roximately 6.5 months) and do not hit in a real game until 323 days (approximately 10.7 months) after UCLR. Players see a decrease in hitting utilization after UCLR. On average, players hit in a real game 20 days before fielding in a real game.BACKGROUND Despite success at preventing ankle sprain, prophylactics that restrict ankle plantarflexion motion may produce deleterious knee biomechanics and increase injury risk. PURPOSE To determine if ankle prophylactics that restrict plantar- and dorsiflexion motion produce changes in knee biomechanics during a single-leg cut and whether those changes differ between sexes. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS A total of 17 male and 17 female participants performed a single-leg cut with 4 conditions Ankle Roll Guard (ARG), lace-up brace, nonelastic tape, and an unbraced control. Peak stance knee flexion, abduction, and internal rotation joint angle and moment; total knee reaction moment (TKM) and its components (sagittal, frontal, and transverse); and ankle plantarflexion and inversion range of motion (ROM) and peak stance joint moments were tested with a repeated measures analysis of variance to determine the main effect and interaction of condition and sex. RESULTS Brace and tape restricted pdesign and user's sex and may increase women's injury risk. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Sex-specific ankle prophylactic designs may be warranted to reduce knee injury during sports.In the summer of 2017, the National Quality Forum (NQF) announced the formation of a Scientific Methods Panel (hereafter referred to as "the Panel") as part of a redesign of its endorsement process. NQF created the Panel in response to stakeholder request during a Kaizen improvement event held in May 2017. Given the Panel's role in the endorsement of performance measures used in national payment programs, the objective of this article is to describe the work of the Panel, and to describe its function in the larger context of the NQF measure endorsement process and in the measurement enterprise writ large. This article also serves as an introduction to a series of planned white papers being authored by the panel on specific technical issues in the area of health care performance measurement.Patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC) whose cancers have progressed despite conventional therapies represent an unmet clinical need. Trop-2, a transmembrane calcium signal transducer, is highly expressed in MBC and plays a role in tumor growth and progression. BMS-1166 research buy Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is a novel antibody-drug conjugate comprising an Trop-2 antibody coupled to SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan, via a unique hydrolyzable linker. SG has demonstrated promising activity in a Phase I/II IMMU-132-01 basket study in heavily pretreated solid tumors, including HR+/HER2- MBC. We describe the registrational Phase III TROPiCS-02 study (NCT03901339), evaluating SG versus treatment of physician's choice in HR+/HER2- MBC. Trial registration number NCT03901339.BACKGROUND The biceps tendon is a known source of shoulder pain. Few high-level studies have attempted to determine whether biceps tenotomy or tenodesis is the optimal approach in the treatment of biceps pathology. Most available literature is of lesser scientific quality and shows varying results in the comparison of tenotomy and tenodesis. PURPOSE To compare patient-reported and objective clinical results between tenotomy and tenodesis for the treatment of lesions of the long head of the biceps brachii. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. METHODS Patients aged ≥18 years undergoing arthroscopic surgery with intraoperative confirmation of a lesion of the long head of the biceps tendon were randomized. The primary outcome measure was the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, while secondary outcomes included the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) score, elbow and shoulder strength, operative time, complications, and the incidence of revision surgery with each prodifferences between groups in elbow flexion strength or supination strength. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging at postoperative 12 months showed that the tenodesis was intact for all patients. CONCLUSION Tenotomy and tenodesis as treatment for lesions of the long head of biceps tendon both result in good subjective outcomes but there is a higher rate of Popeye deformity in the tenotomy group.

However, nutrition assessments and counseling in physician-patient encounters is often lacking. Insufficient nutrition education during medical school may lead to insecurity in assessing and counseling patients.Methods Physicians and registered dietitians (RD) co-developed and co-facilitated a nutrition workshop for first-year medical students. Goals included increasing recognition of nutrition's impact on health and promoting student confidence and skills when attaining a nutrition history, assessing risk factors, and advising.Results Seventy percent of students attested to having "sufficient" knowledge to counsel a patient on nutrition after the session compared to 38% before (Z= -4.46, p  less then  0.001). Sixty eight percent felt comfortable completing a nutritional assessment after the session compared to 35% before (Z= -4.30, p  less then  0.001). Sixty-three percent felt confident in advising patients about nutrition after the session compared to 32% before (Z= -4.20, p  less then  0.001). Students also significantly outperformed a control cohort on a nutrition-related component of an Objective Standardized Clinical Examination.Conclusions Clinical nutrition education can be successfully integrated into the medical school curriculum as early as the first year. Interprofessional collaboration with RDs provided evidence-based content and authentic clinical experience in both the development of the workshop and in facilitating student discussion.Although the human body can heal, it takes time, and slow healing and chronic wounds often occur. Thus, identifying novel therapies to aid regeneration is needed. Here, we conducted a systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guidelines and assessed preclinical studies on phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) inhibitors and their effects on tissue repair and regeneration. In conditions associated with neurodegeneration, tissue injury and ischemia, the PTEN-regulated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is activated. The use of PTEN inhibitors resulted in better tissue response by reducing the healing time and lesion sizes or inducing neuronal regeneration. Notably, all studies included in this systematic review indicated that pharmacological inhibition of PTEN enhanced the repair process of the eye, lung, muscle and nervous system.
