Virtual Reality as Active Distraction in Laceration Repair: A Game Changer?
Pediatr Emerg Care
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters/Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, VA.
Objectives: We conducted an unblinded, randomized control trial to determine if immersive virtual reality (VR) goggles decrease pain and fear scores in children undergoing laceration repair in the pediatric emergency department (PED) compared to the standard of care. Secondary outcomes included duration of procedure, physical holding, anxiolytic usage, and desire to use VR goggles again.
Methods: Ninety-one patients aged 6-17 years in a PED with simple lacerations sutured by PED staff completed surveys.

Imaging characteristics of hip joint microinstability: a case-control study of hip arthroscopy patients.
Skeletal Radiol
October 2024
Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on hip microinstability, a condition that's tough to diagnose due to a lack of clear criteria, and aims to evaluate the prevalence and accuracy of various imaging findings using X-rays and MRIs.
- Researchers compared imaging results from 224 hips (112 with microinstability and 112 without) that had undergone arthroscopic surgery, assessing different morphological features that might indicate microinstability.
- Four significant predictors for microinstability were identified: labral hyperplasia and a decreased lateral center edge angle on MRI, along with the absence of specific signs on X-rays; however, many other imaging parameters previously thought to be related were not actually associated with the condition.
Impact of incidental dural tears on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.
Spine J
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The University of Tokyo, 113-0033, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Incidental dural tears (DTs) during cervical spine surgery are a serious concern, yet their effects on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) one year post-surgery are not well understood.
- The study investigated patients who had elective cervical spine surgeries, examining pre- and postoperative PROs in relation to the occurrence of DTs, identifying complications and differences between patients with and without DTs.
- Results showed that out of 2,704 patients, 3.6% had DTs, leading to higher rates of complications and more severe neck and pain outcomes in those affected compared to those without DTs.

Background: The heart of childhood nurtures an array of immature emotions. Through this rollercoaster of childhood emotions, from tears to laughter, it is the sole responsibility of a pediatric dentist to help the children navigate through their emotions with their empathetic actions. Whenever a child is anxious or fearful in the dental chair, the child may put forth his emotion through crying or taking up a flight response.
