Pathoetiology of Levator Ani Syndrome and Its Treatment With Translumbosacral Neuromodulation Therapy.

Introduction: The pathoetiology and treatment of levator ani syndrome (LAS) remain unclear.

Methods: We evaluated pathophysiology using translumbosacral motor-evoked potentials and anorectal manometry in patients with LAS and compared with healthy controls. A cohort underwent translumbosacral neuromodulation therapy (TNT).

A Randomized Controlled Trial of A Theory-Based Concussion Education Video for NCAA Division I Athletes.

A large body of research demonstrates that concussions are exceedingly common and extremely difficult to detect. Despite medical efforts to develop sophisticated tools to detect concussions, research continues to demonstrate that proper detection relies on prompt and thorough symptom reporting from the injured athlete. In the context of sports, such reporting requirements are complicated by systems that reward athletic performance.

Effectiveness of a microabrasion technique using 16% HCL with manual application on fluorotic teeth: A series of studies.

Background: Dental fluorosis is caused by excessive fluoride ingestion during tooth formation. As a consequence, there is a higher porosity on the enamel surface, which causes an opaque look.

Aim: The aim of this study was to identify a dental intervention to improve the smile in patients with tooth fluorosis.

Training the Anesthesiologist Trainer: Enhancing the Quality of Feedback during Human Patient Simulations.

An essential piece of anesthesiologist training is attending resident feedback sessions. Yet, few attending anesthesiologists have formal teaching education and little time to acquire it. In this field experiment, attending physicians were randomly assigned to a control group or to receive 30 minutes of feedback training inspired by Implicit Person Theory (IPT).
