Importance: Maternal tobacco use during pregnancy (MTDP) remains a major public health challenge. However, the complete spectrum of effects of MTDP is not fully understood.
Objectives: To examine the longitudinal associations of MTDP and children's brain morphometric subcortical volume and gray-white matter contrast (GWC) development.
Background: In reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, a humeral osteotomy is typically performed at the anatomic neck. The quality and quantity of cancellous and cortical bone impacts sizing of implants. Little-to-no information exists characterizing the transition of this bone quality at this location.

- A subgroup of patients with oligometastatic cancer may benefit from local treatment of all cancer lesions to achieve longer disease-free survival, especially when brain metastases are involved.
- An analysis of 7,000 PET scans identified 106 patients with both extracranial oligometastases and brain metastases, finding that brain involvement significantly impacted disease classification and treatment outcomes.
- Patients with oligometastasic disease had a median survival of 28 months compared to 10 months for polymetastatic patients, suggesting that brain metastases should not automatically exclude individuals from clinical trials.
