AI Article Synopsis

  • Medical schools often neglect musculoskeletal (MSK) education, resulting in students feeling less confident and performing poorly in orthopaedic surgery electives.* -
  • Many students lack formal training in MSK medicine, forcing them to seek knowledge from external resources.* -
  • The text proposes a framework for accessing various educational resources and emphasizes the need for more centralized introductory materials in MSK education.*

Article Abstract

Musculoskeletal (MSK) education is underemphasized in medical school curricula, which can lead to decreased confidence in treating MSK conditions and suboptimal performance on orthopaedic surgery elective rotations or subinternships. Given the low amount of formalized education in MSK medicine, students aiming to learn about orthopaedic surgery must gain much of their foundational knowledge from other resources. However, there are currently no centralized introductory educational resources to fill this need. We provide a framework for navigating the different types of resources available for trainees and highlight the unaddressed needs in this area.

Maintaining a stable basal level of salicylic acid (SA) is crucial for plant growth, development, and stress response, though basal levels of SA vary significantly among plant species. However, the molecular mechanisms by which basal SA regulates plant growth and stress response remain to be elucidated. In this study, we performed a genetic screen to identify suppressors of the root growth defect in Osaim1, a rice mutant deficient in basal SA biosynthesis.

Background: Since the inception of the ASHAs in the year 2005, their work horizons have increased from Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent health (RMNCH + A), Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases (CD & NCD) to oral health, ophthalmologic care, and other supportive community level healthcare services. The present literature lacks comprehensive understanding and synthesis of domain-wise knowledge of ASHAs and the factors affecting their knowledge. Therefore, this study aimed to synthesize and collate the relevant evidence to understand the overall knowledge of ASHAs.

  • Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of variability in red blood cell sizes and may indicate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, especially in low-resource areas, according to a study in Ghana and Nigeria.
  • The study involved 319 adults with hypertension who underwent assessments like blood pressure and RDW measurement, revealing an average RDW of 13.96% and a median CVD risk score of 8.11%.
  • Findings showed that RDW is positively correlated with age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and WHO CVD risk scores, suggesting RDW could be a useful predictor of CVD risk in this population, particularly with an RDW cutoff of >14
