To enhance the impact of the jigsaw method, we discuss common challenges to the technique and how to overcome these barriers. Thus, we aim to display the potential of the jigsaw method to foster a supportive learning environment in structural kinesiology, despite limitations, to enhance student engagement and learning.
- |||||||||| Journal: Bone pain in fibrous dysplasia does not rely on aberrant sensory nerve sprouting or neuroma formation. (Pubmed Central) - May 5, 2025
Finally, we provide the first analysis of a series of human FD bone biopsies showing that, within the lesional tissue, sensory nerve fibers are few despite the rich vascular network and appear to be well-organized. These data show that albeit sensory nerve fibers are found within FD lesions, bone pain in humans and functional impairment in mice are not associated to pathological sensory nerve sprouting or formation of neuromas in the Gs?-mutated skeleton.

Short CMN are associated with shorter duration of surgery, reduced tip-apex distance, and lower intraoperative blood loss compared to long CMN for the fixation of IFFs. However, there were no significant differences in functional outcomes, overall complication rates, reoperation rates, mortality within one year, peri-implant fracture, or lengths of hospital stays.

Retrospective data, Journal: Assessing the Efficacy of Romosozumab in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) - May 5, 2025 This comprehensive meta-analysis provides robust evidence that romosozumab is an effective and safe treatment option for postmenopausal osteoporosis, with superior effects on BMD and bone formation biomarkers compared with other interventions. These findings support the use of romosozumab to improve clinical outcomes in this patient population.

Despite existing safety guidelines, this study has elucidated the persistence of craniofacial injuries, suggesting the need for increased compliance with guidelines and advancements in equipment design. There is an evident need for more data on sport-specific injuries to guide and develop more effective injury prevention strategies.

Journal: Out-of-hospital neck of femur injury: An eight-year observational analysis. (Pubmed Central) - May 5, 2025 According to adjusted analysis, increasing age (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR)=1.026, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.021,1.031), paramedic attendance (relative to basic life support-trained personnel, AOR = 3.471 (95%CI 2.921,4.125)), increasing initial pain score (AOR = 1.705 (95%CI 1.665,1.747)), application of a splint (AOR = 1.272 (95%CI 1.147,1.411)) and analgesia administration including opioids and methoxyflurane were associated with clinically meaningful pain reduction...Although most patients with neck of femur fractures reported a clinically meaningful reduction in pain, 30.5% of patients reported moderate to severe pain upon conclusion of out-of-hospital treatment. Expansion of analgesic options available to basic life support-trained patient transport officers, and educating prehospital clinicians on the safety and efficacy of analgesics and splinting practices, represent future opportunities for improvement.
