The physiological stress response of juvenile nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum) to catch-and-release recreational angling.

Nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum), especially juveniles, are often encountered by near-shore and shore-based recreational anglers and are suggested to exhibit minimal behavioral and physiological responses to capture, largely based on studies of adults using commercial or scientific fishing methods. To quantify the sub-lethal effects of recreational angling on juvenile nurse sharks, 27 individuals (across 31 angling events) were caught using hook-and-line fishing methods. Over a 30-min period, 4 blood samples were taken with variable time intervals between sampling (i.

Ultrasound as a Diagnostic Modality in Hand and Wrist Musculoskeletal Pathologies: A Narrative Review.

Background: Musculoskeletal ultrasonography of the hand and wrist is becoming the trend in assessing and diagnosing most hand and wrist injuries, soft-tissue mass, and occult fractures. Its advantages include ultra-high frequency probes, noninvasiveness, cost-effectiveness, lack of ionising radiation, and portability. The patients are comfortable doing this procedure in the outpatient department, and visualising the ultrasound images increases their confidence.

Caregivers' Views of a Pediatric Inpatient Intervention to Address Health-Related Social Risks.

Objective: To understand the experiences of parents and caregivers of hospitalized children with CommunityRx-Hunger, a social care intervention designed to address food insecurity and other health-related social risks (HRSRs). Perspectives on how clinicians can sensitively deliver information about HRSRs in the pediatric inpatient setting were also elicited.

Methods: In-depth, semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted (April 2022 through April 2023) with caregivers of children hospitalized at an urban academic medical center.

Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma of Tendon Sheath in the Index Finger of a 70-Year-Old Patient-A Case Report.

Unlabelled: Fibrous histiocytoma (FH) within the finger, particularly involving the flexor tendon sheath, is a rare entity. While cutaneous fibrous histiocytomas have been documented in the fingers, their occurrence around the flexor sheath presents a unique diagnostic challenge, often resembling giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS). We report a case of benign fibrous histiocytoma involving the tendon sheath in the index finger of a 70-year-old patient and discuss its clinical presentation, differential diagnoses, histopathological features, and management.

Schwannoma in the Thenar Eminence: a Case Report.

This report describes a rare presentation of schwannoma in the thenar aspect of a surgeon and reviews the literature. A 35-year-old surgeon had a slow-growing swelling in his left thenar eminence. Clinical and radiological findings suggested it was a well-encapsulated mass within the abductor pollicis brevis muscle.
