Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Repair for Recurrent Patellar Instability: Successful Outcomes Among Patients With Low Coronal Malalignment and Normal Patellar Height.

Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) repair is discouraged for the treatment of chronic, recurrent patellar instability (RPI) because of high reported failure rates. However, the senior author uses MPFL repair for chronic RPI in the setting of low tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance. In this retrospective case series, we report results and evaluate outcome predictors.

Features of primary care practice influence emergency care-seeking behaviors by caregivers of persons with dementia: A multiple-perspective qualitative study.

Background: Persons with dementia use emergency department services at rates greater than other older adults. Despite risks associated with emergency department use, persons with dementia and their caregivers often seek emergency services to address needs and symptoms that could be managed within primary care settings. As emergency departments (EDs) are typically sub-optimal environments for addressing dementia-related health issues, facilitating effective primary care provision is critical to reduce the need for, or decision to seek, emergency services.

Promoting Antimicrobial Stewardship by Incorporating it in Undergraduate Medical Education Curricula.

Background: Education related to antimicrobial stewardship-the judicious use of antimicrobials-is essential to stem the rising tide of resistance.

Methods: Using a scoping review method that includes a consultation component, we explored the extent to which antimicrobial stewardship is incorporated in undergraduate medical education.

Results: We found 4 studies evaluating stewardship content in undergraduate medical school curricula along with 2 studies assessing the effectiveness of specific stewardship training programs in medical education.

Factors Influencing Emergency Care by Persons With Dementia: Stakeholder Perceptions and Unmet Needs.

Background/objectives: People with dementia (PwD) frequently use emergency care services. To mitigate the disproportionately high rate of emergency care use by PwD, an understanding of contributing factors driving reliance on emergency care services and identification of feasible alternatives are needed. This study aimed to identify clinician, caregiver, and service providers' views and experiences of unmet needs leading to emergency care use among community-dwelling PwD and alternative ways of addressing these needs.

Dissection and lateral mounting of zebrafish embryos: analysis of spinal cord development.

The zebrafish spinal cord is an effective investigative model for nervous system research for several reasons. First, genetic, transgenic and gene knockdown approaches can be utilized to examine the molecular mechanisms underlying nervous system development. Second, large clutches of developmentally synchronized embryos provide large experimental sample sizes.
