Text messages used by healthcare organizations to communicate with patients have known limitations for certain populations, especially older adults. This study analyzed text message interactions with over 17 000 patients aged 65 and older during the initial phase of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. We coded the responses of 4247 patients who responded to this outreach to understand issues they experienced with the text message system. Our analysis highlighted areas for technology improvement and the need for more robust strategies to effectively reach older populations.

Glimpse, Somerville, MA, USA.
As the world electrifies, global battery production is expected to surge. However, batteries are both difficult to produce at the gigawatt-hour scale and sensitive to minor manufacturing variation. As a result, the battery industry has already experienced both highly-visible safety incidents and under-the-radar reliability issues-a trend that will only worsen if left unaddressed.

Problem: Tongue tie is an added complication when breastfeeding, but little is known about the role tongue tie might play when breastfeeding twins.
Background: Twins are much less likely to be breastfed than singleton babies due to added complications regarding pregnancy, birth and ongoing care. Tongue tie can cause breastfeeding barriers including poor latch, inefficient milk transfer and nipple pain.
Transosseous Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon Transfer for Large Achilles Tendon Defects: Surgery Technique and Outcome.
Foot Ankle Int
January 2025
Department of Foot Surgery, Schulthess Klinik, Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: Operative management of chronic Achilles tendinopathy with large defects can be surgically challenging. Concerns exist regarding transosseous transfer of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon because of the shortened lever arm of flexion and weakening of the big toe. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the 2-year outcome of transosseous FHL transfer for the treatment of large Achilles tendon defects.

J Clin Med

Faculty of Medicine, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a complex skin cancer that includes Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, making accurate diagnosis and severity assessment essential for effective treatment.
- A study involving 16 dermatology residents showed significant variability in their evaluation of lesions using the mSWAT scoring system, particularly with tumors and lesions in erythrodermic patients, which were often misclassified.
- The findings reveal the need for better training and standardized protocols in scoring to enhance reliability in assessing CTCL severity, similar to other assessment tools in dermatology.
