This journal issue reviews insights into human microbial communities from Drosophila microbiota, evaluates acupuncture for idiopathic chronic pelvic pain, and reports on optimizing surgical techniques for conditions ranging from birthmarks to radial head fractures.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

This issue of the Biomedical Journal includes two reviews discussing how studying the gut of the humble fruit fly can reveal important insight about our own microbial communities. In addition, we focus on work showing that acupuncture may not be the best treatment for idiopathic chronic pelvic pain. Finally, we report on several studies that will hopefully help to optimize surgical techniques, from laser treatment for birthmarks to the design of prostheses for radial head fractures.
