Classification Systems in Müller-Weiss Disease: The Northern Irish Experience.

Maceira and Rochera's 2004 classification of Müller-Weiss disease hinges solely on Méary's angle. Although it describes pathomechanics well, it serves as a guide to neither treatment nor prognosis. The grouping system proposed by Wong-Chung et al. (Wong) in 2023 takes into account age of onset, previous evidence of a radiologically normal navicular, which joints are affected, the dorsoplantar talo-first metatarsal angle, and Méary's angle. It directs arthrodesis surgery toward the joints involved. A combination of the Maceira stages and Wong groups may provide a universally acceptable classifi…

Rapid and accurate taxonomic classification of cpn60 amplicon sequence variants.

The "universal target" region of the gene encoding the 60 kDa chaperonin protein (cpn60, also known as groEL or hsp60) is a proven sequence barcode for bacteria and a useful target for marker gene amplicon-based studies of complex microbial communities. To date, identification of cpn60 sequence variants from microbiome studies has been accomplished by alignment of queries to a reference database. Naïve Bayesian classifiers offer an alternative identification method that provides variable rank classification and shorter analysis times. We curated a set of cpn60 barcode sequences to train the RD…
