Patient-Specific Mirrored Planning Leads to Superior Symmetry for Late Post-Traumatic Deformity After Orbital Zygomatic Maxillary Complex Fractures

Background: Post-traumatic orbital-ZMC deformity is notoriously difficult to correct because of soft tissue contraction and loss of anatomic landmarks. To see whether virtual planning is beneficial, we studied orbital/malar volume correction, globe position, malar projection and...

Nicotinamide Riboside for Patients With Early-Stage Parkinson Disease

Importance Nicotinamide riboside, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide precursor, has been proposed as a potential disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson disease based on preclinical and early studies. Whether prolonged oral nicotinamide riboside improves clinical outcomes in Par...

Exploring provider preferences for HIV treatment support packages integrating long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy in New York Ryan White Part A medical case management programs

Background: Understanding the preferences of core HIV medical case management (MCM) program staff for long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI ART)-related support services could help integrate those services into MCM programs, thus facilitating uptake of LAI ART and in...

Evidence-based atlas of risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders: an umbrella review to inform personalized prognosis and prevention.

Identifying updated, evidence-based risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders is essential to advancing scientific and clinical knowledge of their etiology. Since the most recent umbrella review published in this journal, the evidence base has expanded substantially. Fo...

Review Article: Cancer Surveillance for Early Detection of Liver Cancer in Patients with HBV Infection

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although antiviral therapy reduces cirrhosis and liver failure, HCC may still develop in patients with HBV, including in non-cirrhotic livers. This review aimed...

Latent Class Analysis of Prenatal Characteristics and Their Associations With Early Childhood Weight

ABSTRACT Objective Identify patterns of obesity‐related prenatal characteristics across ecological system levels and examine associations with child weight at 2 years old. Methods Secondary analyses were conducted using data from 533 low‐income Hispanic families enrolled in a chi...

Artificial Intelligence–Based Detection of ARIA on MRI During Alzheimer Disease Therapy: Expert Opinion on Responsible Clinical Integration

Amyloid-targeted monoclonal antibody therapies have introduced a new era in the treatment of early Alzheimer disease. However, their use has increased the importance of detecting and monitoring amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) on MRI, as such findings may influence tr...

Presumptive Coverage Policies and Workers’ Compensation of Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder and Other Mental Health Conditions: A Retrospective Time‐Series Study in Canada 2001–2019

BACKGROUND: The impact of presumptive coverage policies for work-related mental health disorders has not been extensively studied to date. Using data from the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC), our objectives were to describe the evolution of compensat...

Commercial Payors More Likely to Reimburse Unlisted Hip Arthroscopy Procedures Compared With Managed Care but With Similar Overall Dollar Amount

Purpose To compare the reimbursement practices of public managed care (MC) insurance versus private commercial insurance (COM) for hip arthroscopy using the current procedural terminology (CPT) code 29999. Methods The CPT codes and corresponding reimbursements of hip arthroscopie...

Preoperative Visual Field Patterns Associated with Selection for Concurrent Eyelid and Brow Ptosis Repair

Introduction: Determining when to perform combined eyelid and brow surgery for functional deficits remains subjective, despite measurable visual field (VF) impairment in affected patients. Objectives: We sought to identify VF patterns associated with selection for combined eyelid...

Deep Learning Applied to 12-Lead ECGs for Detection of Structural, Metabolic and Systemic Disease

The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is inexpensive, noninvasive, and widely available, but conventional interpretation may not capture subtle signals related to cardiac structure, systemic physiology, and future risk. This review examines the use of deep learning–enabled ECG anal...

Structural Heart Interventions in Women with Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract Purpose of Review To provide a review of current transcatheter interventions in women with congenital heart disease, with a focus on sex-specific considerations in diagnosis, management, and follow-up. Recent Findings As the field of pediatric cardiology advances and pat...

Cardiac Myosin-Binding Protein C in Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBPC) is an important sarcomeric regulatory protein that plays a key role in myocardial contraction and relaxation. Through its interactions with thick and thin filament proteins, cMyBPC helps regulate cross-bridge cycling and contributes signi...

Higher Pain Catastrophizing Scores are Associated with Increased Pre-operative Anxiety in Ambulatory Hand Surgery that is not Impacted by Watching a High-Quality Pre-Operative Video

Background Recent studies have shown that online video libraries are poor sources of educational content for patients. Despite this, patients seek videos on the internet to learn about their conditions and treatments, which may increase anxiety prior to surgical procedures. This...

Identification of robust speech-based markers of negative symptom severity in schizophrenia spectrum disorders

There is growing interest in using digital health technologies to overcome limitations of traditional negative symptom assessment in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). For example, computerized speech analysis has been used to quantify speech and language changes associated...

Right hippocampal volume and attenuated psychotic symptoms distinguish subgroups of youth with common patterns of temporoparietal effective connectivity

Abstract Associations between patterns of brain connectivity and brain structural features have transdiagnostic relevance to psychopathology. There is considerable evidence for disruptions to the hippocampus and temporoparietal brain systems in psychotic disorders. The present st...

Peripheral Nerve Entrapment Mimics of Overuse Syndromes

Repetitive use injuries are commonly seen by musculoskeletal providers, usually in the form of tendinopathies. However, focal peripheral nerve entrapment can mimic or coexist with tendon pathology, particularly when weakness, sensory symptoms, or imaging findings are subtle or no...
