Development of a Brief, Positively Framed Care Team Experience Measure.

Background: Measures that quantify clinician fulfillment and engagement with work (clinician experience measures) have the potential to improve the quality, effectiveness, and enjoyment of patient care. Many existing measures of clinician fulfillment and engagement with work are relatively long and potentially burdensome, negatively framed, or address personal well-being. A measure with a small number of items that address positive attributes to which a team aspires may be a more useful measure to guide organizational improvement efforts.

Potential misinformation in websites on carpal tunnel syndrome.

Objective: We sought to evaluate the potential reinforcement of misconceptions in websites discussing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Methods: After removing all cookies to limit personalization, we entered "carpal tunnel syndrome" into five search engines and collected the first 50 results displayed for each search. For each of the 105 unique websites, we recorded publication date, author background, and number of views.

Efficient Generation of Pancreatic Progenitor Cells from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived from a Non-Invasive and Accessible Tissue Source-The Plucked Hair Follicle.

The advent of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has brought about transformative advancements in regenerative medicine, offering novel avenues for disease modeling, drug testing, and cell-based therapies. Patient-specific iPSC-based treatments hold the promise of mitigating immune rejection risks. However, the intricacies and costs of producing autologous therapies present commercial challenges.

Does lidocaine reduce pain intensity during corticosteroid injection? A double-blind randomized controlled equivalence trial.

Of the strategies considered to limit the discomfort of corticosteroid injection, one is to inject without lidocaine to reduce the total volume and avoid acidity. In a Bayesian trial, adults receiving corticosteroid injections were randomized to receive 0.5 mL of triamcinolone with or without 0.
