Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Sports Medicine
Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

Achilles tendon injuries are rising due to increased sports participation, obesity, and an aging population.
Current treatment debates exist between operative and nonoperative management for Achilles tendon ruptures.
Existing surgical repair methods may benefit from biomechanical enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a modified rip-stop technique for Achilles tendon repair.
To enhance the biomechanical properties of surgical interventions for Achilles tendon injuries.
To improve load-to-failure and facilitate a faster return to sport for athletes.

Main Methods:

Proposal of a modified rip-stop surgical technique for Achilles tendon repair.
Application in cases of Achilles tendon ruptures, insertional Achilles tendonitis, and augmentation of SpeedBridge repairs.
Focus on achieving superior biomechanical outcomes and functional recovery.

Main Results:

The modified technique is hypothesized to offer a biomechanical advantage.
Anticipated outcomes include increased load-to-failure capacity.
The goal is a quicker and more dependable return to athletic activity.

Conclusions:

The modified rip-stop technique presents a promising advancement in surgical management of Achilles tendon injuries.
This approach aims to optimize patient outcomes, particularly for athletic populations.
Further clinical evaluation is warranted to confirm enhanced biomechanical performance and functional recovery.
