We study health effects of financial inclusion, particularly ownership of a checking account of older minorities, with focus on Hispanics. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study from 2000 to 2012, we find that, for Hispanics, being banked has a positive effect on mental health but is not associated with effects on physical health. Mental health benefits are likely to be larger for those who face greater hurdles to access formal financial institutions. Hispanics in less well-off neighborhoods and with below-median wealth appear to experience the greatest mental-health benefits associated with ownership of a checking account.

The Professional Identity of STEM Faculty as Instructors of Course-based Research Experiences.
Front Educ (Lausanne)
October 2024
Center for the Advancement of Science Leadership and Culture, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Chevy Chase, MD.
The professional identity of scientists has historically been cultivated to value research over teaching, which can undermine initiatives that aim to reform science education. Course-Based Research Experiences (CRE) and the inclusive Research and Education Communities (iREC) are two successful and impactful reform efforts that integrate research and teaching. The aim of this study is to explicate the professional identity of instructors who implement a CRE within an established iREC and to explore how this identity contributes to the success of these programs.

Division of Sports Medicine, Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Background: The microvasculature of the human meniscus has been previously described by Arnoczky and Warren. However, to date, the qualitative and quantitative extra-articular vascular anatomy of the medial meniscus has not been characterized.
Purposes: To perform a qualitative and quantitative anatomic study of the extra-articular medial meniscal vasculature and to introduce the novel "medial meniscal artery" (MMA), potentially providing future guidelines for the treatment of meniscal abnormalities.
The Relationship Between Exogenous Testosterone Use and Risk for Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture.

Article Synopsis
- Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) usage has significantly increased in the U.S., but there is limited information on its link to ligament injuries, particularly ACL injuries.
- This study aimed to determine the relationship between TRT and the occurrence of ACL injuries, along with the risk of ACL reconstruction failure, hypothesizing that TRT users would face higher risks for these injuries.
- Results showed that TRT patients had a greater likelihood of sustaining ACL tears within the first two years, but there was no significant difference in ACL reconstruction failure rates between TRT users and non-users over a five-year period.
