AI Article Synopsis
- A healthy 15-year-old football player underwent a preparticipation examination, revealing reduced range of motion in his right shoulder but no pain or complaints.
- Subsequent imaging initially suggested a bony abnormality consistent with an osteochondroma but was later identified as heterotrophic ossification, necessitating a complex surgical intervention.
- This case emphasizes the need for thorough, specific questioning about injury history during medical evaluations, beyond just sports-related injuries.
Article Abstract
A healthy 15-year-old right-hand dominant football player presented to the clinic for a preparticipation examination (PPE) with an exam notable for reduced right shoulder range of motion. The patient reported no complaints, including no pain. Upon questioning, he noted a remote non-sports related injury to that shoulder with unremarkable radiographs at that time. Subsequent X-ray imaging showed a bony abnormality thought to be consistent with an osteochondroma. However, advanced imaging identified it as a heterotrophic ossification center that required a complex, multidisciplinary surgical team to correct. This case of a high school football player's routine PPE that resulted in surgery highlights not only whether sport participation is safe, but also the importance of direct, specific language that asks about the history of injuries, rather than specifically sports related.

Prospective associations of adolescent obesity phenotypes with self-reported polycystic ovary syndrome diagnosis in young adulthood.

Study Question: Are empirically derived adolescent overweight/obesity phenotypes differentially associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in young adulthood?
Summary Answer: Self-reported PCOS diagnosis risk in young adulthood varied by empirically derived adolescent overweight/obesity phenotypes, with the highest risk observed among those in the 'mothers with obesity' and 'early puberty' phenotypes.
What Is Known Already: Overweight and obesity during puberty are postulated to promote the development of PCOS. Much of the prior literature in this area is cross-sectional and defines weight status based solely on BMI, yet emerging research suggests that not all people with overweight/obesity have the same risk for chronic health conditions, including PCOS.
Acne vulgaris affects approximately 80% of young adults and adolescents in the world. Acne presents as comedones, pustules, papules, and nodules on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. It can lead to a significant decrease in quality of life with a high risk of associated depression and anxiety.

Bipolar disorder often begins in adolescence or early adulthood, characterized by recurrent manic episodes that can lead to neurodegenerative brain changes and functional decline. While several oral second-generation antipsychotics are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for mania, adherence to maintenance treatment is frequently poor due to factors such as anosognosia, cognitive dysfunction, impulsivity, side effects aversion, and substance use. Long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics, approved for adults with bipolar mania or schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type), offer a potential solution for adolescents with similar conditions.

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with germline CDH1 variants are at risk of overtreatment when precancer lesions are detected with endoscopic screening. We characterize diffuse-type gastric cancer prevalence and survival in AYA managed with prophylactic total gastrectomy (PTG) or endoscopic surveillance.
Methods: Prospective cohort study of 188 individuals aged 39 and younger enrolled from January 27, 2017, to May 1, 2023.
