Publication and Career Trends of Ruth Jackson Orthopaedic Society Grant Winners Over the Past Decade.

Background: The Ruth Jackson Orthopaedic Society awards the Jacquelin Perry, MD Resident Research Grant and RJOS/Zimmer Biomet Clinical/Basic Science Research Grant to female orthopedic surgeons, intending to aid women in the progression and completion of their orthopedic research and bolster their pursuit or current career in academic orthopedic surgery. The impact of these grants has not yet been studied. The purpose of this study is to determine the percentage of scholarship/grant-winners who went on to publish the findings of their research, pursue academic positions, and currently hold positions of leadership in the field of orthopedic surgery.

Intimate Partner Violence in the Orthopaedic Patient Population: What Surgeons Need to Know.

»: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is under-reported and pervasive in the orthopaedic surgical setting.

»: Screening programs that could increase reporting and assist in treatment and prevention are commonly underutilized.

»: There is little formalized education during orthopaedic surgery training for IPV.

The Association Between the Classification of Early-onset Scoliosis and Smith Complications After Initiation of Growth-friendly Spine Surgery: A Preliminary Study.

Background: Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is a complex, heterogeneous condition involving multiple etiologies, genetic associations, and treatment plans. In 2014, Williams and colleagues proposed a classification system of EOS (C-EOS) that categorizes patients by etiology, Cobb angle, and kyphosis. Shortly after, Smith and colleagues validated a classification system to report complications of growth-friendly spine instrumentation.

Novel role of sorting nexin 5 in renal D(1) dopamine receptor trafficking and function: implications for hypertension.

The D1 dopamine receptor (D1R) is widely expressed in the kidney and plays a crucial role in blood pressure regulation. Although much is known about D1R desensitization, especially through G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 4 (GRK4), comparatively little is known about other aspects of D1R trafficking and the proteins involved in the process. We now report the discovery of a dynamic interaction between sorting nexin 5 (SNX5), a component of the mammalian retromer, and D1R in human renal epithelial cells.
