AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Despite the increasingly diverse population of the United States, orthopedic surgery continues to lag other medical specialties in terms of diversity. It remains the specialty with the lowest percentage of women, and White physicians dominate the field, especially in leadership positions. Although the trends are slowly moving in the right direction, additional efforts must be taken to further diversify the field. A targeted, multifaceted approach is required to enhance awareness, educate, mentor, and develop future leaders. Such an approach has recently been established by the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, which will hopefully improve future minority and female representation.

Hypoxia as a medicine.
Sci Transl Med

Department of Molecular Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114, USA.
Oxygen is essential for human life, yet a growing body of preclinical research is demonstrating that chronic continuous hypoxia can be beneficial in models of mitochondrial disease, autoimmunity, ischemia, and aging. This research is revealing exciting new and unexpected facets of oxygen biology, but translating these findings to patients poses major challenges, because hypoxia can be dangerous. Overcoming these barriers will require integrating insights from basic science, high-altitude physiology, clinical medicine, and sports technology.

Sanford Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Background: Orthopaedic devices represent a large amount of the overall cost incurred in the operating room. It is unknown if employed sports medicine surgeons are aware of the true prices of these devices. The purpose of this study was to assess sports medicine orthopaedic surgeons' knowledge of implant and device costs, as well of commonly used items in their operating rooms.

Department of Kinesiology and Sport Sciences, University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL, United States of America.
The KinaTrax markerless motion capture system, used extensively in the analysis of baseball pitching and hitting, is currently being adapted for use in clinical biomechanics. In clinical and laboratory environments, repeatability is inherent to the quality of any diagnostic tool. The KinaTrax system was assessed on within- and between-session reliability for gait kinematic and spatiotemporal parameters in healthy adults.

Faculty of Psychology, Department of Cognition, Emotion, and Methods in Psychology, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies of its measurement invariance across a large number of nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset-with data collected between 2020 and 2022 -to assess measurement invariance of the SWLS across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N = 56,968). All participants completed the SWLS under largely uniform conditions.

Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine, Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas, Dallas, Texas, USA.
A reduction in cerebral blood flow (CBF) has been observed during spaceflight and bed rest. We aimed to examine the magnitude and regional heterogeneity of the decrease in CBF during bed rest compared to posture changes on Earth. Seventeen participants (age, 29 ± 9 years, 7 females) were studied in the upright and supine posture and over 3 days of bed rest.
