Electrode Location and Domain-Specific Cognitive Change Following Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease.

Background And Objectives: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) motor symptoms. DBS is also associated with postoperative cognitive change in some patients. Previous studies found associations between medial active electrode contacts and overall cognitive decline.

Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome in Young Autistic Children, Children with ADHD, and Autistic Children with ADHD.

Objective: Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS; previously called Sluggish Cognitive Tempo) refers to a constellation of cognitive and motor behaviors characterized by a predisposition toward mind wandering (cognitive subdomain) and slowed motor behavior (hypoactive). While there are a number of studies linking CDS traits to greater global impairment in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autistic children, there are few studies examining the prevalence and impact of CDS traits in autistic children with co-occurring ADHD (Autistic+ADHD). The current study explored CDS traits in autistic children with and without co-occurring ADHD, children with ADHD, and neurotypical children.

The association between motor and non-motor symptoms in essential tremor patients being evaluated for deep brain stimulation surgery.

Background: Non-motor symptoms, including depression and cognitive impairment, are common in essential tremor (ET), but associations between these symptoms and tremor are poorly understood.

Methods: A retrospective, single-institution, cohort study evaluated 140 patients with ET undergoing evaluation for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The Fahn-Tolosa-Marin (FTM) or Washington Heights-Inwood Genetic Study of ET (WHIGET) scale was used to grade tremor.

Corticostriatal beta oscillation changes associated with cognitive function in Parkinson's disease.

Cognitive impairment is the most frequent non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease and is associated with deficits in a number of cognitive functions including working memory. However, the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease cognitive impairment is poorly understood. Beta oscillations have previously been shown to play an important role in cognitive functions including working memory encoding.

Teachers' practices during COVID-19: Practices and perspectives in elementary and secondary settings.

COVID-19 affected modes of instruction and instructional processes across K to 12 classrooms. The purpose of this study was to examine K-12 teaching practices in one large district during COVID-19 and whether there were differences in overall practices, affect, and confidence, and regarding remote teaching between elementary and secondary teachers. Further, their professional development experiences were examined and their evaluation of those.

Developing Predictor Models of Postoperative Verbal Fluency After Deep Brain Stimulation Using Preoperative Neuropsychological Assessment.

Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson disease provides significant improvement of motor symptoms but can also produce neurocognitive side effects. A decline in verbal fluency (VF) is among the most frequently reported side effects. Preoperative factors that could predict VF decline have yet to be identified.

Rural Trauma Team Development Course Instills Confidence in Critical Access Hospitals.

Purpose: The American College of Surgeons' Rural Trauma Team Development Course (RTTDC) was designed to help rural hospitals optimize a team approach to trauma management recognizing the need for early transfer. Little literature exists on the success of RTTDC achieving its objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of RTTDC on rural trauma team members.

Rapid Reversal of Novel Anticoagulant and Antiplatelet Medications in General Surgery Emergencies.

The reversal of the new class of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) is challenging in the emergent perioperative setting. This summary focuses on the reversal of NOACs, determining the emergent nature (risk analysis), and other considerations in reversal.

The role of computed tomographic scan in ongoing triage of operative hepatic trauma: A Western Trauma Association multicenter retrospective study.

Background: A subset of patients explored for abdominal injury have persistent hepatic bleeding on postoperative computed tomography (CT) and/or angiography, either not identified or not manageable at initial laparotomy. To identify patients at risk for ongoing hemorrhage and guide triage to angiography, we investigated the relationship of early postoperative CT scan with outcomes in operative hepatic trauma.

Methods: This is a retrospective review of 528 patients with hepatic injury taken to laparotomy without imaging within 6 hours of arrival to six trauma centers from 2007 to 2013, coordinated through the Western Trauma Association multicenter trials group.

Characterization of sex dimorphism following severe thermal injury.

Sex-based outcome differences have been previously studied after thermal injury, with a higher risk of mortality being demonstrated in women. This is opposite to what has been found after traumatic injury. Little is known about the mechanisms and time course of these sex outcome differences after burn injury.

Radiographic assessment of ground-level falls in elderly patients: Is the "PAN-SCAN" overdoing it?

Introduction: Routine, whole-body computed tomography imaging (PAN-SCAN) has been shown to identify unexpected injuries and alter the management of patients presenting with blunt trauma. We sought to characterize the changes in practice over time and the utility of PAN-SCAN imaging in elderly patients who fall and require admission to a trauma center.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis by using data derived from a Pennsylvania state-wide trauma registry (2007-2010).

Gender differences in academic entitlement among college students.

Researchers have labeled today's college students as perceiving themselves to be more entitled than ever before (J. M. Twenge, 2006).

Improved outcome of adult blunt splenic injury: a cohort analysis.

Background: The purpose of this study was to review our 15-year experience in the treatment of blunt splenic injury in adults. Our hypothesis was that the implementation of a change in practice, with stress on splenic preservation and splenic artery embolization for the management of splenic injury, would result in improved splenic salvage rates without negatively affecting mortality rates.

Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was performed on all consecutive adults with blunt splenic injury who were admitted to a Level One Trauma Center.
