Article Synopsis
- The study examines the relationship between residency application data and the subsequent performance of surgical graduates, focusing on traits like surgical judgment, leadership, and medical knowledge.
- Despite evaluating 258 graduates and various factors such as USMLE scores and clerkship honors, the findings reveal only weak associations with overall performance ratings.
- Ultimately, the research concludes that the analyzed preresidency variables do not effectively predict residency graduate performance, suggesting a disconnect between application data and actual performance in residency.
Background: To minimise the referral gap to pain psychology, the purpose of this study was to describe clinician-perceived patient suitability for pain psychology referral, develop a referral plan and outline essential elements of a referral conversation via a modified Delphi approach with multidisciplinary paediatric pain providers.
Methods: We employed a three-round modified Delphi approach consulting multidisciplinary paediatric pain providers (n=18) including physicians, psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and nurse practitioners (PT, OT, NP). Based on the responses to an online survey (Round 1), initial statements regarding the pain psychology referral process were developed.
Objectives: The aims of the study are to explore the range and variation in serum estradiol concentration, and to estimate the prevalence of "poor absorption" (women using licensed estradiol doses with subtherapeutic levels), in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women using transdermal estradiol in the real world.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis in a specialist menopause clinic in the UK.
Results: Serum samples were obtained from 1,508 perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
Article Synopsis
- - Antibiotic prophylaxis is usually suggested for people closely connected to someone with serious Streptococcus pyogenes infections.
- - Research using MarketScan data from 2010-2019 showed no difference in infection rates between those who took antibiotics and those who didn't.
- - However, individuals who did receive antibiotics faced a threefold higher risk of experiencing adverse events.
Article Synopsis
- Congenital ocular anomalies (COA) are a leading cause of visual impairment in children in high-income countries, and this study aimed to evaluate their prevalence in European registries.
- Data from 19 EUROmediCAT registries and one healthcare database revealed a prevalence of COA at 3.47 cases per 10,000 births, with congenital lens anomalies being the most common type.
- The findings suggest the need for better screening and early diagnosis of COA, highlighting the importance of large-scale epidemiological studies for understanding these conditions.
