    Abstract This article provides an update on fibrocartilaginous disease clinical examination. Lesser metatarsophalangeal joint instability is a challenging entity for the foot and ankle surgeon. A correct diagnosis is crucial to instill an appropriate treatment plan that will result in a successful outcome and a satisfied patient. Insertional Achilles tendon disorders are common among active and inactive patients. There is also a high predilection for Achilles tendon pathology among athletes. In this article demographics and patient history, causative factors, differential diagnosis, physical examination, clinical tests, and radiographic evaluation are discussed for plantar plate disorders and insertional Achilles disorders.

    Abstract The mechanisms underlying how urban air pollution exposure conveys Alzheimer's disease risk and affects plaque pathology is largely unknown. Because particulate matter, the particle component of urban air pollution, varies across location, pollution source, and time, a single model representative of all ambient particulate matter is unfeasible for research investigating the role of ar pollution in central nervous system diseases. More specifically, the investigation of several models of particulate matter with enrichment of source-specific components are essential to employ, in order to more fully understand what characteristics of particulate matter affects Alzheimer's disease, including standardized diesel exhaust particles.

    Abstract Objective: Patients with rheumatologic conditions are at elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to inflammatory and traditional risk factors, such as high blood pressure (BP) and smoking. However, rheumatology clinics rarely address traditional risk factors, although they are routinely assessed and modifiable in primary care. The present study sought to (1) characterize rheumatology clinic staff's work process for addressing high BP and smoking and (2) identify barriers and strategies for effective management of these risk factors.
    Methods: We conducted 7 focus groups with medical assistants, nurses, and scheduling staff from 4 adult rheumatology clinics across 2 health systems (BP focus groups, n = 23; smoking, n = 20). Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis to elucidate barriers and strategies.
    Results: We found 3 clinic work processes for the management of high BP and smoking risk: (1) risk identification, (2) follow-up within the clinic, and (3) follow-up with primary care and community resources. Within these processes, we identified barriers and strategies grouped into themes: (1) time, (2) clinic workflows, (3) technology and resources, (4) staff's attitudes and knowledge, and (5) staff's perceptions of patients. The most pervasive barriers were (1) no structured system for follow-up and (2) staff confidence and skill in initiating conversations about health-related behavior change.
    Conclusions: Our study identified generalizable gaps in rheumatology staff's work processes and competencies for addressing high BP and smoking in patients. Future efforts to support staff needs should target (1) systems for follow-up within and outside the clinic and (2) conversation support tools.

    Abstract Background: The global market share for cigarettes with flavor capsules has grown exponentially over the last decade, particularly in Latin America. When smoking, consumers crush a liquid capsule in the filter that flavors the smoke. Little is known about the chemical constituents of the liquids in capsules or their potential health risks.
    Methods: Based on consumer data and availability in Mexico and Guatemala, 31 flavor capsule brands were purchased (19 and 12, respectively) in 2020. Since some cigarettes included multiple capsules in a stick (up to 2) or pack (up to 4), the final analytic sample included 50 capsules. We conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS, Agilent Technologies, Inc).
    Results: The qualitative analysis detected 296 compounds (range = 9-67 per capsule), and all capsules contained menthol. Among the compounds detected in more than half the sample were limonene, menthone, benzaldehyde, eucalyptol, and triacetin. Traces of nicotine were found in 22% of the capsules. In the quantitative analysis, menthol concentrations were 33 times greater than the next most common compound (limonene). Benzyl alcohol and vanillin were also found in high concentrations. Comparing same-brand varieties across countries showed substantial variability in the concentration of menthol and other compounds.
    Conclusions: Menthol is an omnipresent constituent in capsule cigarettes, perhaps because of its anesthetizing and reinforcing addictive properties. Other compounds found are toxic, potentially carcinogenic, and may enhance addictiveness. Variance in the presence and concentrations of such compounds highlights the importance of product standards to regulate capsule content.
    Implications: This study evaluated the chemical content of capsule cigarettes from two Latin American countries that have two of the highest market shares for capsule cigarettes worldwide. Compared to other studies, our assessment included brand varieties from two countries to compare the differences in chemical content by country. Our results yield that menthol is found in all capsules, and that other chemicals found may prolong nicotine exposure and therefore reinforce the addictive properties of cigarettes.

    Abstract The mechanisms underlying how urban air pollution affects Alzheimer's disease (AD) are largely unknown. Ozone (O3) is a reactive gas component of air pollution linked to increased AD risk, but is confined to the respiratory tract after inhalation, implicating the peripheral immune response to air pollution in AD neuropathology. Here, we demonstrate that O3 exposure impaired the ability of microglia, the brain's parenchymal immune cells, to associate with and form a protective barrier around Aβ plaques, leading to augmented dystrophic neurites and increased Aβ plaque load. Spatial proteomic profiling analysis of peri-plaque proteins revealed a microenvironment-specific signature of dysregulated disease-associated microglia protein expression and increased pathogenic molecule levels with O3 exposure. Unexpectedly, 5xFAD mice exhibited an augmented pulmonary cell and humoral immune response to O3, supporting that ongoing neuropathology may regulate the peripheral O3 response. Circulating HMGB1 was one factor upregulated in only 5xFAD mice, and peripheral HMGB1 was separately shown to regulate brain Trem2 mRNA expression. These findings demonstrate a bidirectional lung-brain axis regulating the central and peripheral AD immune response and highlight this interaction as a potential novel therapeutic target in AD.
