Background: The supraspinatus is most frequently involved in rotator cuff tears, a common orthopaedic condition. However, the architecture of this muscle has been described only for the superficial, anterior, and posterior regions.
Purpose: To determine the muscle architecture of the deep supraspinatus.
Article Synopsis
- Aquatic envenomations are frequent injuries along the U.S. coast, posing health risks, primarily affecting young males (≤30 years) during summer months, with 8517 cases reported from 2011 to 2020.
- * The study utilized data from the National Poison Data System, excluding non-relevant reports, to analyze trends in these injury cases, revealing that fish and Cnidaria were the most common sources.
- * Despite the high number of envenomations, there were no reported deaths, and 37% of cases required treatment in healthcare facilities, demonstrating the importance of poison control centers in monitoring and managing these incidents.*
One size does not fit all: Sex bias in pharmacologic venous thromboembolism prophylaxis.

Background: The optimal enoxaparin dosing strategy to achieve venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in trauma patients remains unclear. Current dosing guidelines often include weight, age, and renal function but still fail to achieve appropriate prophylactic anti-Xa levels in many patients. We hypothesized that additional patient factors influence anti-Xa response to enoxaparin in trauma patients.

The purpose of this study is to reduce patient morbidity associated with retained-hemothorax by defining readmission rates and identifying predictors of readmission after traumatic hemothorax.
Methods: The Nationwide Readmission Database for 2017 was queried for patients with an index admission for traumatic hemothorax during the first 9 mo of the year.
