty (THA) varies between less than 0.1 and 3.4%.

Five Practical Video Modules to Reduce Physician Burnout Through Mindfulness and Systematic Review of Evidence.

Burnout, characterized as depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and a sense of reduced personal efficacy, is an ongoing problem faced by surgeons and medical trainees at all levels of training. Increasing evidence suggests that mindfulness interventions are effective in reducing burnout and stress among healthcare providers. With a goal to build our own programs, we sought to evaluate the evidence on mindfulness interventions among physicians and trainees.

Striatin (STRN): A multifunctional protein in cardiovascular health and cancer progression.

Striatin (STRN) is a multifunctional scaffold protein that has emerged as a key regulator in both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. Through modulation of kinases, phosphatases, and calcium-dependent pathways, STRN plays a pivotal role in maintaining cell signaling. In CVDs, STRN role is mediated via STRN influence on vascular reactivity, blood pressure regulation, and vascular remodeling.

A Conditional Generative Diffusion Model of Trabecular Bone with Tunable Microstructure.

Purpose: We developed a generative model capable of producing synthetic trabecular bone that can be precisely tuned to achieve specific structural characteristics, such as bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and spacing (Tb.Sp).
