Diagnosis of simple benign peripheral nerve tumors (PNT) is usually based on imaging studies and in most cases, surgical excision leads to no significant functional deficit. The clinical presentation is often asymptomatic with incidental imaging findings. We present an unusual clinical presentation of a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the radial nerve.

Background: Single-position prone transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (PTP-LLIF) is an evolving minimally invasive surgery technique that merges the biomechanical and anatomical advantages of prone positioning with the LLIF approach. While PTP-LLIF enhances lumbar lordosis restoration and operative efficiency by eliminating patient repositioning, it presents unique ergonomic and visualization challenges for surgeons. This technical report describes a novel modification of the technique using the Teligen camera to improve intraoperative visualization and reduce surgeon fatigue.

Background: Mental and behavioral disorders affect approximately 28% of the adult population in Germany per year, with treatment being provided through a diverse health care system. Yet there are access and capacity problems in outpatient mental health care. One innovation that could help reduce these barriers and improve the current state of care is the use of mobile health (mHealth) apps, known in Germany as Digitale Gesundheitsanwendungen (DiGA).

One-year grants of up to $40,000 total were cofunded by this BWH-DOM program and by the applicant's BWH-DOM division to support health equity research or care innovation interventions. Recipients participated in a learning collaborative, which included community-building, health equity research and advocacy-related educational sessions, and midterm and final presentations.

Monoclonal gammopathy-associated myopathies (MGAMs) are rare yet treatable myopathies that occur in association with monoclonal gammopathies. These myopathies include light chain (AL) amyloidosis myopathy, sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy (SLONM), scleromyxedema with associated myopathy, and newly reported monoclonal gammopathy-associated glycogen storage myopathy (MGGSM), including the vacuolar myopathy with monoclonal gammopathy and stiffness. All these 4 distinct subtypes of MGAMs typically present in patients aged 40 or older, frequently with a subacute onset of rapidly progressive proximal and axial muscle weakness.
