Juxtaglomerular Cell Tumor With Cytohistological Correlation: A Case Report.

Juxtaglomerular cell tumors (JCT) are uncommon renin-secreting tumors of the kidney with cytologic findings of JCT rarely reported. We describe a case of JCT in a 37-year-old man with uncontrolled hypertension that was cured by removal of the tumor via partial nephrectomy. Cytology material was prepared by scraping of the freshly sectioned tumor mass and stained with Diff-Quik and Papanicolaou stains.

Novel Clinical Practice Assessments: Informational Statements by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society.

Musculoskeletal oncology involves rare diseases. As a result, there is a paucity of literature to guide practitioners. Studies are often clinical experience, retrospective reviews, noncomparative studies, and involve small numbers of patients.

Quality of life after stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastasis: an assessment from a prospective national registry.

Purpose: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is frequently used in the management of brain metastasis patients. However, there is an urgent need to evaluate post-treatment outcomes and quality of life metrics for patients undergoing SRS for brain metastases.

Methods: The NeuroPoint Alliance (NPA) SRS Quality Registry conducted prospective enrollment of patients undergoing SRS from 2017 to 2024.

Moving the Needle: Using Guidelines on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to Uplift a Stronger Medical Education Community.

The Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics created the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Guidelines Task Force to develop best practices to establish a diverse physician workforce and eliminate racism in medical education. Using the guidelines, educators are impacting their communities and, in some areas, leading their institutions toward greater diversity and inclusion. The guidelines are organized by 4 domains: learning environment, grading and assessment, pathway programs, and metrics.

The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Clinical Practice Guideline on the Management of Metastatic Humeral Disease.

Management of Metastatic Humeral Disease is based on a systematic review of published studies surrounding the management of metastatic disease, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma limited to the humerus. This guideline contains seven action statements to assist orthopaedic surgeons, orthopaedic oncologists, physicians, and any other qualified healthcare professionals involved in the surgical management of metastatic disease of the humerus. It is also intended to serve as an information resource for decision makers, researchers, and developers of clinical practice guidelines.

Morphologic and Molecular Heterogeneity of High-grade Serous Carcinoma Precursor Lesions.

Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) is the fallopian tube precursor lesion for most cases of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). To date, the morphologic, molecular, and clinical heterogeneity of STIC and a less atypical putative precursor lesion, termed serous tubal intraepithelial lesion, has not been well characterized. Better understanding of precursor heterogeneity could impact the clinical management of women with incidental STICs (without concurrent carcinoma) identified in cases of prophylactic or opportunistic salpingectomy.

Seeking justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in pediatric nephrology.

Inequity, racism, and health care disparities negatively impact the well-being of children with kidney disease. This review defines social determinants of health and describes how they impact pediatric nephrology care; outlines the specific impact of systemic biases and racism on chronic kidney disease care and transplant outcomes; characterizes and critiques the diversity of the current pediatric nephrology workforce; and aims to provide strategies to acknowledge and dismantle bias, address barriers to care, improve diversity in recruitment, and strengthen the pediatric nephrology community. By recognizing historical and current realities and limitations, we can move forward with strategies to address racism and bias in our field and clinical practices, thereby cultivating inclusive training and practice environments.

Educational guidelines for diversity and inclusion: addressing racism and eliminating biases in medical education.

Racism and bias contribute to healthcare disparities at a patient and population health level and also contribute to the stagnation or even regression of progress toward equitable representation in the workforce and in healthcare leadership. Medical education and healthcare systems have expended tremendous efforts over the past several years to address these inequities. However, systemic racism continues to impact health outcomes and the future physician workforce.

Evaluating the Association of a Core EPA-Oriented Patient Handover Curriculum on Medical Students' Self-reported Frequency of Observation and Skill Acquisition.

Introduction: "Giving or receiving a patient handover to transition patient care responsibility" is one of the thirteen Core Entrustable Professional Activities (Core EPAs) for Entering Residency. However, implementing a patient handover curriculum in undergraduate medical education (UME) remains challenging. Educational leaders in the multi-institutional Core EPA8 pilot workgroup developed a longitudinal patient handover UME curriculum that was implemented at two pilot institutions.
