The clinical disorder traditionally known as or has been the subject of several publications over the past two decades. Now, it is understood that the problem does not lie in the posterior tibial tendon per se and may even occur without tendon injury. Studies have brought new concepts and understanding that question the views on this subject, culminating in the replacement of existing classifications with one that is more assertive and discriminative of the potential presentation patterns of the deformity. In addition, a change in the name of the disorder to (PCFD) has been proposed. Regarding surgical treatment, the concept of an approach persists, emphasizing axis realignment through osteotomies, arthrodeses, and soft tissue balancing, which consists of tendon transpositions/repairs and reconstruction of ligament structures, especially the deltoid ligament complex and the spring ligament.

Current research indicates that polyethylene terephthalate microplastics (PET-MPs) may significantly impair male reproductive function. This study aimed to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms underlying this impairment. Potential gene targets of PET-MPs were predicted via the SwissTargetPrediction database.

Introduction: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) represents a major public health issue that produces far-reaching physiological effects. AUD is an underappreciated, yet critical risk factor clinicians need to be aware of and screen for to integrate preventive and therapeutic strategies when dealing with pneumonia in this vulnerable population. This research paper investigates the link between AUD and pneumonia by examining both the elevated risk of lung infection and the intensified disease severity.

Introduction: Laboratory-acquired infections (LAIs) from exposure to infectious biological pathogens during laboratory operations present ongoing challenges despite modern biosafety measures. Notably, LAIs attributed to inhaling infectious aerosols continue to occur.
Objective: This review aims to enhance understanding of the risks of LAIs associated with infectious aerosols.

Background: In contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) and contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis (CEDBT), low-energy (LE) and high-energy (HE) images are acquired after injection of iodine contrast agent. Weighted subtraction is then applied to generate dual-energy (DE) images, where normal breast tissues are suppressed, leaving iodinated objects enhanced. Currently, clinical systems employ a dual-shot (DS) method, where LE and HE images are acquired with two separate exposures.
