Injuries of the foot are common among both elite and recreational runners. Overuse accounts for most of these injuries. Plantar fasciitis and tendinopathies of the midfoot and forefoot have a high incidence in running athletes. These injuries may present with significant pain but often resolve with rest and rehabilitation. Bone injuries caused by overuse also have a high prevalence among runners. The metatarsals, tarsal navicular, and sesamoids are most at risk for stress damage. Most running injuries are self-limited and pose little detriment if diagnosis is delayed. Navicular and sesamoid stress fractures may impart significant long-term consequences, and thus, a clinical suspicion of either fracture warrants definitive diagnosis and treatment. Barefoot running recently has garnered increased attention, but currently, there is a lack of prospective studies regarding its injury reduction.

Comparison of Pediatric and Adult Firearm Deaths to Inform Violence Prevention at Pediatric Trauma Centers.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston, Galveston, Texas. Electronic address:
Introduction: Hospital-based violence intervention programs primarily target adults, raising questions about the effectiveness in preventing pediatric firearm deaths. We hypothesized that pediatric and adult firearm injury deaths are different enough to require unique intervention strategies.
Methods: Retrospective chart review was conducted of medical examiner and trauma center records of firearm-related deaths in the largest metropolitan county in Texas.
Is Intracranial Pressure Monitoring After Open Cranial Procedures Associated With Outcome?
J Surg Res
January 2025
Division of Trauma and Critical Care, Department of Surgery, Reading Hospital, West Reading, Pennsylvania. Electronic address:
Introduction: It is unclear if intracranial pressure monitoring (ICPM) after open cranial procedures (craniotomy or craniectomy) (OC) for traumatic brain injury is associated with mortality. We hypothesized that ICPM placed early after OC was associated with lower mortality compared to no ICPM or delayed ICPM placement.
Methods: Using 2020-2021 data from the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program, patients ≥16 y from level 1 and 2 trauma centers who underwent OC were divided into two groups: ICPM placed within 72 h of OC (early) and no ICPM or ICPM placed after 72 h (none/delayed).
Disparities in Rehabilitation Services for Victims of Violence.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Boston Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts; Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts.
Introduction: Access to rehabilitation services after a traumatic injury improves functional outcomes. No study has examined the association between injury intent, violent versus nonviolent, and receipt of rehabilitation services after injury.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of injured adult patients admitted to our level I trauma center from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2021.

Burns
January 2025
Department of Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Islamic Azad University, Kazerun, Iran.
The psychological impact of pediatric burn injuries is profound, often resulting in elevated levels of anxiety for both children and their mothers. This quasi-experimental study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of a resilience training program aimed at reducing anxiety among mothers and their hospitalized children with burn injuries at a burn hospital in Shiraz, Iran. Fifty-six eligible mothers were initially selected through purposive sampling and assigned to either the experimental or control group in a 1:1 ratio through random assignment.

Clin Orthop Relat Res
January 2025
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Brooke Army Medical Center, JBSA Fort Sam Houston, TX, USA.
Background: A number of efforts have been made to tailor behavioral healthcare treatments to the variable needs of patients with low back pain (LBP). The most common approach involves the STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST) to triage the need for psychologically informed care, which explores concerns about pain and addresses unhelpful beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Such beliefs that pain always signifies injury or tissue damage and that exercise should be avoided have been implied as psychosocial mediators of chronic pain and can impede recovery.
