Position statements are utilized by healthcare organizations to summarize evidence and clearly articulate consensus on best practices. The procedures for developing position statements by the National Athletic Trainers' Association and the NATA Research and Education Foundation have been updated to enhance transparency, reduce bias, and better incorporate the available research to support clinical care recommendations. The paper details the processes of topic selection, author group formation, evidence gathering, and recommendation building, emphasizing the systematic approach and the inclusion of diverse expertise. These changes ensure that future position statements, starting from June 2024, will be more rigorously developed and serve as a reliable resource for athletic trainers, other healthcare providers, and important stakeholders in various settings.

Statement Of Problem: The reproducibility of positioning the maxillary occlusal plane in an articulator with a facebow remains debated. Its clinical use is widespread, yet its reliability and clinical outcomes compared to other transfer methods under standardized conditions remain uncertain.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the intra-operator reproducibility of maxillary positioning on an articulator using a facebow compared to a standardized transfer table.

Layer 6 corticothalamic (L6CT) neurons project to both cortex and thalamus, inducing multiple effects including the modulation of cortical and thalamic firing, and the emergence of high gamma oscillations in the cortical local field potential (LFP). We hypothesize that the high gamma oscillations driven by L6CT neuron activation reflect the dynamic engagement of intracortical and cortico-thalamo-cortical circuits. To test this, we optogenetically activated L6CT neurons in NTSR1-cre mice (both male and female) expressing channelrhodopsin-2 in L6CT neurons.

Introduction And Clinical Importance: To present a case of traumatic third cranial nerve palsy and discuss the management challenges associated with this condition.
Case Presentation: A 27-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital following a road traffic accident that resulted in multiple injuries, including traumatic brain injury, orbital injury. The patient presented with left complete upper lid ptosis, a fixed dilated pupil, and restricted extraocular muscle movements in the left eye except abduction with large exotropia >90 PD and hypotropia 25 PD diagnosed as left oculomotor nerve palsy.

Management of class III malocclusion in patients with cleft is geared toward improving the maxillary position with maxillary protraction therapy with or without bone anchorage. This study aims at evaluating the effects of bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) and tooth-anchored maxillary protraction (TAMP) appliances in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP). A search of PubMed MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, and ClinicalTrials.

Intra-familial weight stigma is a subtle yet impactful dynamic that may influence the outcomes of family-based interventions aimed at treating childhood obesity. While much attention has been paid to societal and peer-related weight stigma, less focus has been placed on how stigma manifests within families. This position statement highlights the importance of recognising that such stigma can unintentionally arise in the home.
