Health-related Quality of Life in Patients with Achondroplasia after Global Limb-lengthening Surgery: A Case Series by Ignacio Ginebreda, Maximiliano Ibáñez, Nicole Canu, Carolina Echavarria, Joana Lebre, Miriam Pérez

“…Results: After global lengthening in 35 patients (210 segments), mean increases in limb length (right and left, respectively) were 15.0 and 15.3 cm for the tibia, 14.1 and 14.1 cm for the femur, and 10.8 and 10.9 cm for the humerus, gaining in average 29 cm from lengthening the lower extremities. When compared with a control group (short stature who did not receive limb-lengthening surgery [n = 44]), our patients reported significantly higher mean scores across all eight SF-36 subscales (P < 0.0001 for all subscales). …”

Prevalence of Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit in Fast Bowlers and Its Correlation with Bowling Speed by Suresh Perumal

“…Background: Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) is a common musculoskeletal disorder seen in overhead athletes due to repetitive overhead activity at extreme ranges of motion. This causes capsuloligamentous and muscular microtrauma, leading to anterior capsule overstretching along with the posterior band of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) and posterior capsular contracture. …”

A Drosophila melanogaster mitotype may have an adaptive meaning by D. V. Petrovskii, L. P. Zakharenko

“…We compared D. melanogaster strains with different mitotypes by locomotor activity (using TriKinetics Drosophila Activity Monitor), energy expenditure (by indirect calorimetry, based on measuring oxygen consumption) and life span (under extreme conditions at 29 °C). The nuclear genomes of these strains were aligned for several generations by backcrosses. …”
