Do dual-mobility cups reduce revision risk in femoral neck fractures compared with conventional tha designs? An international meta-analysis of arthroplasty registries by Farey, JE, Masters, J, Cuthbert, AR, Iversen, P, van Steenbergen, LN, Prentice, HA, Adie, S, Sayers, A, Whitehouse, MR, Paxton, EW, Costa, ML, Overgaard, S, Rogmark, C, Rolfson, O, Harris, IA

“…</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>After pooling of complete Kaplan-Meier survival data from all six registries, the cumulative percent revision for conventional THA was 4.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.2% to 4.5%) and 4.7% (95% CI 4.3% to 5.3%) for dual-mobility THA at 5 years. We did not demonstrate a lower risk of all-cause revision for patients receiving dual-mobility over conventional THA designs for hip fracture in the meta-analysis once between-registry differences were adjusted for (HR 0.96 [95% CI 0.86 to 1.06]). …”

In2Se3-based two-dimensional photocatalysts for water-splitting by Wong, CCY

“…<p>Photocatalytic water splitting has been a burgeoning field of study due to its potential to change the world’s fossil-based energy structure; however, an ideal photocatalyst has yet to be identified despite years of research. Recent research has revealed that indium selenide (In₂Se₃) carries great potential in being a promising photocatalytic water splitting catalyst due to its unique intrinsic ferroelectricity, suitability of band structure and ability to be exfoliated into two-dimensional (2D) sheets. …”
