The use-the-best heuristic facilitates deception detection.

Decades of research have shown that people are poor at detecting deception. Understandably, people struggle with integrating the many putative cues to deception into an accurate veracity judgement. Heuristics simplify difficult decisions by ignoring most of the information and relying instead only on the most diagnostic cues.

Menopause, weight, and metabolic health - considerations for a patient centered, multidisciplinary approach.

Purpose Of Review: To examine the complexity of weight and metabolic changes during the menopausal transition and propose a multidisciplinary care approach to support long-term metabolic health.

Recent Findings: Menopause, weight and metabolic health changes are influenced by many interplaying factors, and therefore, require a multipronged, multidisciplinary patient centered approach. This approach should start with a medical history and examination.

Elevated sperm chromosome aneuploidy and apoptosis in patients with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss.

Objective: To evaluate sperm chromosome aneuploidy and semen quality in 24 partners of women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss and to analyze the data in relation to sperm apoptosis data.

Methods: Semen quality parameters and sperm chromosome aneuploidy for chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18, and 21 were evaluated in the recurrent pregnancy loss patients, fertile controls, and a control group of men from the general population.

Results: The mean aneuploidy rate in the recurrent pregnancy loss group was 2.

Guidelines for evaluation and management of five common podopediatric conditions.

Practice guidelines for five of the most common podopediatric deformities are presented. In establishing these diagnosis and management guidelines, the authors have reviewed an extensive body of literature and considered their experience as clinicians in one of the busiest settings for the evaluation and treatment of disorders of children's feet. No attempt has been made to be encyclopedic; rather, the authors emphasize practical visual descriptors and the rationale for treatment to demonstrate the value of early intervention in moderate-to-severe orthopedic pathology of the foot and leg.

Pediatric peroneal spastic flatfoot in the absence of coalition. A suggested protocol.

While most pediatric patients with peroneal spastic flatfoot demonstrate tarsal coalitions, not all do. The absence of coalition may present a diagnostic challenge and make appropriate treatment difficult. Past and present etiologic theories, diagnostic modalities, and treatments are outlined in this article.
