Practice variation exists between the volume of fluids administered and timing of vasopressor commencement. The optimal approach in patients with septic shock is uncertain.

Objective: Extreme subparaneurial ganglion cysts are poorly understood. In Part 1, the authors demonstrated that patterns of distribution in the subparaneurial space are consistent with the principles of the articular theory for intraneural ganglion cysts (INGCs). How a cyst transfers from the subepineurial to the subparaneurial compartment remains to be determined.

Objective: The formation and propagation of intraneural ganglion cysts (INGCs) is being elucidated by the unified articular theory. Its principles include a connection for joint fluid to egress from a synovial joint via an articular branch to a parent nerve and cyst following the path of least resistance, dependent on pressures and pressure fluxes. The occurrence of so-called extreme peroneal or tibial INGCs in the popliteal fossa extending to the sciatic nerve has been reported.

Primary lymphedema (i.e., a chronic condition characterized by the accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the interstitial spaces due to impaired lymphatic drainage) and lipomatosis of nerve (LN) (i.

Introduction: The aims of this study were to examine the types of demographic information collected about patients at US dental schools, the ways in which that information was collected, and how it was used.

Methods: An online survey was sent in May 2023 to Assistant/Associate Deans of Clinics or Directors of Clinics at all US dental schools that were open with functioning clinics (n = 70).

Results: Among 37 responding dental school clinics, the types of demographic information most frequently collected about clinic patients were age (97%), preferred name (92%), and need for language interpretation (89%).
