White coats, traditionally symbols of physicians' hygiene and professionalism, are now scrutinized for potential infection risks during patient interactions. This review investigates whether wearing white coats is linked to microbial contamination, infection transmission, and patient expectations. An umbrella review of peer-reviewed studies and guidelines was conducted, with searches in PubMed/Medline and Scopus using terms related to medical attire, infection control, patient perceptions, and discrimination.

- Mpox (Monkeypox) poses a contagion risk in surgical environments, especially in light of existing challenges from COVID-19, prompting a review of its impact on surgical practices.
- After analyzing various studies, key findings highlight the importance of understanding Mpox manifestations relevant to surgical procedures and the need for improved infection control measures, particularly during elective surgeries.
- Although Mpox hasn't drastically hindered surgical delivery like COVID-19, it's essential to educate surgeons about its potential to mimic other surgical conditions and integrate them into the diagnostic process to improve patient care and address stigma.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used special 3D technology to see differences in movement patterns, finding that kids with decreased femoral torsion tend to rotate their hips differently than typical kids during both walking and running.
- * The findings could help doctors understand these differences better, leading to better treatment choices for children with less femoral torsion.
