The design, implementation, evaluation, interpretation and report of research is a key important for the science. The research required minimize the uncertainty, therefore we encourage all authors of respect how much can possible the contents in this official editorial also in order to stimulate interest and debate about constructive change in the use of statistics in our disciplines 1,2 .

Introduction. Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a most common causes of failure of total knee arthroplasty. Knee spacers can be static or dynamic and are commonly used in the management of periprosthetic joint infection. Several types of spacers are available including rods, fixator rods, inverse spacers, handmade, molded, or preformed spacers with a cement-on-cement interface. This article provides a detailed review of knee spacers, their differences, and indications. Materials and methods. In February 2023, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar were accessed, with no time constraints. Discussion. Spacers can be static or dynamic. Static spacers do not allow any movement, and should be used in patients with joint instability, insufficiency of the knee extensor mechanism, massive bone loss, and impaired wound healing with skin loss. On the other hand, dynamic spacers allow flexion and extension of the knee. Conclusions. There is no evidence indicating the best choice when it comes to decide which articulating spacer to use.
Background. Difficulty with literacy acquisition is only one of the symptoms of developmental dyslexia. Dyslexic children also show poor motor coordination and postural control. Several studies have shown that dyslexic children and adults perform worse than non-dyslexic children in tasks that also involve postural control. Methods. In January 2022 the main online databases were accessed. All the articles that investigate possible concomitance between the developmental dyslexia with motor behavior disorders were considered. Results. The association between developmental dyslexia and motility disorders would deserve investigations on larger patient cohorts. The evidence of relationships between impaired motor behavior and dyslexia is inconclusive, partly because few studies have been undertaken and partly because tests and procedures differed between studies. Conclusions. If an association between motor behavior and dyslexia can be confirmed, tests of motor skills could be included as tools in screening batteries, thereby potentially improving diagnostic accuracy, optimizing the management of patients with this disease, and designing more effective physiotherapy programs. Such measures might also be used to identify prereaders at risk of developing dyslexia prior to the manifestation of any reading difficulties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
