Article Synopsis
- The study aims to develop a patient-reported outcome and decision support system for postpartum patients to identify when to seek medical care based on their symptoms, considering various demographic factors.
- A total of 446 postpartum participants were surveyed across four demographic groups, focusing on their interest in using the application and how they prefer to report symptoms.
- Results showed significant disparities between groups, with Black participants less interested in using the app and preferring less frequent reporting, while Spanish-speaking Hispanic participants favored direct calls to professionals for urgent signs, highlighting the importance of tailoring tools to different demographic needs.
Purpose: Depending on its axis, pronation varies from the radius rotation around the steady ulna to the reciprocal adduction of the radius and abduction of the ulna. While there is no question that pronator teres is a central pronation agonist, anconeus's role is not settled. The current investigation comparing palpation and ultrasonography in these two muscles during pronation along the axis capitulum-second digit evolved from a serendipitous finding in a clinical anatomy seminar.

- The rise in pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S., particularly for Black patients, highlights a gap in support for recognizing and addressing severe postpartum symptoms due to bias within healthcare systems.
- There is a need for a mobile health (mHealth) solution that empowers Black patients to assess when to seek care for these symptoms and could also help other underrepresented groups.
- Interviews with healthcare professionals and postpartum Black patients identified essential inputs for symptom monitoring and design needs for a supportive decision-making system, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered care.
Background: Forearm intersection syndrome causes pain, swelling, and a rub at the dorsal distal forearm where the first extensor compartment muscles intersect with the second compartment tendons. Although primary care settings tend to treat mild cases, high-performance athletes may suffer from severe symptoms that require surgery. This proof-of-concept study aims to help detect the anatomical substrate of forearm intersection syndrome using palpation and ultrasonography when available.
