Importance: Previous research suggests that a greater capacity of health care organizations to address patients' health-related social needs (HRSNs) is associated with lower physician burnout. However, individual physician-level engagement in addressing HRSNs has not been fully characterized, and its association with physician burnout remains understudied.
Objective: To characterize physicians' engagement in addressing HRSNs and examine its association with burnout.
Background: Shoulder fractures (proximal humerus fractures) are common, painful, debilitating injuries. Recovery is a long process often hindered by complications such as mal-union and frozen shoulder. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences and information needs of people at different time points after a shoulder fracture and how views on recovery change over time.

Therefore, they are promising targets for studying how spinal oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) respond to injuries and neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis. Taking advantage of the temporally controlled and cell-specific genetic downregulation of GABA receptors from OPCs, our investigation addresses their specific influence on OPC behavior in the gray and white matter of the mouse spinal cord.

- The study aimed to identify risk factors for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) by interviewing mothers of first-grade children, both with FASD diagnoses and controls.
- Results revealed significant differences in alcohol consumption patterns between mothers of children with FASD and control mothers, with those with FASD generally consuming more alcohol before and during pregnancy.
- The analysis highlighted maternal factors such as alcohol intake, liver issues, depression, and late prenatal care as key risk indicators for FASD, with less influence from paternal alcohol consumption once maternal drinking was accounted for.
Article Synopsis
- * It typically occurs in males and is characterized by extra-nodal masses, often found in the oral cavity or gastrointestinal tract, but a unique case involved a 93-year-old female without HIV showing pericardial effusion instead.
- * Diagnosis of PBL can be challenging due to atypical presentations; thus, awareness, thorough immunohistochemistry, and clinical correlation are critical for accurate identification.
