Introduction: Better characterizing moyamoya disease (MMD) from ischemic strokes of other etiologies may facilitate earlier diagnosis by raising suspicion for a diagnostic work-up.
Methods: To identify associated variables, MMD cases (n = 12) were compared against three sets of controls: age-, sex-, and race-matched controls of patients with general neurological disorders (n = 48), unmatched general controls (n = 48), and unmatched non-MMD ischemic stroke controls (n = 48).
Results: MMD patients were 32 years (p < 0.
Article Synopsis
- The study emphasizes the importance of understanding vaccine hesitancy to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19, particularly in high-risk groups such as minorities and individuals with neurological disorders.
- A survey conducted at a neuroscience institute in Hawaii revealed that 81.3% of patients were willing to get vaccinated, with specific factors like younger age, lower health concerns, and negative views on COVID-19 severity linked to hesitancy.
- Key predictors of vaccine hesitancy included reliance on social media for COVID-19 information, safety concerns about vaccines, and educational background, allowing the clinic to offer targeted education to those most at risk for hesitancy.
Psychological distress leading to burnout is an important issue during medical school. While studies have researched interventions in the pre-clerkship years, very few have targeted the clerkship years. To improve the wellness of third year medical students, the following interventions were implemented: (1) prompted students to identify two wellness goals in the areas of personal and physical well-being and (2) encouraged students to participate in meditation and chair yoga sessions during their pediatrics clerkship.
