Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the presence of rare germline variants in DNA damage response (DDR) genes among lung cancer patients and healthy controls, focusing on non-Hispanic Whites and African Americans.
- Researchers analyzed data from 3,040 participants and found that lung cancer cases had a higher occurrence of these pathogenic variants compared to controls, particularly among those with adenocarcinoma.
- The findings suggest that specific DDR gene variants are linked to lung cancer risk, especially in never smokers and those not qualifying for current screening guidelines, indicating the need for further research in these groups.
Purpose: While it is common practice for schools across the United States to include neurodivergent children in physical education classes, many programs outside of school-such as those at home or in the community-are not effectively tailored to meet their support needs. This gap contributes to lower levels of physical activity among neurodivergent children. Our objective was to address this issue by systematically adapting the program to enable neurodivergent children to safely engage in physical activity at home.

Various metrics (linear and nonlinear) have been employed to quantify force control. The aims of this review were to synthesize evidence assessing knee extensor and flexor force control after ACL injury (ACLD) or reconstruction (ACLR) and to investigate the potential effects of injury management (e.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes associated with syndesmotic-only fixation in the treatment of Maisonneuve fractures involving the middle third of the fibula.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 257 cases of syndesmotic ankle instability with associated fibular fractures at a level 1 trauma center between 2013 and 2023.
Treatment of Extreme Central Venous Occlusive Disease With Massive Esophageal Bleeding.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
June 2024
Central venous occlusions are common in the population of dialysis patients and develop as a result of arteriovenous access. Whereas these patients most commonly present with edema and varicosities, a rare presentation is esophageal varices. Here we present the case of a young man with life-threatening esophageal hemorrhage as a result of central venous occlusions, successfully treated with an azygos vein to right atrial bypass.
