Article Synopsis
- Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders are a major cause of disability in high-income countries like the US, with limited comprehensive studies addressing their impact; this research utilizes Global Burden of Disease data from 1990 to 2019 to assess the situation.
- The study found a significant increase in the burden of MSK disorders over the years, particularly highlighting low back pain as the most prevalent condition along with rising disability-adjusted life years (DALY) rates, especially among women and in certain states.
- Key risk factors include smoking, high body mass index (BMI), and occupational hazards, emphasizing the need for targeted health interventions and public health strategies that consider geographic and gender-specific disparities.
Article Synopsis
- Generalization helps us apply past experiences to new situations, and the infralimbic (IL) area in the brain is important for this process, although how it works is still not fully understood.
- In an experiment with mice, it was found that manipulating the IL's activity affected their defensive behaviors in response to ambiguous threats: silencing the IL increased generalized freezing, while stimulating it encouraged more vigilant behavior.
- Additionally, researchers identified specific groups of neurons (ensembles) in the IL that were linked to these generalized responses, revealing that these neuronal ensembles help control the degree of generalization when facing uncertain dangers.
Background: Due to the virtual format of fellowship applications, prospective physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) sports medicine fellowship applicants commonly rely upon fellowship website content to make decisions about applications. Studies have shown that information available to fellowship applicants on program websites is inadequate, and there is no standard for important components of sports medicine fellowship websites.
Objective: To determine what sports medicine fellowship program features PM&R residents, fellows, and attending physicians consider the most important to be listed on fellowship websites, as well as to assess the scope of information available on fellowship websites.
Introduction: Vertical root fractures (VRFs) typically have a poor prognosis with an extraction or occasionally root amputation as the preferred treatment. VRFs have been considered an epidemic, motivating changes in the access openings, as well as in the preparation and disinfection protocols of endodontic treatment. Hence, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of VRFs by tracking cases in both a University Endodontic Program (UEP) and a private endodontics practice (PP).
