A Deep Learning Tool for Minimum Joint Space Width Calculation on Anteroposterior Knee Radiographs.

J Arthroplasty

January 2025

Orthopedic Surgery Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA; Mayo Clinic Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. Electronic address:

Background: Minimum joint space width (mJSW) is an important continuous quantitative metric of osteoarthritis progression in the knee. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated measurement algorithm for mJSW in the medial and lateral compartments of the knee that can flexibly handle native knees as well as knees after arthroplasty.

Methods: We developed an end-to-end algorithm consisting of a deep learning segmentation model plus a computer vision algorithm to measure mJSW in the medial and lateral compartments of the knee.

J Physician Assist Educ

January 2025

Kaley Romero, PA-C, Metrolina Nephrology Associates, Charlotte, North Carolina.

Introduction: Burnout is prevalent among both physician assistant (PA) students and faculty in the United States. Theories concerning the root cause of this burnout include a breakdown of community, which, in this context, serves as a framework comprising membership, influence, integration and fulfilment of needs, and shared emotional connection. A community framework has yet to be formally applied to the PA learning environment.

Tonya C. George, PhD, MSHS, MSPH, PA-C, DFAAP, is a assistant professor, Doctor of Medical Science Program, School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia.

Neurodiversity, encompassing conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and dyslexia, represents a significant and often under-recognized segment of the population, including within science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine fields like medicine. Neurodiverse individuals possess unique skills, including enhanced creativity, analytical thinking, and meticulous attention to detail, which are valuable in health care professions. However, failure to recognize and support these individuals can result in missed opportunities, social isolation, and mental health challenges.
