Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Rotator cuff injuries are the most common form of injury to the shoulder. In the case of large and massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears, the gold standard treatment is a partial or maximal repair. Despite short-term pain relief and improved function, however, re-tear rates following maximal repair can range from 50 to 90 percent. That makes it important to explore alternative treatment approaches. In a new study reported in the_ American Journal of Sports of Medicine_, researchers compared maximal repair to maximal with bridging interpositional dermal allograft in patients with massive rotator cuff tears. Maximal repair recreates the rotator cable much like a suspension bridge to regain rotator cuff function. Bridging interpositional allograft, on the other hand, uses tissue grafts to bridge bone to tendon. Thirty patients with massive, retracted, and irreparable rotator cuff tears were randomly allocated to receive either procedure..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
