Tendinitis Around the Wrist and Hand.

Tendinopathies around the hand and wrist are common. Most are diagnosed easily with a thorough history and clinical examination. Common conditions involving the hand and wrist include trigger finger, de Quervain tenosynovitis, intersection syndrome, third and fourth extensor compartment tenosynovitis, extensor carpi ulnaris tendinitis, and flexor carpi radialis tendinitis.

Case Reports in Education: A Virtual Orthopaedic Surgery Summit Enhances Medical Student Confidence in Preparedness for Orthopaedic Surgery Subinternships.

Introduction: Medical school curricula offer limited exposure to orthopaedic surgery, and few national initiatives aim to prepare students for orthopaedic surgery subinternships, which are critical for success in matching into orthopaedic residency. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of a single-day virtual "Subinternship Summit" for medical students in 2 key areas: 1) enhancing participants' confidence in their preparedness for orthopaedic subinternship rotations and 2) mitigating any disparities based on student characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, gender, or whether or not the student's school is affiliated with a "home" orthopaedic program.

Methods: In March 2024, a single-day national virtual summit was held, featuring panels on topics relevant to performance during orthopaedic subinternships.

Expanding the Pipeline: Exposure and Female Mentorship Increase Interest in Orthopaedic Surgery Among Female Premedical Undergraduate Students.

Introduction: Orthopaedic surgery has the greatest degree of gender disparity among all medical specialties, presenting a little-explored opportunity to recruit women into orthopaedics early in the pipeline, particularly as undergraduate students. This study aimed to characterize the opinions of female premedical students regarding orthopaedic surgery as well as to assess the effectiveness of a virtual intervention in increasing interest in or improving attitudes toward the field.

Methods: In this prospective study, recruitment emails were sent to premedical advisors, who then circulated a survey that solicited responses from female-identifying premedical students.

Lambda carrageenan displays antiviral activity against the infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) by inhibiting viral replication and enhancing innate immunity in salmonid cells.

Sulfated polysaccharide lambda carrageenan (λ-CGN) was evaluated for its antiviral effect against IPNV using the in vitro infection model of CHSE-214 salmonid cells. A plaque reduction lysis assay revealed that λ-CGN has an IC of 0.9 μg⋅mL, CC > 128 μg⋅mL and a Selectivity Index (SI) > 142.

Impact of Program Characteristics on Diversity Representation in Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Websites.

Objectives: To examine how residency program characteristics, including program type, city population, region, program director/chair sex and ethnicity, and program size, influence the representation of diversity elements on orthopaedic surgery residency program websites.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Orthopaedic surgery residency programs in the United States.
