A Review on Biomechanics of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Materials for Reconstruction by M. Marieswaran, Ishita Jain, Bhavuk Garg, Vijay Sharma, Dinesh Kalyanasundaram

“…The key conclusions of this review are as follows: (a) the highest shear forces on the anterior cruciate ligament occur during hyperextension/low flexion angles of the knee joint; (b) the characterization of the anterior cruciate ligament at variable strain rates is critical to model a viscoelastic behavior; however, studies on human anterior cruciate ligament on variable strain rates are yet to be reported; (c) a significant disparity on maximum stress/strain pattern of the anterior cruciate ligament was observed in the earlier works; (d) nearly all synthetic grafts have been recalled from the market; and (e) bridge-enhanced repair developed by Murray is a promising technique for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, currently in clinical trials. …”

Discrepancies in tuberculosis burden estimates: North Korean defectors vs. official reports by Inho Jang, Heesang Han, Seungcheol Lee, Hyeongyeong Jeong, Rugyeom Lee, Yedham Kang, In-Hwan Oh, Seung Heon Lee, Seung Heon Lee

“…The proportion of extrapulmonary TB in NKDs was 36–46%, similar to South Korean patterns. The estimated and reported multidrug-resistant TB rates in NKDs were higher than in the control group, highlighting potential underreporting in North Korean data.ConclusionThere were large gaps in TB prevalence between NKD and native North Korean residents and between the estimated and reported TB burden within North Korea. …”
