Fracture-dislocation of proximal humerus in a young child: A case report.

Introduction: Proximal humerus Salter-Harris type II fractures combined with ipsilateral shoulder dislocation in children are extremely rare injuries. Therefore, the best prescribed treatment has not yet been established.

Case Presentation: A case of a 3-year-old boy who sustained an epiphyseal separation of the right proximal humerus (Salter-Harris type II) and an ipsilateral anterior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint following a road traffic accident.

Clinician Awareness of Patient-Reported Health-Related Social Needs: There's Room for Improvement.

Introduction: People experiencing health-related social needs (HRSNs), such as transportation insecurity, are less likely to undergo preventive health screenings. They are more likely to have worse health outcomes overall, including a higher rate of late-stage cancer diagnoses. If primary care clinicians are aware of HRSNs, they can tailor preventive care, including cancer screening approaches.

Factors in COVID-19 vaccine uptake in five racial/ethnic Colorado communities: A report from the Colorado CEAL project.

Purpose: To understand motivators, concerns, and factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine initiation for adults in five racial/ethnic communities across Colorado.

Methods: Community-based data collectors surveyed participants from five Colorado communities (urban and rural Latina/o/x, urban Black, rural African American immigrant, and urban American Indian) about vaccine attitudes, intentions, and uptake from September to December 2021. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine factors associated with the primary outcome of COVID-19 vaccine "initiation.

Development of a finite element full spine model with active muscles for quantitatively analyzing sarcopenia effects on lumbar load.

Background And Objective: The musculoskeletal imbalance caused by disease is one of the most critical factors leading to spinal injuries, like sarcopenia. However, the effects of musculoskeletal imbalances on the spine are difficult to quantitatively investigate. Thus, a complete finite element spinal model was established to analyze the effects of musculoskeletal imbalance, especially concerning sarcopenia.

Using Administrative Billing Codes to Identify Acute Musculoskeletal Infections in Children.

Background And Objectives: Acute hematogenous musculoskeletal infections (MSKI) are medical emergencies with the potential for life-altering complications in afflicted children. Leveraging administrative data to study pediatric MSKI is difficult as many infections are chronic, nonhematogenous, or occur in children with significant comorbidities. The objective of this study was to validate a case-finding algorithm to accurately identify children hospitalized with acute hematogenous MSKI using administrative billing codes.
