Lyme disease (LD) surveillance yields useful information to monitor the disease trends and spatial distribution. However, due to several factors, the Manitoba Health surveillance system, as with other systems, could be subject to underreporting. To estimate the number and incidence of clinician-diagnosed LD over the study period in Manitoba, describe the epidemiology of clinician-diagnosed LD, and compare the findings with Manitoba Health LD surveillance data during the same period to estimate the extent of underreporting.

Background: The integration of artificial intelligence into medicine has attracted increasing attention in recent years. ChatGPT has emerged as a promising tool for delivering evidence-based recommendations in various clinical domains. However, the application of ChatGPT to physical therapy for musculoskeletal conditions has yet to be investigated.

Objectives: We aim to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith Dissection Endovascular System (ZDES; Zenith TX2 Dissection Endovascular Graft with Pro-Form and Zenith Dissection Endovascular Stent), which uses a proximal stent graft along with a distal bare metal stent compared to traditional stent grafts in the repair of acute, complicated Type B Aortic Dissection (AcTBAD).
Methods: This retrospective study reviews the medical charts of 32 patients with AcTBAD repaired at a single urban academic medical center. 16 of these AcTBAD cases were repaired with the ZDES (87.

Background: Blood shortages and utilization stewardship have motivated the trauma community to evaluate futility cutoffs during massive transfusions (MTs). Recent single-center studies have confirmed meaningful survival in ultra-MT (≥20 U) and super-MT (≥50 U), while others advocate for earlier futility cut points. We sought to evaluate whether transfusion volume and intensity cut points could predict 100% mortality in a multicenter analysis.

Unlabelled: Inherited Bone Marrow Failure syndromes account for approximately 25% of cases of aplastic anemia in pediatric patients. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have allowed the diagnosis of an increasing number of hereditary causes of bone marrow failure.
Objective: To determine the diagnostic yield and clinical concordance of NGS in the diagnosis of a cohort of pediatric patients with bone marrow failure.
