Readiness for climate change mitigation among anesthesiologists : A before and after study at three German university hospitals.

Background: Medical societies around the world are exploring strategies to reduce their carbon footprint. In this context, organizational readiness can serve as an important facilitator for the success of change. In this study we assessed whether a series of educational interventions improved anesthesia departments' organizational readiness for climate change mitigation.

Postoperative Ketorolac Administration and Pseudoarthrosis Following Multilevel Posterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: The effect of perioperative ketorolac use after posterior cervical decompression and fusion (PCDF) remains unclear with ongoing concern regarding NSAID-induced pseudoarthrosis. This study investigates the association between postoperative ketorolac use and pseudoarthrosis after multilevel PCDF.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed adults undergoing multilevel PCDF (2002-2024) using TriNetX.

The chicken and the egg: unraveling aspects of semantic change and how they relate to lexical acquisition.

Several recent studies have shown intricate correlations between semantic change and the age of acquisition (AoA) of words, thus reviving the long-standing debate about the relationship between language acquisition and language change, both of which can express weak cognitive biases. However, semantic change can occur in various ways. In this paper, we aim to disentangle different aspects of semantic change and test its relationship to AoA.

Opioid Timeliness in the Emergency Department and Hospitalizations for Acute Sickle Cell Pain.

Importance: Guidelines for the timely emergency department (ED) administration of opioids for acute sickle cell disease (SCD) pain lack clear evidence showing associations with reduced hospitalizations.

Objective: To evaluate the associations between the timely administration of multiple opioid doses during uncomplicated SCD pain episodes in children and hospitalization.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This multisite cross-sectional study used data from the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network Registry.

Risk of nonunion for dual plate versus single plate fixation for humeral shaft and distal humerus fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This study's purpose was to compare clinical outcomes in adult patients who underwent dual plate versus single plate fixation for humerus fractures to enhance decision-making and patient care.

Methods: Data sources: A pre-registered systematic review and meta-analysis searched four databases on January 9th, 2025. Inclusion criteria were studies that compared dual versus single plate fixation for humerus fractures.
