Article Synopsis
  • Participation in sports increases the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, with acute primary tendon ruptures being a significant concern, yet there’s limited research on their epidemiology in the US.
  • This study aims to determine the incidence rate of sports-related acute primary tendon ruptures from 2001 to 2020, using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS).
  • Findings reveal that over 141,000 patients treated for these injuries were predominantly males, with Achilles tendon ruptures being the most common, particularly related to basketball activities.

Scrotal cellular angiofibroma (CAF) is a rare, benign, soft-tissue paratesticular tumor that has been sporadically reported previously. We present a case of a 55-year old male with a scrotal mass ultimately diagnosed with scrotal CAF. Immunohistochemical analysis stained positively for desmin, CD34, and estrogen receptor.

A Complex Relationship Among the Circadian Rhythm, Reward Circuit and Substance Use Disorder (SUD).

Psychol Res Behav Manag

October 2024

Division of Addiction Research & Education, Center for Sports, Exercise, and Mental Health, Western University Health Sciences, Pomona, CA, 91766, USA.

The human brain not only controls the various physiological functions but is also the prime regulator of circadian rhythms, rewards, and behaviors. Environmental factors, professional stress, and social disintegration are regarded as the initial causative factors of addiction behavior. Shift work, artificial light exposure at night, and chronic and acute jet lag influence circadian rhythm dysfunction.

December 2024

Department of Psychiatry, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora (Yager); Department of Psychiatry, Boonshoft School of Medicine, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio (Kay).

Article Synopsis
  • - The article highlights the growing popularity of integrative therapies in clinical psychology but notes limited discussion in psychiatric literature, prompting the authors to introduce a problem-oriented integrative therapy (PIT) approach.
  • - PIT aims to address complex psychiatric issues by combining common therapeutic factors, synthesizing theories, and employing various techniques tailored to individual patient needs.
  • - Practitioners of PIT must be well-versed in multiple therapy models and adapt their methods based on patient progress and emerging research, with effectiveness measured against traditional therapy outcomes.

Team-based learning in health professions education: an umbrella review.

BMC Med Educ

October 2024

Medical Education Research Center, Education Development Center (EDC) and Social Determinants of Health Research Center, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran.

Article Synopsis
  • Team-Based Learning (TBL) is gaining traction in educational research, focusing on its effectiveness, the groups that benefit most, and the elements that are studied the most and least.
  • An extensive review examined 23 studies from 2013-2024, revealing a significant spike in research in 2022, particularly from the U.S. and China, indicating TBL enhances cognitive outcomes and clinical performance while its effects on retention are mixed.
  • Freshmen, academically weaker students, and nursing students notably benefit from TBL; however, faculty face a temporary increase in workload and development opportunities remain limited.

Clinical presentation of young persons with epilepsy who have not transitioned to adult health care systems: A single-site retrospective cohort.

Epilepsy Behav

November 2024

Department of Pediatrics, Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, Dayton, OH, USA; Department of Neurology, Dayton Children's Hospital, Dayton, OH, USA. Electronic address:

Objective: We aimed to determine the demographics and clinical presentation of young persons with epilepsy (YPE) 18-years and older who have not transitioned to adult health care systems (AHCS) and to investigate the number of neurology-related hospital encounters in this population before and after attaining adulthood.

Methods: We conducted a single-site retrospective cohort study at Dayton Children's Hospital (DCH) between 12/01/2021 and 5/31/2022. We included epilepsy patients 18-years and older.

Article Synopsis
  • Research revealed that the diaphragm shows less myotonia due to lower potassium (K) build-up in its muscle membrane structures called t-tubules, largely because of the smaller size of diaphragm fibers and differences in membrane conductance.
  • Computer simulations indicate that while potassium channels have a minimal effect on K build-up during action potentials, their activation during the time between signals may help prevent excessive depolarization, reducing myotonia severity without worsening K accumulation.

Background: Heart failure (HF) presents a massive burden to health care with a complex pathophysiology that results in HF with reduced left ventricle ejection fraction (EF) or HF with preserved EF. It has been shown that relatively modest changes in protein glycosylation, an essential posttranslational modification, are associated with clinical presentations of HF. We and others previously showed that such aberrant protein glycosylation in animal models can lead to HF.

Introduction: Medical error is common and has a significant impact on physicians, learners, and patients' perception of the medical system; however, residents receive little formal training on this topic. This curriculum aims to foster sharing of personal medical error stories, review and practice error management and coping strategies, and impact error response factors.

Methods: Faculty identified factors related to effective physician error management and recovery in order to develop a targeted curriculum for family medicine residents.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to evaluate whether the structure of Graduate Medical Education teaching clinics affects how well ophthalmology residents train for independent clinical practice, measuring preparedness with the Readiness Index, which includes workload and supervision ratios.
  • Data was collected from 109 outpatient clinics across the Veterans Affairs system from 2015 to 2019, analyzing the productivity and supervision levels of residents as they cared for patients.
  • Results showed that senior residents from clinics with higher resident-to-physician ratios exhibited better readiness, primarily due to increased independent practice, while those in larger programs often handled more complex cases but didn't see the same level of practice readiness.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to investigate the long-term reproductive effects on female offspring exposed to taxanes (docetaxel and paclitaxel) in utero, focusing on their ovarian reserve and fertility potential.
  • Pregnant mice were administered either saline, docetaxel, or paclitaxel, and their daughters were later analyzed for ovarian health, hormone levels, and reproductive outcomes.
  • Results show that in utero taxane exposure leads to ovarian toxicity in the daughters, characterized by increased follicular abnormalities and alterations in hormone levels, which could impact their fertility.

In this study, a widely used colloid of Creighton AgNPs (ORI, 1-100 nm, mostly ≤ 40 nm, ∼10 μg mL) was rapidly manipulated via tangential flow filtration (TFF) for highly reproducible surface-enhanced (resonance) Raman spectroscopy (SE(R)RS) experiments down to the single-molecule (SM) level. The quasi-spherical AgNPs were size-selected, purified, and concentrated in two TFF fractions of a cutoff diameter of ∼40 nm: AgNP ≤ 40 (∼900 μg mL) and AgNP ≥ 40 (∼100 μg mL). The SE(R)S-based sensing capabilities of the two TFF fractions were then tested under pre-resonance (632.

The directors of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism have proposed new efforts to enable earlier identification and intervention for harmful substance use and its consequences. As editors of The ASAM Principles of Addiction Medicine, we fully support this goal. The word "preaddiction" has been suggested as a diagnostic label to describe individuals who would be targeted for early intervention.
