Article Abstract
We conducted an online survey of 574 physiatrists in the VA system to assess demographics and practice patterns in July 2024 and obtained 392 responses (68.3%). The majority of the physiatry workforce reported being between the ages of 36 to 65 years old (82.1%). Most physiatrists (35%) have been employed by the VA between 1 and 5 years. The number of physiatrists per facility ranged from 1 to 27 and most (86%) reported being employed full-time. Only 62% of the physiatrists have a faculty appointment with their affiliated academic institution while 67% teach PM&R residents. The majority of the physiatrists (96%) are board-certified in PM&R and 40% hold subspecialty certification. Electrodiagnostics is practiced exclusively by PM&R in 30% and is shared between PM&R and Neurology in 64%. The most commonly reported practice type for physiatrists in the VA system was outpatient musculoskeletal medicine. Joint and soft tissue injections top the list of procedures performed by physiatrists. About 11% perform spinal injections. Use of orthobiologics for was reported by 14%. The greatest need identified was Cancer Rehabilitation. This VA physiatry workforce sheds light into the evolving practice of physiatry and future needs, essential for program and succession planning.

Introduction: Cutaneous scalp metastases from breast carcinoma (CMBC) represent an uncommon manifestation of metastatic disease, with heterogeneous clinical presentations, including nodular or infiltrative lesions and scarring alopecia (alopecia neoplastica). The absence of standardized diagnostic criteria, particularly for alopecic phenotypes, poses challenges to early recognition of CMBC, which may represent either the first indication of neoplastic progression or a late recurrence.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a multicenter cohort of 15 patients with histologically confirmed CMBC.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technique or tool to simulate or emulate human "intelligence." Precision medicine or precision histology refers to the subpopulation-tailored diagnosis, therapeutics, and management of diseases with its sociocultural, behavioral, genomic, transcriptomic, and pharmaco-omic implications. The modern decade experiences a quantum leap in AI-based models in various aspects of daily routines including practice of precision medicine and histology.

Artificial neural networks are limited in the number of patterns that they can store and accurately recall, with capacity constraints arising from factors such as network size, architectural structure, pattern sparsity, and pattern dissimilarity. Exceeding these limits leads to recall errors, eventually leading to catastrophic forgetting, which is a major challenge in continual learning. In this study, we characterize the theoretical maximum memory capacity of single-layer feedforward networks as a function of these parameters.

The emergence of the Novel COVID-19 Pandemic has undoubtedly impacted the lives of individuals across the globe. It has drawn the attention of major public health agencies as they work intensely towards understanding the behavior of the virus causing the disease, while simultaneously establishing ways to curb the spread of the virus among populations. As of the time of writing, 7,949,973 confirmed cases have been reported globally; with the United States (US) contributing to 26.
