    Abstract A thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is a fluid-filled mass in the neck resulting from the persistence of a duct from fetal development that typically regresses spontaneously. When it persists, it is most often removed in a surgical procedure known as a Sistrunk operation. This case study presents the intriguing case of an eight-year-old boy who presented to an otolaryngology clinic with both a recurrence of his TGDC, as well as several postoperative complications, after the Sistrunk operation was performed. After the initial procedure resulted in an incomplete removal of the TGDC, the patient was referred to Interventional Radiology for sclerotherapy. After several rounds of this treatment technique the cyst remnants still persisted along with their associated symptoms. Due to the very low likelihood of a recurrence being observed after surgical removal with subsequent sclerotherapy, the reappearance of the cyst raised several clinical questions. This report underscores the significance of a thorough evaluation and consideration of unique presentations when confronted with recurrent TGDCs.

    Abstract With reports of its emergence as far back as the early 1900s, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has become one of the deadliest and most difficult viruses to treat in the era of modern medicine. Although not always effective, HIV treatment has evolved and improved substantially over the past few decades. Despite the major advancements in the efficacy of HIV therapy, there are mounting concerns about the physiological, cardiovascular, and neurological sequelae of current treatments. The objective of this review is to (Blattner et al., Cancer Res., 1985, 45(9 Suppl), 4598s-601s) highlight the different forms of antiretroviral therapy, how they work, and any effects that they may have on the cardiovascular health of patients living with HIV, and to (Mann et al., J Infect Dis, 1992, 165(2), 245-50) explore the new, more common therapeutic combinations currently available and their effects on cardiovascular and neurological health. We executed a computer-based literature search using databases such as PubMed to look for relevant, original articles that were published after 1998 to current year. Articles that had relevance, in any capacity, to the field of HIV therapy and its intersection with cardiovascular and neurological health were included. Amongst currently used classes of HIV therapies, protease inhibitors (PIs) and combined anti-retroviral therapy (cART) were found to have an overall negative effect on the cardiovascular system related to increased cardiac apoptosis, reduced repair mechanisms, block hyperplasia/hypertrophy, decreased ATP production in the heart tissue, increased total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides, and gross endothelial dysfunction. The review of Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors (INSTI), Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTI), and Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTI) revealed mixed results, in which both positive and negative effects on cardiovascular health were observed. In parallel, studies suggest that autonomic dysfunction caused by these drugs is a frequent and significant occurrence that needs to be closely monitored in all HIV + patients. While still a relatively nascent field, more research on the cardiovascular and neurological implications of HIV therapy is crucial to accurately evaluate patient risk.

    Abstract Introduction: International Medical Graduates (IMGs) have lower educational attainment and a higher rate of complaints against them compared to Domestic Medical Graduates (DMG). The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of burnout on these adverse outcomes experienced by IMGs.
    Methods: Every year, the General Medical Council (GMC) conducts the National Training Survey of all doctors in the United Kingdom which includes optional questions on work-related burnout from the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Work-related burnout data for doctors in training, linked to country of Primary Medical Qualification were obtained from the GMC for the years 2019 and 2021. Burnout scores of IMGs and DMGs were compared using Chi
    Results: The total number of eligible participants in 2019 and 2021 was 56,397 and 61,313 respectively. The response rates for all doctors in training to the CBI were 35,739 (63.4%) in 2019, and 28,310 (46.2%) in 2021. IMGs were at a lower risk of burnout compared to DMGs, 2,343 (42.9%) vs 15,497 (51.2%), Odds Ratio (OR) 0.72 (CI 0.68-0.76, P < 0.001) in 2019; and 2,774 (50.2%) vs 13,000 (57.1%), OR 0.76 (CI 0.71-0.80, P < 0.001) in 2021.
    Discussion: IMGs, as a group, appear to be at a lower risk of work-related burnout compared to DMGs. Burnout is unlikely to be contributing to lower educational attainment and higher rates of complaints experienced by IMGs compared to DMGs.

    Abstract Historically, subject matter experts and healthcare professionals have played a pivotal role in driving oncology clinical trials. Although patients have been key participants, their deliberate and active contribution to the design and decision-making process has been limited. This scoping review aimed to examine the existing literature to scope the extent of active patient engagement in the design of oncology clinical trials and its corresponding influence on trial outcomes. We conducted a systematic search using two databases, namely MEDLINE (Ovid) and EMBASE, to identify relevant studies exploring patient engagement in cancer-related clinical research design. We identified seven studies that met the eligibility criteria. The studies highlighted the benefits of active patient involvement, such as improved recruitment strategies, and the attainment of more patient-centered trial outcomes. The influence of patient involvement varied from tangible developments like patient-friendly resources to indirect impacts like improved patient experiences and potentially higher adherence to trial intervention. The future of clinical trials should prioritize patients' values and perspectives, with regulatory bodies fostering these practices through clear guidelines. As the concept of patient centricity takes root in oncology research, the involvement of patients should evolve beyond mere participation.

    Abstract Background: Pulse oximetry measurement is ubiquitous in acute health care settings in high-income countries and is familiar to any parent whose child has been treated in such a setting. Oximeters for home use are readily available online and are incorporated in several smartphones and smartwatches.
    Methods: We wished to determine how accurate are oximeters available online that are designated for adult and pediatric use, and the saturation monitor integrated in a smartphone, when used in children, compared to reference, hospital-grade oximeters. We evaluated a fingertip oximeter marketed for children purchased online; an adult fingertip oximeter purchased online; the oximeter integrated in a smartphone; and reference, hospital-grade oximeters. Participants were < 18 y of age. Bland-Altman charts were generated, and the estimated root mean square error (EA
    Results: We measured S
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the performance of consumer-grade devices varies considerably by both subject age and device. The pediatric fingertip device and smartphone application we tested are poorly suited for use in infants. The adult fingertip device we tested performed quite well in larger children with relatively normal oxygen saturations, and the pediatric fingertip device performed moderately well in subjects > 1 y of age who weighed < 30 kg. Given the vast number of devices available online and ever-changing technology, research to evaluate nonclinical oximeters will continue to be required.

    Abstract The recent decline in RAAA incidence and the fast paced scenario with associated challenges regarding training calls for initiative for a better training environment to maximize learning. This led us to the creation of a pulsatile human cadaveric RAAA model. Fresh frozen cadaver was used to create RAAA with BioTissue in hybrid suite with ability to perform CBCTA for sizing. As a proof of concept, the model was used to perform REVAR with proximal CODA balloon control. The model proved to be feasible and we believe it is a better environment to train and gain adequate proficiency in RAAA management.
