Assessment of gastrointestinal health in racing Alaskan sled dogs using capsule endoscopy and inflammatory cytokines.

May 22, 2023

Exercise-induced gastrointestinal syndrome occurs in dogs and people and might compromise athlete performance by increasing intestinal permeability and causing gastrointestinal erosions. Racing sled d...

Tough and stretchable all-κ-carrageenan hydrogel based on the cooperative effects between chain conformation transition and stepwise mechanical training.

May 15, 2023

The traditional κ-carrageenan (κCG)-based hydrogel obtained from hot water can rupture easily under mechanical loading. To address this vulnerability, here we presented a robust all-κCG hydrogel wi...

Hemostasis-osteogenesis integrated Janus carboxymethyl chitin/hydroxyapatite porous membrane for bone defect repair.

May 15, 2023

May 15, 2023

Low back pain is one of the leading causes of disability in the world. Regenerative medicine can be one of the novel treatment breakthroughs in patients with low back pain, yet its use is still debata...

New Insights into Calorie Restriction Induced Bone Loss.

May 08, 2023

Caloric restriction (CR) is now a popular lifestyle choice due to its ability in experimental animals to improve lifespan, reduce body weight, and lessen oxidative stress. However, more and more emerg...

Concomitant valgus hip osteotomy in operative fixation of displaced proximal femoral neck fractures.

May 08, 2023

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered the preferred treatment for displaced proximal femoral neck fractures. However, in many countries this option is economically unviable. To improve outcomes i...

Orbital wall restoration with primary bone fragments in complex orbital fractures.

May 08, 2023

Complex orbital fractures are impure orbital fractures because they involve the orbital walls and mid-facial bones. The author reported an orbital wall restoration technique in which the primary orbit...

Long-term outcomes after core extirpation of fibrous dysplasia of the zygomaticomaxillary region.

May 08, 2023
