Background: Gradual correction of lower-limb angular deformities using external fixators such as the Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) is a well-established technique for addressing complex, multiplanar deformities. A common yet understudied adjunct to this method is the use of a distal tibio-fibular syndesmotic screw to stabilize the ankle mortise during correction. Despite being frequently practiced, the necessity and efficacy of this intervention remain unclear.

Purpose: The consequences of students harboring false beliefs that contradict scientific evidence include reasoning difficulties and applying inaccurate information to problem solving.

However, many belief change initiatives fail, presumably because conventional approaches to belief change conflict with how the brain processes instrumental and valenced information.

Background: Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) is a rare, adult-onset neurodegenerative disease that predominantly affects upper motor neurons. Despite being considered mostly sporadic, familial cases and rare genetic variants in genes associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, hereditary spastic paraplegia and other neurological disorders have been reported in some PLS cases. Due to its rare prevalence among general population, large genetic studies of PLS are lacking.
