    Abstract Purpose of review: The aim of this article is to review the recent guidelines and literature regarding the diagnosis and the treatment of common pediatric musculoskeletal infections: septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, pyomyositis, and Lyme disease.
    Recent findings: In the last decade, a better understanding of the causative organisms of common bacterial infections, including Kingella , leads to prompt targeted antimicrobial coverage in all musculoskeletal infections. Prompt diagnosis and treatment continues to be the mainstay in the treatment of children with osteoarticular infections. Efforts to improve early detection have lead to improving rapid lab diagnostic testing; however, more advanced diagnostics such as arthrocentesis for septic arthritis and MRI for osteomyelitis and pyomyositis, remain the gold standard. Shorter and narrowed antibiotic courses, with appropriate transition to outpatient oral treatment provide effective infection clearance and reduction in complications of disease.
    Summary: Advances in diagnostics, including pathogen identification as well as imaging continues to improve our ability to diagnose and treat these infections, although still lack ability to provide definitive diagnosis without more invasive nor advanced techniques.

    Abstract Background: The Nightingale North West (NNW) was a UK temporary field hospital set up during the COVID-19 pandemic. Policies and standard operating procedures were undeveloped. Visitors were permitted only in exceptional circumstances, resulting in heightened anxiety for patients and next of kin (NOK).
    Objective: Recognising the importance of effective NOK communication, a quality improvement project (QIP) was undertaken to improve communication between doctors and NOK.
    Method: NOK satisfaction with communication received from doctors (scored 1-5) was the primary outcome measure and data was collected through standardised phone-calls.A wide four point (1-5) variability in satisfaction was identified.PDSA methodology was used to introduce interventions: (1) 'Gold standard' for frequency of NOK updates; (2) Record date of NOK update on the doctors' list.
    Results: Early post-intervention data showed reduced variability in satisfaction with 82% of NOK scoring '4' or '5'. Process measures demonstrated excellent uptake of interventions.
    Conclusion: Conclusions are limited by the project's short time-frame but there is a promising role for these interventions in enhancing doctor-NOK communication.

    Abstract Abstract Proper science communication is quickly becoming a professional imperative in ecology, but many researchers are not practiced in diverse and effective communication strategies. Academic jargon and text‐heavy content are often cited as barriers for laypeople trying to access and understand research results. Here, we have presented scientific visualizations (infographics, figures, and illustrations) as a useful tool to reduce the information transfer gaps between researchers and the public. The graphics we have proposed are images with minimal text that convey ecological research concepts, methods, processes, and results. They are more captivating than text alone and more efficient at disseminating information to a broad audience because they reduce cognitive load. We applied tools and best practices from the fields of marketing and design to explain graphic construction and demonstrated how to build a visualization that is both aesthetic and effective. The basic principles of design are paramount to image composition, and we reviewed experimental literature to support the notions that the proper use of color, proximity, and balance helps to illuminate the main message or story that we wanted to communicate. We presented examples from wildlife ecology research in Alaska to highlight how researchers can use graphics for their own communication efforts, and emphasized the power of visual narratives to explain complex techniques and ecosystem processes. The best practices we outlined here are meant to help researchers understand the composition of science visualizations, build productive collaborations with artists, and ultimately create appealing and informative images that communicate research.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of, and explore factors related to, prescription of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) among older adults with lower-limb loss (LLL).
    Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional dataset collected through an interdisciplinary limb loss clinic between September 2013 and November 2022. Self-report medication lists were reviewed during in-clinic face-to-face interviews and compared to the American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria corresponding to the patient's evaluation year.
    Results: Of 82 participants (72.9 ± 6.6 years-old; 78.0 % male), n = 41 (50.0 %) reported using one or more PIM. PIM prescription was significantly associated with presence of phantom limb pain, history of upper gastrointestinal issues, and a greater number of medications.
    Discussion: Polypharmacy and PIM use are common among older adults with LLL. Greater attention should be paid to medications post-amputation, especially pain management medications, to minimize potential adverse side-effects.

    Abstract Inflammation has been linked to clinical cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer's disease. Less is known, however, about the relationship between inflammation and normal, age-associated cognitive decline. An understanding of the determinants of all types of cognitive decline is important for improving quality of life in an aging world. This study investigated whether biomarkers of inflammation were associated with cognitive function and decline in older Taiwanese adults. Data were from the Taiwan Longitudinal Study of Aging and the Social Environment and Biomarkers of Aging Study. Inflammation was measured in 2000 and 2006 as C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, soluble e-selectin, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and white blood cell count. Cognition was assessed by 10 cognitive and memory tasks, measured in 2006, 2007, and 2011. Growth curve models were used to examine the relationship between inflammation and cognitive score over this time period. Higher levels of inflammation were associated with lower baseline cognitive scores, but not with longitudinal change in cognitive score. This study did not support a causal link between inflammation and cognitive decline among this older cohort. The observed cross-sectional relationship could reflect a causal relationship that arises earlier in life, or confounding; additional research across the life course is warranted.
