Article Synopsis
  • Softball is a widely played sport with high injury rates, particularly among females, making it a popular focus for injury research.
  • The study analyzed injury data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System between 2012 and 2021, revealing that 68.1% of upper extremity injuries were in female athletes, with significant age differences between genders.
  • Injury rates decreased overall during the decade, with fielding activities and player-ball contact being the most common causes of injuries among varied age groups.

Objectives: Hearing loss (HL) is one of the most common chronic health conditions in the United States (US). This study aims to evaluate trends in HL prevalence among US adults over the past two decades.

Methods: Audiometric data of adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018 were analyzed in 2-year intervals to evaluate changes in HL (defined as pure tone average greater than 25 dB in at least one ear) over time in using odds ratios (ORs).

Objectives: The effect of Medicaid expansion as a part of the Affordable Care Act on vestibular schwannoma (VS) incidence overall and in marginalized populations has not yet been elucidated. The goal of this study was to determine if Medicaid expansion was associated with increases in VS incidence overall, as well as in patients of non-white race or in counties of low socioeconomic status (SES).

Methods: We performed a difference-in-difference (DiD) analysis from January 1st 2010-December 31st 2017 utilizing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

A recently discovered human glycoprotein, chitinase 3-like 1 (Chi3L1), may play a role in inflammation, tissue remodeling, and visceral fat accumulation. We hypothesize that Chi3L1 gene expression is important in the development of hepatic insulin resistance characterized by the generation of pAKT, pGSK, and pERK in wild type and Chi3L1 knockout (KO) murine liver following insulin stimulation. The Chi3L1 gene and protein expression was evaluated by Real Time PCR and ELISA; lipid accumulation in hepatocytes was also assessed.
