Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed trends in demographics and management of radial head and neck fractures from 2017 to 2022, including over 103,000 patient cases.
- Findings revealed a higher incidence of these fractures in females, with an average patient age of 43, and emphasized nonoperative treatment as the preferred management option.
- While overall fracture incidence and management types have remained stable, an increase in radial head replacements is anticipated due to an aging population.
Telehealth in emergency medicine residency training: A model curriculum.
J Am Coll Emerg Physicians Open
December 2024
Emergency physicians are well-positioned to take a leadership role in telehealth, particularly in emerging categories such as triage, direct acute unscheduled care, and virtual observation. However, the growth of telehealth has outpaced curricular development in emergency medicine (EM) residency programs. This manuscript presents a model longitudinal telehealth curriculum, developed by the consensus of education experts, including representatives from the telehealth interest groups from EM's two primary specialty societies: the American College of Emergency Physicians and the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine.

- Type II SLAP lesions in the shoulder can be treated through arthroscopic repair or biceps tenodesis, but there's limited data on outcomes post-repair.
- The study aimed to determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID), Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) for patients who underwent arthroscopic repair for these lesions.
- Results showed that most patients experienced clinically significant improvements post-surgery, with the ASES score yielding the highest rates of SCB and factors like forward flexion positively impacting recovery outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study tests the hypothesis that delivering soluble allogeneic type I telocollagen would enhance tendon healing, based on its properties that help in integrating into damaged connective tissue with minimal immune response.
- Ninety-eight shoulders from Sprague-Dawley rats were surgically manipulated, with different treatments (saline, allo-telocollagen, or allo-atelocollagen) applied after tendon repair, and outcomes assessed at 30 and 60 days post-surgery through mechanical tests and histological analysis.
- Results showed that by 60 days, allo-telocollagen significantly improved the mechanical properties of the supraspinatus tendon compared to saline and allo-atelocollagen, showing better strength and
Introduction: In the 2023 National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) match, there were 554 unfilled emergency medicine (EM) positions before the Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP). We sought to describe features of EM programs that participated in the match and the association between select program characteristics and unfilled positions.
Methods: The primary outcome measures included the proportion of positions filled in relation to state and population density, hospital ownership type, and physician employment model.
