Background: The predictors of erroneous publication reporting among orthopaedic surgery residency applicants have not been established.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the reported scholarly activity of candidates who applied to our orthopaedic surgery department for a first-year residency position in 2017 was conducted to determine the incidence of scientific publication misrepresentation and analyze its association with pre-residency criteria.
Results: Out of 510 candidates, 264 (51.8%) applicants included accepted, in-press, or published scholarly activity on their resumes. The incidence of misrepresentation was 20.5%, and did not differ statistically based on the candidates' academic performance (United States Medical Licensing Examination - USMLE - steps 1 and 2 scores), Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) membership, immigration status, or or additional academic degrees (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Misrepresentation is a persistent problem among residency training program applicants, and did not correlate with an applicant's academic performance, AOA membership, immigration status, or additional advanced academic degrees.

Transcriptomic Profiles in Nasal Epithelium and Asthma Endotypes in Youth.
JAMA
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Importance: T helper 2 (T2) cells and T helper 17 (T17) cells are CD4+ T cell subtypes involved in asthma. Characterizing asthma endotypes based on these cell types in diverse groups is important for developing effective therapies for youths with asthma.
Objective: To identify asthma endotypes in school-aged youths aged 6 to 20 years by examining the distribution and characteristics of transcriptomic profiles in nasal epithelium.
Identification and Analysis of Amino Acid Metabolism-Related Subtypes in Lung Adenocarcinoma.
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol
January 2025
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Guangxi Academy of Medical Sciences and the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
We aimed to explore the role of Amino acid metabolism (AAM) and identify biomarkers for prognosis management and treatment of lung adenocarcinoma. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with AAM in lung adenocarcinoma were selected from public databases. Samples were clustered into varying subtypes using ConsensusClusterPlus based on gene levels.

JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Office of Global and Population Health, Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Caries is the most common chronic childhood disease, with substantial health disparities.
Objective: To test whether parent-targeted oral health text (OHT) messages outperform child wellness text (CWT) messages on pediatric caries increment and oral health behaviors among underserved children attending pediatric well-child visits.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The parallel randomized clinical trial, Interactive Parent-Targeted Text Messaging in Pediatric Clinics to Reduce Caries Among Urban Children (iSmile), included participants who were recruited during pediatric medical clinic visits at 4 sites in Boston, Massachusetts, that serve low-income and racially and ethnically diverse (herein, underserved) populations.
Glutamatergic Medications for Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Center for OCD and Related Disorders, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Importance: Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs) encompass various neuropsychiatric conditions that cause significant distress and impair daily functioning. Although standard treatments are often effective, approximately 60% of patients may not respond adequately, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic approaches.
Objective: To evaluate improvement in OCRD symptoms associated with glutamatergic medications as monotherapy or as augmentation to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, with a focus on double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials (RCTs).
