Article Synopsis
- A 2-year-old girl developed a growing bruise-like mass in her eye socket months after an orbital injury, which was diagnosed through CT imaging as possible soft tissue contusion or hematoma.
- Surgical removal was performed, and lab tests revealed it was an orbital varix, showing CD34+ endothelium.
- This case is unique as it represents the first documented instance of posttraumatic orbital varix formation in children.
Article Synopsis
- Animal locomotion relies on coordination between the nervous system, sensory inputs, and muscle movements, making it an important area for understanding nervous system health and dysfunction.
- Tardigrades, the smallest known walking animals, serve as a model for studying limb-driven locomotion due to their simple nervous system and distinct movement patterns of their eight legs.
- Researchers developed open-source tracking tools to analyze over 13,000 strides from >100 tardigrades, revealing insights into walking speed, coordination, and how these factors relate to their aging, species differences, and responses to certain treatments like disulfiram.
Objective: The PNQIN (Perinatal-Neonatal Quality Improvement Network of Massachusetts) sought to adapt the Reduction of Peripartum Racial and Ethnic Disparities Conceptual Framework and Maternal Safety Consensus Bundle by selecting and defining measures to create a bundle to address maternal health inequities in Massachusetts. This study describes the process of developing consensus-based measures to implement the PNQIN Maternal Equity Bundle across Massachusetts hospitals participating in the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health Initiative.
Methods: Our team used a mixed-methods approach to create the PNQIN Maternal Equity Bundle through consensus including a literature review, expert interviews, and a modified Delphi process to compile, define, and select measures to drive maternal equity-focused action.
Background After identifying incidental mediastinal lymph nodes, decisions need to be made regarding the required follow-up imaging, the intervals at which this imaging should be performed, the types of imaging and procedures needed, and when to discontinue the follow-up. The purpose of this study is to determine the majority opinion on the management of these findings and provide recommendations for future management of incidental mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Methodology Sixty-two healthcare providers from a variety of specializations were surveyed on their preference for diagnostic workup and subsequent follow-up following the finding of incidental mediastinal lymphadenopathy on computed tomography (CT) of the chest.

This is a tactical solution to a tactical problem that is solved by the entire unit, not just by medics. When a casualty occurs, the unit must immediately respond as a team to extract, treat, and evacuate the casualty while simultaneously completing the tactical mission.
