Nutraceuticals and Headache 2024: Riboflavin, Coenzyme Q10, Feverfew, Magnesium, Melatonin, and Butterbur.

Nutraceuticals are not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration, so a careful literature review is essential to make clinical decisions. Riboflavin or vitamin B2 can be recommended for migraine prevention in adults, but pediatric use is not proven. Adverse events are minimal.

Surgeon perspectives on a virtual reality platform for preoperative planning in complex bone sarcomas.

Background And Objectives: Treatment of primary bone and soft tissue sarcomas typically includes complete surgical resection with or without adjunctive modalities. Despite best efforts, for the most challenging clinical scenarios such as axial or pelvic sarcoma, five-year survival rates are reported to be between 27 and 40 %. Since quality of resection is a key determinant of oncologic outcomes, it is critical to preoperatively plan the surgical approach to improve resection accuracy, ensure sufficient surgical margins, and reduce the risk of local or metastatic recurrence.

The minority-groups homogeneity effect: Seeing members of different minority groups as more similar to each other than members of the majority.

The widely documented "outgroup homogeneity effect" refers to people's tendency to view members of groups to which they do not belong (outgroups) as more similar to one another than members of their own groups (ingroups). Here, we present evidence for a novel but related phenomenon: People tend to view members of different minority groups as collectively more similar to one another than members of the majority group are to one another. Across nine studies (and four studies reported in the Supplemental Materials), we demonstrate a robust "minority-groups homogeneity effect" among participants from both majority groups (Studies 1-5) and minority groups (Studies 6-8), albeit less consistently among the latter.
