This case report presents the story of Mr. S, a professional orchestral musician with declining musical sight-reading ability, followed by progressive visuospatial and language deficits. Our novel musical assessment battery revealed deficits in music-reading (musical alexia) and music-writing (musical agraphia), with spared auditory perception and expression.

Our field has demonstrated noticeable gaps in racial, ethnic, and gender diversity, which inhibit our ability to innovate and combat the severe socioeconomic burden of musculoskeletal disorders. Towards this goal, we designed, implemented, and evaluated Learning on a Limb (LoaL), an orthopaedic research outreach module to teach URM high school students about orthopaedic research.

To identify so-far unseen or understudied threats and opportunities related to climate change we applied a horizon-scanning process. First, we collated 171 threats and opportunities across our diverse fields of research.

- - Sepsis is a severe immune reaction to infection that can lead to organ failure, and while current diagnostic methods exist, there's a need for quicker and more precise tests to improve survival rates.
- - Researchers developed a 3D-printed microfluidic chip designed to capture specific sepsis cells in blood samples using antibodies CD69, CD64, and CD25, validating its effectiveness with clinical samples from 125 septic patients and 10 healthy individuals.
- - The chip showed significant differences in antigen cell counts between healthy volunteers and septic patients, with a high diagnostic accuracy (AUC values exceeding 0.988 for individual markers and 0.997 for a combined panel), and offered results within 4 hours, much faster
Orthopaedic researchers need new strategies for engaging diverse students. Our field has demonstrated noticeable gaps in racial, ethnic, and gender diversity, which inhibit our ability to innovate and combat the severe socioeconomic burden of musculoskeletal disorders. Towards this goal, we designed, implemented, and evaluated Learning on a Limb, an orthopaedic research outreach module to teach diverse high school students about orthopaedic research.
