Evaluation of the academic achievements of clinician health services research scientists involved in "pre-K" career development award programs.

Introduction: Research career development awards (CDAs) facilitate development of clinician-scientists. This study compared the academic achievements of individuals in a structured institutional "pre-K" CDA program, the Mayo Clinic Kern Scholars program, with individuals who applied for but were not admitted to the Kern program ("Kern applicants"), and awardees of other unstructured internal CDAs.

Methods: This was a longitudinal cohort study of clinicians engaged in research at Mayo Clinic between 2010 and 2019.

Onset, progression, and plateau of skeletal lesions in fibrous dysplasia and the relationship to functional outcome.

Unlabelled: Most lesions in FD and their attendant functional disability occur within the first decade; 90% of lesions are present by 15 years, and the median age when assistive devices are needed is 7 years. These findings have implications for prognosis and determining the timing and type of therapy.

Introduction: Fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD) is an uncommon skeletal disorder in which normal bone is replaced by abnormal fibro-osseous tissue.
