Studying the Natural History of the Knee Joint

By the time the orthopaedic surgeon sees a patient with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis, the disease has already progressed to an advanced stage. As a result, studying the full natural history of the knee is especially difficult. A few large longitudinal cohorts, the Osteoarthrit...

Expanding Orthopaedic Care Across the Pacific: A Global Health Model Translated Into the Pacific Islands Orthopaedic Association

Pacific Island countries face persistent and profound gaps in access to essential orthopaedic care driven by geographic dispersion, fragile infrastructure, and workforce shortages. Reliance on overseas medical referral schemes, often politically influenced and consuming substanti...

The Influence of Media Type and Posting Time on Altmetric Engagement of Orthopaedic Surgery Journals on X

INTRODUCTION: Digital promotion of orthopaedic research is increasingly associated with scholarly visibility yet the influence of specific social media posting characteristics on online attention remains unclear. The Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) is a weighted score that measur...

Impact of Preexisting Dementia on Mortality, Readmissions, and Complications After Surgical Repair of Hip Fractures: A Cohort Analysis

OBJECTIVES: As the population ages, hip fractures are projected to increase. These fractures carry high morbidity and mortality in older adults. Dementia, common among these patients, may further worsen outcomes. This study evaluates the impact of preexisting dementia on mortalit...

Prime-Coordinate Analysis: Foundations, Measure Theory, Operator Structure, and Arithmetic Geometry

Abstract This work develops a systematic framework for studying positive integers through their prime-exponent coordinates. Writing n=∏ppvp(n),n=p∏pvp(n), an integer is represented as a finitely supported vector indexed by the primes. This representation separates three distinct...

On Boundaries of Evidence — Boundary-State Calculus for Typed Observation, Admissible Transfer, and Falsifiable Persistence

Version 1.4.0 of a foundational preprint proposing Boundary-State Calculus as a typed mathematical audit calculus for claims that move between scientific descriptions. This release adds a bounded audit of a published Collatz recursive-sufficiency induction, proves replacement zer...

Design and implementation of an aerofoil flow simulation tutorial to improve students’ knowledge and experience

Across the globe, conventional teaching methods such as lectures and in-class tutorials are widely used in engineering education. While experimental lab sessions have been included in the technical subjects, such as the wind tunnel analyses performed in most of the aeronautical e...

Refined parameters, formation, and dynamical stability of the wild exoplanet system K2-312≡HD 80653

The architecture of planetary systems hosting ultra-short-period (USP) planets is a key diagnostic for understanding formation and migration scenarios. The presence of outer giant companions in these systems is of particular interest to test theories regarding dynamical effects a...

Is 3 really better than 2? In vivo functional calcium imaging of cortical circuits by two- and three-photon microscopy

This study explores the capability of three-photon functional imaging to resolve functional cortical architecture in mice. By a quantitative, back-to-back comparison in awake head-fixed mice, we demonstrate that three-photon imaging is equally capable compared to two-photon imagi...

Towards COLREGs-aware ship collision avoidance with multi-agent PPO-LSTM in maritime IoT

Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships are expected to operate in a maritime IoT environment, where distributed sensing, V2V/AIS/VDES communication links, and electronic charts jointly support perception–decision–control loops for safe navigation in congested waters. A key challenge i...

The ephemera of remembrance.

This article is one of scale, from small pieces of paper meant to memorialise an individual to the gargantuan question of how the British government was to memorialise over half a million war dead. Overall, an estimated 722,785 British and Irish soldiers died during the First Wor...
