Background: In children with acute myeloid leukemia, the incidence of hyperleukocytosis is 5-33%. Patients with AML and hyperleukocytosis have a higher early mortality rate than patients with nonhyperleukocytic AML because of the increased risk of severe pulmonary and neurologic complications. Leukapheresis provides rapid cytoreduction and reduces early mortality rates.
Case Presentation: In this report, we present a case with microcirculatory failure of upper extremities as a rare symptom of hyperleukocytic AML M4 at initial presentation.
Conclusions: Early diagnosis and treatment of patients with AML admitted to emergency services with these symptoms is too important to prevent from loss of extremities. Most of the complications of hyperleukocytosis can be reversible with early treatment.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Prior Authorizations for Orthopaedic Care Are Negatively Affected by Medicaid Insurance Status.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
December 2024
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery (Harrer, Hedden, Gentile, Gealt, and Brown), Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Cooper University Health Care, and the Cooper University Health Care (Mikaeili and Bazrafshan), Camden, NJ.
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has revolutionized musculoskeletal care. However, its high costs and high utilization has prompted many insurance payors to require a prior authorization. This process remains burdensome and results in delays to patient care.

Background: There is no standardization within hand and upper-extremity surgery regarding which patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are collected and reported. This limits the ability to compare or combine cohorts that utilize different PROMs. The aim of this study was to develop a linkage model for the QuickDASH (shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and PROMIS PF CAT (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function computerized adaptive testing) instruments to allow interconversion between these PROMs in a hand surgery population.

PLoS One
December 2024
Research Department, Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
In resource-limited areas, where accurate weight-for-height Z-scores are hard to obtain, Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) is a simple tool to identify wasted children. MUAC alone, however, may miss identification of many wasted children, leading to untimely intervention and potentially death. Our study aimed to identify the best-performing case definition to detect wasting by Weight-for-Height z-scores (WHZ) in Filipino children aged 6-59 months.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Biorobotics and Biomechanics Lab, University of Maine, 168 College Ave, Orono, ME, 04469, USA.
Purpose: Current gait rehabilitation protocols for older adults typically attempt to effect changes in leg movements, while the role of arm movements is often ignored despite evidence of the neurological coupling of the upper and lower extremities. In the present work, we examine the effectiveness of a novel wearable haptic cueing system that targets arm swing to improve various gait parameters in older adults.
Methods: Twenty participants ( years) were recruited to analyze their gait during normal and fast walking without haptic cueing.
Automated Distal Radius and Ulna Skeletal Maturity Grading from Hand Radiographs with an Attention Multi-Task Learning Method.

Assessment of skeletal maturity is a common clinical practice to investigate adolescent growth and endocrine disorders. The distal radius and ulna (DRU) maturity classification is a practical and easy-to-use scheme that was designed for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis clinical management and presents high sensitivity in predicting the growth peak and cessation among adolescents. However, time-consuming and error-prone manual assessment limits DRU in clinical application.
