Optimizing orthobiologic therapies with exercise, diet, and supplements.

Orthobiologic injections including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and cell-based injections are becoming increasingly popular. Evidence suggests that these therapies can be effective in certain situations. The efficacy of these injections may be more dependent on the quality of the injectate, which given their autologous nature, may be dependent on lifestyle choices like exercise, diet, and supplements.

Correlation of scapular Dyskinesia and hand grip strength in students with smartphone addiction pursuing a bachelor's degree in healthcare profession education.

Background: Hand grip strength is a critical indicator of upper extremity function, especially important in healthcare professions. Effective upper extremity function relies on proximal stability from the scapula and distal mobility from hand actions. This study aimed to examine the relationship between scapular dyskinesia and hand grip strength in healthcare students with smartphone addiction.

Investigating proteogenomic divergence in patient-derived xenograft models of ovarian cancer.

Within ovarian cancer research, patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models recapitulate histologic features and genomic aberrations found in original tumors. However, conflicting data from published studies have demonstrated significant transcriptional differences between PDXs and original tumors, challenging the fidelity of these models. We employed a quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach coupled with generation of patient-specific databases using RNA-seq data to investigate the proteogenomic landscape of serially-passaged PDX models established from two patients with distinct subtypes of ovarian cancer.

Effective remote clinical teaching: leveraging technology to improve Radiology Case readouts.

The shift to remote learning in medical education is rapidly evolving and likely permanent. The recent increase in remote radiology staffing presents challenges for both educators and trainees. However, many of the barriers to teaching can be overcome by technology.

Tobacco Use, Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, and Vulnerable Populations: Current Landscape and Opportunities for Improvement.

The tobacco epidemic has claimed countless lives, caused significant morbidity, and cost billions of dollars in direct costs and lost productivity. Despite its acute vascular effects, nicotine alone has not been definitively linked to cardiovascular events. Rather, additives found in cigarettes and other tobacco products likely play a bigger role in tobacco's link to cardiovascular events.
