- Endoscopic carpal tunnel release (CTR) may be a viable alternative for treating recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome, as opposed to the traditional open revision method.
- A study examined 30 patients with a history of open or mini-open CTR, finding that 92% of those who had endoscopic revisions reported symptom improvement after 6 months.
- Intraoperative challenges were noted, especially in patients with previous open CTRs, leading to a 16% conversion rate to open release during procedures.
Children in rural communities consume more energy-dense foods relative to their urban peers. Identifying effective interventions for improving energy intake patterns are needed to address these geographic disparities. The primary aim of this study was to harness the benefits of physical activity on children's executive functioning to see if these improvements lead to acute changes in eating behaviors.

WBD is common in the workplace, yet no studies have evaluated a WBD intervention delivered in a worksite setting. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a 3-hour, remote-delivered WBD intervention at a large public university.

- Measuring children's dietary intake is challenging due to social desirability bias, where they may alter their behavior to be viewed more favorably.
- The study assessed 82 children to see if this bias influenced their calorie consumption during a lab meal, focusing on differences by food type and sex.
- Results showed that higher social desirability bias led to lower calorie intake from snacks for all children and from fruits and vegetables specifically for boys, indicating that social perceptions may affect eating habits.
Manganese (Mn) exists as Mn(II), Mn(III), or Mn(IV) in soils, and the Mn oxidation state controls the roles of Mn in numerous environmental processes. However, the variations of Mn oxidation states with climate remain unknown. We determined the Mn oxidation states in highly weathered bulk volcanic soils (primary minerals free) across two rainfall gradients covering mean annual precipitation (MAP) of 0.
