Ability for fine needle aspiration and frozen section to predict extent of parotidectomy.

Introduction: Several diagnostic modalities with various sensitivity and specificities can be used to evaluate a parotid mass. The aims of this project were to compare the diagnostic actionability, accuracy, and ability to accurately predict extent of surgery for FNA and frozen section during the evaluation of a parotid mass.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent parotidectomy for a parotid mass from January 1, 2015 to January 30, 2022 was conducted.

Roadmap for the exposé of radiation flows (Xflows) experiment on NIF.

The goal of the Xflows experimental campaign is to study the radiation flow on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) reproducing the sensitivity of the temperature (±8 eV, ±23 μm) and density (±11 mg/cc) measurements of the COAX platform [Johns et al., High Energy Density Phys. 39, 100939 (2021); Fryer et al.

The Missouri Physician and Health Professional Wellness Program: A Comprehensive Resource for Physician Wellness.

Burnout is just one of many ways that physicians unintentionally become impaired. This article reviews the relevant literature and issues facing physician wellness and presents information about the Missouri Physician and Health Professional Wellness Program sponsored by the Missouri Association of Osteopathic Physicians (MAOPS) and Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City, Missouri. Considerations for when to reach out in addition to information on some of the program's preventative services are provided.

The effect of strabismus on a young child's selection of a playmate.

Purpose: This study investigated the effect of strabismus on a child's playmate selection.

Methods: Photographs of orthotropic children aged 3-6 years were altered to simulate various magnitudes of strabismus. The pictures were arranged in pairs, one orthotropic child and one with strabismus.

The intraexaminer and interexaminer repeatability of the alternate cover test using different prism neutralization endpoints.

Purpose: The alternate cover test (ACT) measures the magnitude of a deviation, but different prism endpoints may be used. This study investigated the intraexaminer and interexaminer repeatability of the ACT using two different prism neutralization endpoints.

Methods: To determine repeatability of two prism neutralization endpoints (first neutral and midpoint of reversal), two experienced examiners measured near point phoria on 72 subjects.
