International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, Austria.
Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death worldwide, leading to a drastic reduction in procedural volumes globally.* -
- A global survey revealed that cardiovascular diagnostic procedures decreased by around 42% in March 2020 and 64% by April 2020 compared to the same months in the previous year, with non-invasive tests like echocardiography and stress tests experiencing even steeper declines.* -
- The impact was more pronounced in countries with lower GDP, where facilities experienced 22% more reduction in procedures and had less access to personal protective equipment and telehealth options, highlighting the unequal effects of the pandemic on healthcare services.*

Article Synopsis
- Many North American orthopaedic residents want to gain experience by working in lower-income countries, but it's unclear why and how it helps everyone involved.
- A survey revealed that these residents are excited to help improve local surgery, while local surgeons learn valuable skills from them.
- However, there were some problems like feeling unappreciated or competition, so it's important to find a better way for everyone to benefit from these experiences.
Variability in Exposure to Subspecialty Rotations During Orthopaedic Residency: A Website-based Review of Orthopaedic Residency Programs.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
June 2019
Rutgers University New Jersey Medical School, Newark, NJ (Dr. Chan, Dr. Fan, Dr. Zhao); Department of Clinical Orthopedics, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA (Dr. Sabharwal); and Benioff Children's Hospital of Oakland, Oakland, CA (Dr. Sabharwal).
Introduction: The variability in exposure to various subspecialty rotations during orthopaedic residency across the United States has not been well studied.
Methods: Data regarding program size, resident's sex, department leadership, university-based status of the program, outsourcing of subspecialty rotation, and geographic location were collected from websites of 151 US allopathic orthopaedic residency programs. The relationship of these factors with the time allotted for various clinical rotations was analyzed.
Predictors for Nonaccidental Trauma in a Child With a Fracture-A National Inpatient Database Study.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
February 2020
From the Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School, Newark, NJ (Dr. Zhao, Dr. Starke, and Dr. Tompson), and the Department of Clinical Orthopedics, University of California, San Francisco, Benioff Children's Hospital of Oakland, Oakland, CA (Dr. Sabharwal).
Background: Despite heightened awareness and multidisciplinary efforts, a predictive model to help the clinician quantify the likelihood of nonaccidental trauma (NAT) in a child presenting with a fracture does not exist. The purpose of this study was to develop an evidence-based likelihood of NAT in a child presenting with a fracture.
Methods: Using the 2012 Kids' Inpatient Database, we identified all available pediatric inpatients admitted with an extremity or spine fracture.
