Objective: To determine whether a musculoskeletal curriculum involving gamification via Kahoot! (an online classroom response system) was acceptable and more effective at teaching pediatric residents musculoskeletal knowledge and skills than a nongamified curriculum.
Methods: A prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted at an urban, academic pediatric clinic. All participants received a curriculum that included brief didactics and knowledge questions. The knowledge questions were delivered via Kahoot! to the intervention group and administered via paper to the control group. The primary outcome was knowledge and skill acquisition following curriculum participation.
Results: A total of 73 of 85 (86%) residents completed the study (intervention group: 46; control group: 27). Following participation in the curriculum, intervention and control residents demonstrated an improvement in musculoskeletal knowledge (P < .05) measured via questionnaire, as well as an improvement in physical exam skills during a standardized patient encounter (P < .05). There was no difference in knowledge or skill improvement between groups. Intervention participants indicated positive attitudes toward Kahoot!.
Conclusions: Our musculoskeletal curriculum demonstrated improvements in knowledge and skills among residents, though inclusion of Kahoot! did not enhance the experimental effect. Further research is needed to identify strategies to optimize gamification for learning.

Purpose Of Review: Bone marrow adipose tissue is a distinctive fat depot located within the skeleton, with the potential to influence both local and systemic metabolic processes. Although significant strides have been made in understanding bone marrow adipose tissue over the past decade, many questions remain regarding their precise lineage and functional roles.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have highlighted bone marrow adipose tissue's involvement in continuous cross-talk with other organs and systems, exerting both endocrine and paracrine functions that play a crucial role in metabolic homeostasis, skeletal remodeling, hematopoiesis, and the progression of bone metastases.

: Cerebral palsy (CP) can have a negative impact on gross motor function. Conventional hippotherapy and horse-riding simulators (HRS) have shown promising results on gross motor function in populations with neurological disorders. This review aims to update the knowledge on the effectiveness of hippotherapy on gross motor function in children with CP.

Immunosuppression is one key feature of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that has high expectations for therapeutic use. The influence of pro-inflammatory stimuli can modify the characteristics of MSCs and enhance immunosuppressive properties. The local postoperative environment contains cytokines, MSCs, and immune cells in high quantities, and their mutual influence is still unclear.
