The running symposium has been designed to demonstrate to the reader the basic mechanics of the running gait, as compared to normal walking. It is imperative in order to understand the nature of the problems seen in runners to understand the forces and motions which are occurring in the various joints of the lower extremity, so that as much as possible, treatment can be based upon accurate anatomical diagnoses, rather than empiric treatment. The second part of this symposium discusses the nature of the injuries seen in the lower extremity in runners. Suggestions are made as to how to manage the problems as well as their prevention. Finally, a comment is included on the nature of the running shoe and on shoe selection.

Teaming up to overcome challenges toward translation of new therapeutics for osteoarthritis.

Department of Orthopaedics, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
As a leading global cause of musculoskeletal-related disability, osteoarthritis (OA) represents a public health urgency. Understanding of disease pathogenesis has advanced substantially in the past decade, yet no disease-modifying therapeutics have advanced to the clinic. To address this challenge, the CARE-AP (Cartilage Repair strategies to alleviate Arthritis Pain) collaborative research team was convened to bring together relevant multidisciplinary expertise and perspectives from across the VA research community nationwide.

Article Synopsis
- The CUPISCO trial is studying whether a new treatment approach called molecularly guided therapy (MGT) can help patients with a type of cancer called cancer of unknown primary (CUP) do better than the standard chemotherapy.
- This trial involved 1,505 patients from 34 countries and focused on those who showed improvement after initial chemotherapy.
- The goal is to see if using genomic profiling in deciding treatments can lead to better results in fighting cancer compared to the usual treatment options.
Virtual Learning Decreases the Carbon Footprint of Medical Education.

Introduction: The environmental impact of holding in-person academic conferences and continuing medical education (CME) programs can be significant. In-person conferences provide a unique social and professional platform to engage in networking and foster professional development; however, there is an opportunity for hybrid and virtual platforms to provide CME for broader audiences looking to improve their clinical skills and strengthen their knowledge base. This study seeks to describe the reduction in carbon emissions associated with a webinar hosted by an online dermatology-focused medical education platform.

Bladder cancer ranks among the most common cancers globally. At diagnosis, 75% of patients have non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Patients with low-risk NMIBC have a good prognosis, but recurrence and progression rates remain high in intermediate- and high-risk NMIBC, despite the decades-long availability of effective treatments for NMIBC such as intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG).
