Quinine is known for treating malaria, muscle cramps, and, more recently, has been used as an additive in tonic water due to its bitter taste.

- A study in France analyzed winter sports injuries in children under 15 from 1999 to 2022, focusing on those treated by general practitioners.
- Out of 108,619 injured patients, skiing was the most common cause, with wrist fractures being the leading injury type, especially among beginners.
- The findings suggest that while helmet use is growing, particularly among skiers, injury patterns differ based on sport and skill level, indicating a need for tailored safety measures.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of midurethral sling (MUS) surgery on sexual function over the medium term, comparing results pre- and post-op using a specific questionnaire.
- Conducted at a tertiary urogynecology center, it involved 118 patients who had MUS surgery and 128 volunteers without prior surgery, with a matched case-control approach based on age and menopausal status.
- Results indicated no significant differences in sexual discomfort or function between patients and controls; however, a higher percentage of patients reported a sensation of vaginal obstruction, but overall, the surgery did not appear to negatively affect sexual quality of life.
Introduction: Gender bias has been reported by women surgeons, but its impact on communication in the operating room (OR) is unclear. OR communication is critical to understand, as it directly impacts patient outcomes. The current study evaluates potential gender bias in the type and quality of communication between surgeons and OR nursing and anesthesia providers.
