The estimation of population denominators of internally displaced people (IDP) and other crisis-affected populations is a foundational step that facilitates all humanitarian assistance. However, the humanitarian system remains somewhat tolerant of irregular and inaccurate estimates of population size and composition, particularly of IDPs. In this commentary, we review how humanitarian organizations currently approach the estimation of IDP populations, and how field approaches and analytical methodologies can be improved and integrated.

Wrist biomechanics remain incompletely understood due to the complexity of experimental measurements in this multi-bone joint system. Finite element analysis provides a powerful alternative for investigating internal variables such as carpal kinematics and displacement patterns. This technical brief compares two bone representation approaches, all-cortical versus cortical-trabecular, using two distinct finite element models developed from the same wrist CT dataset.

Wastewater solids management is a key contributor to the operational cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). This study proposes a 'waste-to-energy' strategy using a hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL)-based system to displace conventional energy- and emission-intensive practices. The proposed system directs HTL-produced biocrude to oil refineries and recovers regionally tailored nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.

Background: Evidence supporting surgery in elderly patients with distal radius fractures is limited, but displaced fractures may benefit from surgery. This study aimed to determine whether casting is noninferior to surgery for patients aged 65 years or older with substantially displaced intra-articular (AO type C) distal radius fractures.
Methods: This multicenter randomized controlled noninferiority trial included 138 patients (mean age 76 years, SD 6.

This study examines the symptomatic and clinical features and variations in characteristics, such as angle and length of the condylar path in the sagittal plane during protrusion movement, in internal derangement patients treated with exercise therapy. Patients were selected and classified using the diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) axis I. The therapeutic exercise program consisted of lateral jaw movements performed daily, with gradual progression to a target of 50 repetitions per day.

Renal cysts are common, typically asymptomatic, fluid-filled sacs that rarely require intervention. Nevertheless, in rare cases, large symptomatic cysts can cause significant morbidity. We report the case of an 87-year-old man presenting to the emergency department with right chest wall pain following a ground-level fall, accompanied by worsening nausea, vomiting, and decreased oral intake over 6-7 months.
