Article Abstract

Over the past half-century, musculoskeletal simulations have deepened our knowledge of human and animal movement. This article outlines ten steps to becoming a musculoskeletal simulation expert so you can contribute to the next half-century of technical innovation and scientific discovery. We advocate looking to the past, present, and future to harness the power of simulations that seek to understand and improve mobility. Instead of presenting a comprehensive literature review, we articulate a set of ideas intended to help researchers use simulations effectively and responsibly by understanding the work on which today's musculoskeletal simulations are built, following established modeling and simulation principles, and branching out in new directions.

Background: Previous studies involving cleanup via conventional solid-phase extraction (SPE) materials to overcome matrix effects for the polar organophosphonate and -phosphinate pesticides glyphosate, glufosinate, ethephon, fosetyl, and their various metabolites often showed limitations due to the existence of various matrix compounds in plant commodities with similar polarity. To overcome existing drawbacks, we utilized the unique selectivity provided by metal oxides as SPE materials. These were exploited in a novel automated online SPE-LC-MS/MS method which allowed analyte-specific trapping in the presence of excessive amounts of matrix compounds as typically contained in extracts of the Quick Polar Pesticides (QuPPe) method.

Background: The effect of Breastfeeding Self-efficacy (BFSE) and the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative's (BFHI) 10 Steps on breastfeeding initiation, continuation and exclusivity, is well established. However, direct evidence about the association between the experience of the 10 steps and self-efficacy is limited.

Objective: To assess the association between adherence to the 'Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding', sociodemographic factors and other predictors with breastfeeding self-efficacy (BFSE) at 48 h and at one month postpartum.

Ten Eleven Translocation (TET) proteins can oxidize 5-methylcytosine to generate in sequential steps oxidized forms of cytosine: 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine. Through their catalytic activity TET proteins promote active DNA demethylation. There are three TET proteins: TET1, TET2 and TET3.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and quality of a standardized technique for single-port laparoscopic paraaortic lymphadenectomy guided by a novel anatomical concept.

Methods: This single-center prospective study enrolled patients with gynecological cancers requiring paraaortic lymphadenectomy from February 2022 to May 2025. All patients underwent single-port laparoscopic paraaortic lymphadenectomy using a standardized technique grounded in a novel "renal vein angle" anatomical concept.

Development and validation of a LC-MS/MS method for the detection of 38 benzodiazepines and 2 Z-drugs in blood.

Benzodiazepines and Z-drugs are commonly used as prescription medications to treat anxiety, epilepsy, insomnia, and alcohol withdrawal syndrome, but their use can lead to tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal reactions if taken against official guidelines. Furthermore, designer benzodiazepines, most of which lack clinical and toxicological data, have entered the illicit drug market as new psychoactive substances and are used for recreational purposes. Their abuse can cause confusion, memory loss, respiratory depression, and even death, especially when combined with other sedative-hypnotics or alcohol.
