Transforming Ableism in Physical Therapist Education One Student at a Time: A Case Report of a Student with Blindness.

Objective: The prevalence of students with disabilities in physical therapist education programs in the United States is <1%. This case report explored the experiences surrounding a specific, unique individual student with blindness or visual impairment (BVI) within the context of an entry-level physical therapist program. The purpose was not merely to describe 1 student's journey but to capture the complex dynamics and shifts in perceptions of students, faculty, staff, and clinicians.

Improved survival with elevated BMI following immune checkpoint inhibition across various solid tumor cancer types.

Introduction/background: Obesity is a well-known risk factor for various cancers, yet emerging research demonstrates its association with improved survival outcomes in cancer treatment, labeled as "the obesity paradox." Studies investigating the clinical benefits of obesity across various cancer types after immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) are limited.

Methods: Data were queried from the TriNetX database to identify patients with solid tumor malignancies of various organ systems (pulmonary/intrathoracic, cutaneous, head and neck, gastrointestinal, breast, genitourinary) who received ICI between 2012 and 2024.

Innovative Approaches to Mental Health Education: Standardized Patients and Tag Team Simulation.

Background: Nursing students often feel unprepared to care for patients with psychiatric diagnoses and alcohol use disorder (AUD), leading to low confidence, with fear and stigma impacting care. Simulation offers a way to build these skills.

Purpose: This project assessed the effectiveness of standardized patients and tag team simulation in increasing nursing students' exposure and confidence managing mental healthcare and AUD.

Verdiperstat in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Results From the Randomized HEALEY ALS Platform Trial.

Importance: Myeloperoxidase is one of the most abundant peroxidase enzymes in activated myeloid cells. Myeloperoxidase inhibitors may have a clinical benefit in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by slowing neurodegeneration via reduced neuroinflammation and oxidative stress.

Objective: To determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of verdiperstat, a selective myeloperoxidase inhibitor, in ALS.

Outcomes and Complications of 2-Stage Versus 3-Stage Paramedian Forehead Flaps.

Objective: This study aims to explore outcomes among 2-stage paramedian forehead flaps (PFFs), 3-stage PFFs, and PFFs undergoing accelerated pedicle takedown.

Study Design: A retrospective review.

Setting: A tertiary care institution.
