Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercise Methodologies Used for Conservative Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, and Their Effectiveness: An Extended Literature Review of Current Research and Practice
Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2022 Jul 28;19(15):9240. doi: 10.3390/ijerph19159240.ABSTRACTDue to the multifactorial etiology of scoliosis, a comprehensive treatment plan is essential for conservative management. Physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercise (PSSE) methods have lately gained popularity for the conservative treatment of scoliosis. The aim of this study was to analyze the PSSE methodologies used for conservative treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), as well as their effectiveness. The study was based on an extended literature search conducted in the PubMed, Google Scholar, PEDro, eLABA, and ...

Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses
CONCLUSIONS: The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions. There were additional RCTs during the pandemic related to physical interventions but a relative paucity given the importance of the question of masking and its relative effectiveness and the concomitant measures of mask adherence which would be highly relevant to the measurement of effectiveness, especially in the elderly and in young children. There is uncertainty about the effects of face masks. The low to moderate certainty of evidenc...

Epub 2023 Jan 17.ABSTRACTMedical education is socially responsible for a global educational movement that transforms the development and presentation of medical schools in higher education. Therefore, in the present systematic review, we aimed to evaluate the impact of socially accountable health professional education. Published research articles were reviewed by searching the relevant terms invalid databases. In the initial search, 2340 records were obtained. At this stage, 1482 records were deleted due to duplication, and 773 records wer...

Update on Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Rural and Underserved Regions: A Global Perspective
CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric MTBI/concussion patients in rural/underserved regions experience increased risks of injury, geographic and financial healthcare barriers, and poorer outcomes. Globally, under-reporting of injury has hindered epidemiological understanding. Ongoing MTBI education should be implemented for rural caregivers, schools, and low-income populations to improve community awareness. Telehealth can improve care delivery across acuity settings, and warrants judicious inclusion in triage and treatment protocols.PMID:37176749 | PMC:PMC10179657 | DOI:10.3390/jcm12093309

Physician Payment Sunshine Act: Companies Collecting Data while Others are Whining
While the final regulations to implement the Physician Payment Sunshine Act are expected soon, aggregate spend companies are gearing up their products to offer to pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers to help implement this significant regulatory burden.
In the past few years, transparency of payments between manufacturers and physicians has continued to fill headlines and has even created projects such as ProPublica’s Dollars for Docs campaign—a project that aggregated all of the publicly available payments companies were posting voluntarily or as the result of a corporate integrity agreement (CIA) wi...

How the "Revolving Door" and Other Aspects of Corporatism Benefited Amgen Just After its Settlement and Guilty Plea
At least here in these United States, our health care corporatism is bipartisan. Here we present a sorry story of how a company that should have been shamed by dishonest behavior that likely harmed patients instead apparently was awarded special treatment through its cozy relationships with top government leaders Accusations of Kickbacks and Deceptive Marketing of Aranesp Last month, biotechnology giant pleaded guilty to a charge of misbranding and settled civil charges with the US government for $762 million (look here). Soon after, New York Times article described the unethical practices the comp...

5 Ways to Use the Internet for Self-Improvement
For most, the Internet has become a ubiquitous part of daily life. Many people work online all day and then spend evenings streaming movies. With the convenience of online banking, fewer customers step inside their local banks, while millions of shoppers make purchases without leaving home. And the Internet has replaced the phone as a quick way to stay in touch with family and friends.
Of course, the Internet can do so much more than just bringing your favorite show to your big-screen TV. It’s more than just a place to pay your electric bill and buy books. This incredible place called the World Wide Web is also a powerfu...

Need advice on post bacc programs
Hi guys, first off I want to say that I know I can get some help by using the search function but I want some help that is specific for my case. TBH, typing in post bacc programs in the search function gave me too many fillers too. Please just hear me out and give me the best advice, thanks.
I had a bad undergrad career and my gpa suffers because of it. I was unmotivated at the time and now I want to do medicine. I want to get into a MD program but my grades aren't good enough to get me in (3.1) . I am retaking my MCAT so I don't know what I'll get yet but I guess that is not the main concern of this post. I am trying to ...

Good Health Lies Just Across the Border
Every year, thousands of Afghan women cross the border into Pakistan in search of medical treatment. Credit: Ashfaq Yusufzai/IPSMuzaffar Shah, a shopkeeper from Kabul, sits in a hospital waiting room, desperate for news. He has travelled nearly 300 km to get to the Khyber Teaching Hospital in Peshawar, capital of northern Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, where his wife is now in intensive care.
Just a few days ago, she delivered a baby boy who died within minutes. Shortly after, she started to experience severe vaginal bleeding.
“She was initially admitted to the Indira Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Kabul...

The full PDF is available here.
I completely love it. After all. it is directly related to what I have been thinking about and, well, they actually did some systematic analysis of their metrics. I hope more things like this come out and are readily available for anyone to calculate. Just how open someone is could be yet another ...

Scientists ID compounds that target amyloid fibrils in Alzheimer's, other brain diseases
UCLA chemists and molecular biologists have for the first time used a "structure-based" approach to drug design to identify compounds with the potential to delay or treat Alzheimer's disease, and possibly Parkinson's, Lou Gehrig's disease and other degenerative disorders.
All of these diseases are marked by harmful, elongated, rope-like structures known as amyloid fibrils, linked protein molecules that form in the brains of patients.
Structure-based drug design, in which the physical structure of a targeted protein is used to help identify compounds that will interact with it, has already been used to generat...

WITHDRAWN: Interspace/interdental brushes for oral hygiene in orthodontic patients with fixed appliances.
CONCLUSIONS: The present practice of recommending the use of interdental/interspace brushes in addition to standard toothbrushes is not supported by clinical investigations. Interdental brushes and normal toothbrushes wear is increased during orthodontic treatment and brushes need to be replaced more frequently. This increases the economic burden of oral hygiene products for the patient.Well designed RCTs are required to provide evidence for determining clinical practice in this area.
