- Mindfulness interventions can enhance various patient outcomes, but traditional methods are often lengthy and resource-heavy.
- Recent studies suggest that shorter mindfulness sessions can be effective and easily integrated into medical settings without causing major disruptions.
- Three pilot randomized controlled trials showed that brief audio recordings of mindfulness significantly reduced pain intensity in clinic waiting rooms, as well as lower anxiety symptoms, with implications for improving patient care.

Simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures are a rare occurrence commonly associated with a traumatic event or systemic disease. A 31-year-old man presented with simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures with associated hyperparathyroidism secondary to parathyroid carcinoma.

Two cases of stress fractures of the ischium have been previously described in the literature, with both occurring in the ischial body. In this case, a 17-year-old high school American football player presented with nonspecific pelvic pain and bilateral point tenderness on deep palpation of the ischial tuberosities.

Methods: Student-athletes between the ages of 13 and 18 that presented to the sports medicine clinic within Day 3-7 post-SRC and from local schools were recruited for a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The participants were administered the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS), King-Devick (K-D), and Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) before and after the intervention.
