Hearing rehabilitation of adults with auditory processing disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis of current evidence-based interventions.

Background: For adults with auditory processing disorder (APD), listening and communicating can be difficult, potentially leading to social isolation, depression, employment difficulties and certainly reducing the quality of life. Despite existing practice guidelines suggesting treatments, the efficacy of these interventions remains uncertain due to a lack of comprehensive reviews. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to establish current evidence on the effectiveness of interventions for APD in adults, addressing the urgent need for clarity in the field.

Advances, challenges, and future directions in the clinical translation of ECM biomaterials for regenerative medicine applications.

Extracellular Matrix (ECM) scaffolds and biomaterials have been widely used for decades across a variety of diverse clinical applications and have been implanted in millions of patients worldwide. ECM-based biomaterials have been especially successful in soft tissue repair applications but their utility in other clinical applications such as for regeneration of bone or neural tissue is less well understood. The beneficial healing outcome with the use of ECM biomaterials is the result of their biocompatibility, their biophysical properties and their ability to modify cell behavior after injury.

Enhanced recovery after surgery improves clinical outcomes in adolescent bariatric surgery.

Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are evidence-based, multimodal approaches to optimize patient recovery and minimize complications.

Objectives: Our team evaluated clinical outcomes following the implementation of an ERAS protocol for adolescents undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery.

Setting: Academic hospital, New York, NY, USA.

Extended Post Discharge Prophylaxis for Venous Thromboembolism Prevention After Bariatric Surgery.

Purpose: The utility of routine post-discharge VTE prophylaxis after bariatric surgery remains a matter of debate. While inpatient chemical prophylaxis decreases the risk of fatal pulmonary embolism, most thromboembolic events occur after discharge and carry high morbidity and mortality. To address this risk, apixaban was introduced as extended prophylaxis for 30 days after surgery.

Reduced drug use as an alternative valid outcome in individuals with stimulant use disorders: Findings from 13 multisite randomized clinical trials.

Background And Aims: Total abstinence has historically been the goal of treatment for substance use disorders; however, there is a growing recognition of the health benefits associated with reduced use as a harm reduction measure in stimulant use disorders treatment. We aimed to assess the validity of reduced stimulant use as an outcome measure in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of pharmacological interventions for stimulant use disorder.

Design: We conducted a secondary analysis of a pooled dataset of 13 RCTs.

Ten tips for developing a more inviting syllabus.

In higher education, syllabi have traditionally served as written contracts between instructors and their students, providing first-hand information about the course and expectations. Reading the syllabus may provide students with first impressions or mental images of the instructor, thereby initiating a student-instructor relationship even before any interaction has occurred. Instructors can use syllabi to directly communicate values and practices of equity and inclusion, but students can perceive indirect messages through tone and language that may support or contradict stated values.

An Open Operative Readiness Standard for Surgical Trainees.

Introduction: The American Board of Surgery is transitioning from a volume-based to a competency-based assessment of residents using Entrustable Professional Activities. This form of feedback and evaluation should also apply to operative procedures to help residents track their own progress. We describe an operative readiness tool that measures perceived competency in trainees across several operative, procedural, and clinical activities.

Attitudes Toward Surgical Innovation Research in the Pediatric Surgery Fellowship Match.

Introduction: Pediatric surgery applicants are increasingly pursuing research in non-traditional fields including surgical innovation. This study aims to evaluate the relative value that pediatric surgeons involved in fellow selection place on innovation experience compared to traditional research.

Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey of American Pediatric Surgical Association members involved in the selection of pediatric surgical fellows was conducted.

Adequacy of Children's Psychopharmacology Services: Variations by Race and Clinical Characteristics.

Objective: An expert consensus approach was used to determine the adequacy of children's psychopharmacology and to examine whether adequacy varied by demographic or clinical characteristics.

Methods: Data were from the baseline interview of 601 children, ages 6-12 years, who had visited one of nine outpatient mental health clinics and participated in the Longitudinal Assessment of Manic Symptoms study. Children and parents were interviewed with the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia and the Service Assessment for Children and Adolescents to assess the child's psychiatric symptoms and lifetime mental health services use, respectively.

Biocompatibility and biodistribution of matrix-bound nanovesicles in vitro and in vivo.

Matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBV) are a distinct subtype of extracellular vesicles that are firmly embedded within biomaterials composed of extracellular matrix (ECM). MBV both store and transport a diverse, tissue specific portfolio of signaling molecules including proteins, miRNAs, and bioactive lipids. MBV function as a key mediator in ECM-mediated control of the local tissue microenvironment.

Prenatal Antidepressant Exposures and Autism Spectrum Disorder or Traits: A Retrospective, Multi-Cohort Study.

Prenatal antidepressant exposure has been associated with increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study utilized multi-cohort data from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program (N = 3129) to test for this association, and determine whether the association remained after adjusting for maternal prenatal depression and other potential confounders. Antidepressants and a subset of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) were examined in relation to binary (e.

Gestational diabetes mellitus, prenatal maternal depression, and risk for postpartum depression: an Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Study.

Background: Prior research has demonstrated bidirectional associations between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and perinatal maternal depression. However, the association between GDM, prenatal depression, and postpartum depression (PPD) has not been examined in a prospective cohort longitudinally.

Methods: Participants in the current analysis included 5,822 women from the National Institutes of Health's Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Research Program: N = 4,606 with Neither GDM nor Prenatal Maternal Depression (Reference Category); N = 416 with GDM only; N = 689 with Prenatal Maternal Depression only; and N = 111 with Comorbid GDM and Prenatal Maternal Depression.

3D Bioprinted Patient-Specific Extracellular Matrix Scaffolds for Soft Tissue Defects.

Soft tissue injuries such as volumetric muscle loss (VML) are often too large to heal normally on their own, resulting in scar formation and functional deficits. Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) scaffolds placed into these wounds have shown the ability to modulate the immune response and drive constructive healing. This provides a potential solution for functional tissue regeneration, however, these acellular dECM scaffolds are challenging to fabricate into complex geometries.

Transcriptomic, Proteomic, and Morphologic Characterization of Healing in Volumetric Muscle Loss.

Skeletal muscle has a robust, inherent ability to regenerate in response to injury from acute to chronic. In severe trauma, however, complete regeneration is not possible, resulting in a permanent loss of skeletal muscle tissue referred to as volumetric muscle loss (VML). There are few consistently reliable therapeutic or surgical options to address VML.

The role of mood disorders in the progression of and recovery from alcohol and drug use problems: A latent transition analysis.

Introduction: Longitudinal research assessing whether mood disorders predict substance use behaviors is limited. We extend our prior work evaluating transition patterns with alcohol use to assess patterns with alcohol and drug use problems.

Method: Using National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions prospective data, waves 1 and 2, we completed latent class analyses to empirically define classes of alcohol and drug problems from DSM disorder criteria.

Outcomes of internal biliary diversion using cholecystocolostomy for patients with severe Alagille syndrome.

Alagille syndrome (AGS) is a disorder that leads to increased serum cholesterol and bile acids, which can result in debilitating xanthomas and pruritus. External biliary drainage and transplantation are effective treatments for AGS. Internal biliary diversion with Roux-en-Y cholecystocolostomy has been described for other biliary conditions, but not AGS.

Pediatric hand ultrasound: common indications, injury, inflammation and masses.

Ultrasound is a uniquely valuable tool for evaluating musculoskeletal problems in the pediatric hand. Acute and chronic injuries involving tendons and ligaments of the hand can be quickly assessed and can guide surgical decision-making. Using ultrasound, palpable lesions and masses can be evaluated for cystic and solid components aiding in differential diagnosis.
