Background: The complexity of sarcoma surgery often justifies surgical assistants of higher levels of academic training: senior residents, fellows, or co-surgeons. The association between the level of training of assistants and outcomes of these procedures has yet to be studied.
Methods: The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes comprising the "core" procedures for musculoskeletal oncology fellowships were gathered.
Article Synopsis
- Depression leads to both mental and physical health issues, significantly impacting quality of life, yet its underlying biology is not fully understood, and current medical treatments are lacking.
- p-Coumaric acid (p-CA), a natural compound with various health benefits, was tested for its ability to alleviate depressive symptoms caused by inflammatory triggers in animal models.
- The study found that p-CA improved behaviors associated with despair, reduced inflammatory markers in the brain, and helped maintain important neurotrophic factors, suggesting its potential as a preventive and therapeutic option for depression.
