Sexual and Gender Minority University Students Report Distress Due to Discriminatory Health Care Policies.

"Religious conscience" or "healthcare denial" policies allow healthcare providers and institutions to refuse to provide services in the name of religious freedom. Denial policies are a form of structural stigma that could impede access to healthcare for sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations, particularly SGM young adults. This study describes SGM university students' response to policies permitting healthcare providers to deny care based on their religious beliefs.

A Morphologic Analysis of Thumb Ulnar Collateral Ligament Avulsion Fracture Fragments and Risk Factors for Surgical Treatment.

Background: There is debate regarding nonoperative versus surgical treatment of thumb ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears with avulsion fractures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the fragment size in relation to the UCL footprint size in patients with an avulsion fracture injury and to find risk factors associated with surgical treatment.

Methods: In a cohort of avulsion fracture injury patients, the largest side of the fragment was divided by the average reported UCL footprint size (ff-ratio), and a logistic regression was performed to find variables associated with surgery.

Injection drug use is associated with repeat irrigation and debridement in native joint septic arthritis.

Background And Objective: Septic arthritis is an orthopaedic emergency that requires prompt irrigation and debridement (I&D). Some patients require a repeat I&D, which poses excessive burden on the patient and provider. The goal of this study was to identify possible risk factors for repeat I&D in the setting of native septic arthritis.

The Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance of Digital Mental Health Interventions for College Students: A Systematic Review.
