In-Shoe Sensor Measures of Loading Asymmetry during Gait as a Predictor of Frailty Development in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.

Clinical walk tests may not predict the development of frailty in healthy older adults. With advancements in wearable technology, it may be possible to predict the development of frailty using loading asymmetry parameters during clinical walk tests. This prospective cohort study aimed to test the hypothesis that increased limb loading asymmetry predicts frailty risk in community-living older adults.

Resuscitation on the field of play: a best-practice guideline from Resuscitation Council UK.

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of sudden death in athletes during high-level, organised sport. Patient-related and event-related factors provide an opportunity for rapid intervention and the potential for high survival rates. The aim of this consensus was to develop a best-practice guideline for dedicated field-of-play medical teams responding to SCA during an organised sporting event.

The stroke outcome optimization project: Acute ischemic strokes from a comprehensive stroke center.

Stroke is a leading cause of disability, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is routinely acquired for acute stroke management. Publicly sharing these datasets can aid in the development of machine learning algorithms, particularly for lesion identification, brain health quantification, and prognosis. These algorithms thrive on large amounts of information, but require diverse datasets to avoid overfitting to specific populations or acquisitions.

Evaluation of radiofrequency identification tag accuracy using bronchoscopy with fluoroscopy and virtual navigation guidance before segmentectomy.

Background: The use of sublobar resection has increased with advances in imaging technologies. However, it is difficult for thoracic surgeons to identify small lung tumours intraoperatively. Radiofrequency identification (RFID) lung-marking systems are useful for overcoming this difficulty; however, accurate placement is essential for maximum effectiveness.

Recurrent inhibition refines mental templates to optimize perceptual decisions.

Translating sensory inputs to perceptual decisions relies on building internal representations of features critical for solving complex tasks. Yet, we still lack a mechanistic account of how the brain forms these mental templates of task-relevant features to optimize decision-making. Here, we provide evidence for recurrent inhibition: an experience-dependent plasticity mechanism that refines mental templates by enhancing γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated (GABAergic) inhibition and recurrent processing in superficial visual cortex layers.

Factors associated with satisfaction of the australian rural resident medical officer cadetship program: results from a cross-sectional study.

Background: Australian Rural Resident Medical Officer Cadetships are awarded to medical students interested in a rural medical career. The Rural Residential Medical Officer Cadetship Program (Cadetship Program) is administered by the Rural Doctors Network on behalf of the NSW Ministry of Health. This study aimed to assess the overall experience of medical students and key factors that contributed to their satisfaction with the Cadetship Program.

Contribution of MLKL to the development of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy and its amelioration by rapamycin.

Necroptosis, necrosis characterized by RIPK3-MLKL activation, has been proposed as a mechanism of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiomyopathy. We showed that rapamycin, an mTORC1 inhibitor, attenuates cardiomyocyte necroptosis. Here we examined role of MLKL in DOX-induced myocardial damage and protective effects of rapamycin.

Primary healthcare in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative interview study in Sweden.

Objective: To explore how primary healthcare workers in Sweden experienced and perceived the long-term impact of the pandemic on their work.

Design: This is a descriptive qualitative study with individual semistructured interviews conducted 2 years after the onset of COVID-19. Data were analysed using an inductive thematic approach.

Lifestyle as a Modulator of the Effects on Fitness of an Integrated Neuromuscular Training in Primary Education.

The objective was to evaluate changes in fitness after an integrated neuromuscular training (INT) intervention in primary school children and to evaluate how lifestyle behaviors and parental education modulate these changes. One hundred and seventy children (7.45 ± 0.

What Are Doctors For? A Call for Compassion-Based Metrics as a Measure of Physician Value.

Modern measures of physician value are couched in terms of productivity, volume, finance, outcomes, cure rates, and acquisition of an increasingly vast knowledge base. This inherently feeds burnout and imposter syndrome as physicians experience an inability to measure up to unrealistic standards set externally and perceived internally. Ancient and modern wisdom suggests that where populations fail to flourish, at root is a failure to grasp a vision or true purpose.

Effects of a newly developed toe exercise program combined with the intrinsic and extrinsic muscle trainings on toe function: a case series.

Background: Foot and toe function is important for not only sports performance but also preventing and treating musculoskeletal disorders. Although strengthening training specific to intrinsic and extrinsic muscles has been recommended, insufficient information is available in toe exercises in their variation and evidences compared to shoulder or lumbopelvic training strategies. The aim was to examine the effects of a newly developed foot muscle exercise program on toe function in individuals during the growth period.

Accounting for taste: preferences mediate the relationship between documentation time and ambulatory physician burnout.

Objectives: Physician burnout in the US has reached crisis levels, with one source identified as extensive after-hours documentation work in the electronic health record (EHR). Evidence has illustrated that physician preferences for after-hours work vary, such that after-hours work may not be universally burdensome. Our objectives were to analyze variation in preferences for after-hours documentation and assess if preferences mediate the relationship between after-hours documentation time and burnout.
