Context: Social determinants of health including insurance type, income, race, and ethnicity have been shown to influence the utilization of physical therapy and recovery after an orthopedic injury. The influence of social determinants of health on the utilization of physical therapy and recovery from concussion is not well understood.
Design: Prospective observational registry study in a specialty concussion program.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the use of ultrasound (US) imaging to evaluate the alignment of the extensor mechanism in the patellofemoral joint, comparing patients with and without patellar instability to establish reliability and validity of the measures.
- - Results show that patients with patellar instability have a significantly smaller distance between the midpoint of the patellar tendon and the lateral trochlear ridge, indicating a misalignment compared to healthy controls.
- - The interrater reliability of the ultrasound measurements was deemed good, indicating that this method could be a reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional MRI assessments for evaluating patellofemoral instability.
Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia that is fatal, and most treatments targeting amyloid beta have only limited success in slowing progression.
- Research into senescent cells (SC) and their harmful effects shows potential for new therapies, as treating aged monkeys with the senolytic drug navitoclax led to positive changes in biomarkers related to neuroinflammation and neuronal damage.
- Navitoclax was found to be safe and well tolerated in the study, suggesting its promise as a new therapeutic approach for addressing AD in humans.
