Article Synopsis
- EEG is crucial for diagnosing and managing neurologic issues like seizures and brain injuries in veterans, prompting a study on the infrastructure of EEG services within the Veterans Administration (VA).
- A survey sent to 123 VA hospitals revealed that while most had EEG services, only a minority offered continuous EEG, and many facilities reported a lack of adequate resources such as EEG technologists and machines.
- The study indicates significant variability in EEG infrastructure and highlights that expanding tele-EEG services could improve access and patient management in resource-limited environments.
Shoulder balloon spacer for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears results in significant improvements.

August 2024
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of balloon implantation in patients with irreparable supraspinatus tears alone or in combination with other rotator cuff (RC) tendon tears and the effect of several covariables, such as age, gender, status of the long head biceps, with or without tendon repair and regardless the number of tendon involved.
Methods: Patients enrolled from 'San Carlo' Hospital of Potenza (Italy, IT), from January 2012 to September 2014, underwent arthroscopic implantation of shoulder balloon by a single surgeon, and followed for 3 years. The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) and Constant score (CS) were administered pre-, post-operatively at 12 months, and then annually.
Article Synopsis
- * A total of 55 patients were included, and significant improvements were noted in shoulder pain and function scores from preoperative assessments to follow-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery.
- * No adverse effects occurred during the study, indicating that LHBT augmentation may be a safe and effective strategy for managing MRCTs in motivated patients.
Introduction: Rotator cuff tears (RCT) are a common cause of shoulder pain and disability, with massive RCT accounting for 10-40% of all rotator cuff tears.
Sources Of Data: A systematic search of PubMed and Scopus electronic databases was performed up to August 2022, and a total of 17 scientific articles were included in the present PRISMA compliant systematic review.
Areas Of Agreement: Understanding the geometric patterns in RCT is essential to achieve appropriate repositioning of the injured tendons in their anatomic location.
The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role of psychological distress on the associations between two forms of harassment, military sexual trauma (MST) and sexual orientation-based discrimination (SOBD), and alcohol use in a sample of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) military personnel. Data were analyzed from 254 LGB military service members in the United States. Bivariate associations were examined between MST, SOBD, anxiety and depression, distress in response to stressful military events, and alcohol use.
