Article Synopsis
- * A narrative review evaluated the effectiveness of these products for conditions such as Achilles tendinopathy and nerve repairs, with pre-clinical studies showing encouraging results.
- * The increasing availability of amniotic-derived biologics in orthopedic practice offers potential benefits, but more research is needed to understand long-term effects and any possible complications.
Purpose: To systematically review the effectiveness and validity of orthopaedic surgery training using simulation technologies including augmented reality, virtual reality, and/or mixed reality within arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
Methods: A literature search was conducted of the EMBASE and PubMed databases from inception to January 2024 per the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Included studies described arthroscopic shoulder surgery simulation training among orthopaedic surgery trainees.
Introduction: In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has seen substantial progress in its utilization, with Chat Generated Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is emerging as a popular language model. The purpose of this study was to test the accuracy and reliability of ChatGPT's responses to frequently asked questions (FAQ) pertaining to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
Methods: The ten most common FAQs were queried from institution patient education websites.
Article Synopsis
- Orthopedic surgeons are seeking advanced degrees to improve their qualifications and the study aims to explore how these degrees influence their academic careers, particularly in shoulder and elbow specialties.
- A total of 893 surgeons were studied, with 129 possessing advanced degrees, primarily Master of Science, Master of Business Administration, and Doctor of Philosophy, mostly obtained before medical school.
- Surgeons with advanced degrees showed significantly higher research productivity, measured by a higher h-index, more citations, and a greater number of publications compared to their peers without additional degrees.
Purpose: To systematically review the patient-reported outcomes and postoperative complications following tuberoplasty for the treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed and EMBASE computerized databases from database inception to June 2023 in accordance with the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Included studies evaluated clinical outcomes, postoperative complications, and reoperation rates following tuberoplasty for the treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Cough Correlates of Functional Swallow Outcomes in Atypical Parkinsonism.

Article Synopsis
- Swallowing and cough impairments can lead to serious issues, particularly in patients with atypical Parkinsonism (APD), and understanding this connection could improve treatment strategies for airway protection.
- In a study of 11 participants with APD, it was found that many experienced swallowing difficulties, which correlated with decreased cough effectiveness, as indicated by abnormal scores on the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS).
- The results suggest that as swallowing safety declines, the ability to clear airways through coughing also diminishes, especially in patients with longer disease durations, emphasizing the need for comprehensive assessment of both functions in treatment planning.
