Comparing Management Strategies for Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score of 4 (TLICS = 4) in the Pediatric Population: A Single-Institutional Experience.

Background: Thoracolumbar (TL) fractures are uncommon injuries in the pediatric population. Surgery is recommended for TL fractures with significant deformity, posterior ligamentous complex disruption, or neurological compromise. The Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Scale (TLICS) has been validated in pediatric populations and serves as a valuable tool for guiding treatment decisions.

Curriculum as Change Agent: Promoting Inclusivity through an Advanced Feedback Curriculum.

Feedback curricula in medical education typically cover only the uncontextualized basics of feedback. We created a self-paced, online course that covered advanced feedback techniques with intentional inclusion of social dynamics that can influence feedback processes. Results revealed significant improvements in participant feedback orientation, feedback-seeking behaviors, and perceptions of feedback environment.

Efficacy of modified natural cycle vs. hormone replacement therapy in oocyte donation for recipients of advanced maternal age: a retrospective study.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of modified natural cycle (mNC) preparation versus hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for endometrial preparation in recipients of donated oocytes, specifically focusing on pregnancy rates in women of advanced maternal age.

Methods: Retrospective multicenter analysis conducted between 2021 and 2024. It includes 220 cycles of fresh single blastocyst transfers resulting from oocyte donation.

Analyzing the Impact of Responding to Joint Attention on the User Perception of the Robot in Human-Robot Interaction.

The concept of joint attention holds significant importance in human interaction and is pivotal in establishing rapport, understanding, and effective communication. Within social robotics, enhancing user perception of the robot and promoting a sense of natural interaction with robots becomes a central element. In this sense, emulating human-centric qualities in social robots, such as joint attention, defined as the ability of two or more individuals to focus on a common event simultaneously, can increase their acceptability.
