Semaglutide and Postoperative Outcomes in Non-Diabetic Patients Following Body Contouring Surgery.

Background: Semaglutide is a medication used for weight loss in obese patients. Recently, many plastic surgeons have recommended its use of semaglutide following bariatric surgery to increase one's weight loss. However, postoperative complications such as wound dehiscence, delayed healing, and infection pose significant risks.

Medical Misinformation and Quality of Public Video Content on Cannabis for Chronic Pain Management: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the YouTube Platform.

Background: As cannabis legalization expands nationally and globally, its use for chronic pain increases, prompting people to seek information on social media platforms like YouTube. This study evaluates the accuracy and quality of information of popular YouTube videos on cannabis for chronic pain.

Methods: Using search terms related to cannabis for pain, the top 66 videos by view count were selected.

Posttranscriptional regulation of the T-box gene midline via the 3'UTR in Drosophila is complex and cell- and tissue-dependent.

The T-box (Tbx) proteins have a 180-230 amino acid DNA-binding domain, first reported in the Brachyury (T) protein. They are highly conserved among metazoans. They regulate a multitude of cellular functions in development and disease.

Stress-Induced Oculogyric Crisis in Septo-Optic Dysplasia: Case Report.

Introduction: Oculogyric crisis (OGC) is a dystonic movement disorder of varying durations that manifests as bilateral paroxysmal upward eye deviation accompanied by involuntary blinking, tongue protrusion, and autonomic symptoms. Separately, septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a congenital disorder involving hypoplasia of the optic nerve as well as hypothalamic and pituitary abnormalities. In the presented case, we report a case of OGC in the setting of SOD with proposed pathogenesis.

National Postoperative Opioid Prescribing Rates Following Pediatric Urology Procedures Before and After the 2018 American Academy of Pediatrics Challenge to Reduce Opioid Prescribing: A Claims Database Analysis.

Objective: To evaluate trends in opioid prescribing rates following pediatric urologic surgery.

Methods: We queried the TriNetX Research database for patients under age 18 who underwent one of seven common pediatric urology procedures. We identified the proportion of patients that received an oral opioid prescription within 5days of surgery.

Learning from the early careers of master clinicians.

Background: Master clinicians are recognized as multidimensional experts in clinical medicine. Studying their formative clinical activities could generate insights to guide medical trainees and early career clinicians.

Objectives: To investigate which early career activities were adopted more commonly by master clinicians than their matched peers and to characterize master clinicians' early career activities across institutions and specialties.

Seeing Radiology Curricula Through Turkish Medical Students' Eyes: A Survey of Turkish Medical Schools' Radiology Education.

Introduction: Radiology education is essential for nonradiologist specialists and practitioners as well as for radiologists. We conducted a survey to gather the opinions of Turkish medical students from first to sixth grade regarding their radiology curricula, radiology education content, and perceptions of various imaging modalities and to assess the amount, adequacy, and homogeneity of radiology education in various schools.

Methods: Turkish medical students were reached by student ambassadors from 10 different schools of medicine via social media and email.

Short-Term Outcomes of Hydrus Microstent With and Without Additional Canaloplasty During Cataract Surgery.

Prcis: Compared with phacoemulsification and microstent alone, we observed that phacoemulsification with combined microstent and canaloplasty resulted in a significantly greater reduction in glaucoma medications while maintaining similar rates of intraocular pressure reduction and low complications.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of phacoemulsification combined with Hydrus Microstent (Alcon Inc.) implantation alone or in combination with canaloplasty (OMNI Surgical System, Sight Sciences Inc.

Implementation and Maturity of Clinical Learning Environment Components Across Pediatric Residency Programs.

Objective: Pediatric residency programs prioritize clinical learning environment components depending on resource availability, institutional constraints and culture, and accreditation requirements. However, there is limited literature on the landscape of implementation and maturity of clinical learning environment components across programs nationally.

Methods: We used Nordquist's clinical learning environment conceptual framework to craft a survey around the implementation and maturity of learning environment components.

Heart Failure With Stable Mildly-reduced Ejection Fraction: Prognosis and Predictors of Outcomes.

Heart failure with mildly-reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) of 40%-49% is an under-recognized type of heart failure. The prognosis and predictors of outcomes of stable mildly-reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 1 year are unclear. This is a retrospective study.

Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Due to Haemophilus Influenzae in Utah.

Haemophilus influenzae causes serious invasive disease in children and is described as an infrequent cause of neonatal early-onset sepsis (EOS). Here we present the clinical and microbiologic features of 10 cases of EOS due to H. influenzae in Utah.

Human Health during Space Travel: State-of-the-Art Review.

The field of human space travel is in the midst of a dramatic revolution. Upcoming missions are looking to push the boundaries of space travel, with plans to travel for longer distances and durations than ever before. Both the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and several commercial space companies (e.

Knowing the ABCs: teaching the principles of radiology to medical students in Turkey.

Background: Radiology education in Turkey is mainly taught during clinical years of medical school and often lacks main principles. Exposure to the fundamentals of radiology at an early stage of medical education may drastically help students generate a better understanding of radiology and expand their interest in the specialty. With the Principles of Radiology Course that we provided, pre- and post-session tests, and assessment survey at the end of the course, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of such an online course among Turkish medical students.

GABRG1 variant as a potential novel cause of epileptic encephalopathy, hypotonia, and global developmental delay.

Epileptic encephalopathies (EEs) are severe brain disorders with excessive ictal (seizure) and interictal (electrographic epileptiform discharges) activity in developing brain which may result in progressive cognitive and neuropsychological deterioration. In contrast to regular epilepsy where the treatment goal is to prevent the seizure (ictal) recurrence, in patients with EE the goal is to treat both ictal as well as interictal activity to prevent further progression. With the introduction of genetic sequencing technologies over the past 20 years, there is growing recognition of the genetic basis of EE, with the majority due to monogenic causes.
