    Abstract Provide a more effective medical response by emphasizing the management of acute exacerbations of chronic diseases in disasters. Disaster victims need treatment for their acute exacerbations of and ongoing chronic medical conditions, medication refills, mental health resources, and have an expectation that medical facilities will provide resources beyond medical care. Medical response is more efficient, cost effective, and effectual when these considerations are supported.

    Abstract Restricted range, and subsequently small population size, render Kemp's ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii) the most globally endangered sea turtle species. For at least two decades preceding conservation, high egg harvest rates reduced annual cohort recruitment. Despite > 50 years of dedicated conservation, annual nest counts remain well below a landmark 1947 level. Prior studies attribute less robust than anticipated nest count rebound to multiple contemporary concerns; however, analyses herein convey optimistic interpretation. In objective 1, improved analysis of the ratio of hatchlings to nests since 1966 suggested age structure stabilization as a more likely basis for nest count trends after 2005 than density-dependent effects. In objective 2, multiple regression revealed a lagged (≤ 13 years prior) climate influence on nests (adj. r

    Abstract Language and cultural barriers are associated with poor health outcomes. Communication is arguably the most important variable associated with a successful educational and training Global Health Engagement (GHE) and often unrecognized even when attempts are made to address this barrier. Madagascar's GHE activity improved after the addition of local Malagasy translation to fully translated official French instruction.

    Abstract » The acromion is a well-studied region of the scapula that has demonstrated substantial relationships to various shoulder pathologies.» Abnormal acromial morphology is associated with rotator cuff pathology, and our understanding of this risk factor inspired acromioplasty as an adjunctive treatment for rotator cuff tears.» The acromion is linked closely to shoulder kinematics and biomechanics, as it serves as the origin for the deltoid muscle.» In degenerative shoulder disease, eccentric glenohumeral osteoarthritis has been associated with a higher, flatter acromial roof.» Increasing literature is emerging connecting morphology of the acromion with shoulder instability.

    Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) allows for the evaluation of real time changes in brain (electrocortical) activity during exercise. A few studies have examined changes in electrocortical activity using stationary cycling, but the findings have been mixed. Some of these studies have found increases in brain activity following exercise, while others have found decreases in brain activity following exercise. Hence, it is of importance to identify post-exercise changes in brain activity. Sixteen healthy, untrained subjects (8 males; 8 females) participated in the study. All 16 participants performed a graded exercise test (GXT) to volitional exhaustion on an upright cycle ergometer. Continuous EEG recordings were sampled before (PRE) and immediately following (IP) the GXT. Regions of interest were primarily the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), and left and right motor cortex (MC). In the DLPFC, a frontal asymmetry index was also identified. There was a statistically significant increase in theta power in the DLPFC, VLPFC, and left and right MC from PRE to IP (all

    Abstract Background: The use of a distal tibial allograft (DTA) for reconstruction of a glenoid defect in anterior shoulder instability has grown significantly over the past decade. However, few large-scale clinical studies have investigated the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the DTA procedure.
    Purpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical studies with data on outcomes and complications in patients who underwent the DTA procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss.
    Study design: Systematic review and meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 4.
    Methods: A comprehensive search of major bibliographic databases was conducted for articles pertaining to the use of a DTA for the management of anterior shoulder instability with associated glenoid bone loss. Postoperative complications and outcomes were extracted and compiled in a meta-analysis.
    Results: Of the 8 included studies with 329 total participants, the mean patient age was 28.1 ± 10.8 years, 192 (83.8%) patients were male, and the mean follow-up was 38.4 ± 20.5 months. The overall complication rate was 7.1%, with hardware complications (3.8%) being the most common. Partial graft resorption was observed in 36.5% of the participants. Recurrent subluxation was reported in 1.2% of the participants, and recurrent dislocation prompting a reoperation was noted in 0.3% of the participants. There were significant improvements in clinical outcomes, including American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (40.9-point increase;
    Conclusion: The DTA procedure was associated with a low complication rate, good clinical outcomes, and improved range of motion among patients with anterior shoulder instability and associated glenoid defects.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess, through participant self-assessment, the effectiveness of a rapid response team curriculum based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Ebola Virus Disease Consolidated Preparedness Checklist, Revision 1.
    Methods: A pre-and-post survey for the purpose of process improvement assessment involving 44 individuals was conducted in Angola. The survey was conducted before and after a 6-day training workshop held in Luanda, Angola, in December 2017. A paired t-test was used to identify any significant change on six 7-point Likert scale questions with α <.05 (95% CI).
    Results: Two of the 6 questions, "I feel confident the team can effectively work together to accomplish its assigned goals and objectives during a suspected contagious hemorrhagic fever disease outbreak" and "I understand basic pandemic response concepts" changed significantly from the presurvey to the postsurvey. The 4 remaining questions had near statistical significant change or an upward trend.
    Conclusion: This Angolan rapid response team training curriculum based on WHO guidelines, After Action Reports, and internationally accepted standard operating procedures provides the nation of Angola with the confidence to rapidly respond at the national level to a highly infectious contagion in the region. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2019;13:577-581).
