    Abstract Hyperventilation syndrome is described as a constellation of symptoms that are typically benign but can become a medical emergency in the setting of severe metabolic derangement secondary to shifts in a patient's pH. A 36-year-old male with a history of intravenous (IV) drug abuse presented to the emergency department (ED) in distress, complaining of diffuse muscle cramping with tetany and peripheral vasospasm. This case report discusses his initial ED testing and treatment when ionized calcium was low and serum calcium was high.

    Abstract Aging, an ever-present process, is a part of every living organism's life cycle. Gerontology, the study of the biological, social, psychological aspects of aging, is a field that has been around since the 1930s, when the human inquiry into aging began to emerge. Aging can be characterized by the external changes, wrinkles, graying of the hair, among other changes, and lesser-seen but still important changes, presbycusis, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, sarcopenia, and more. There is a strong drive to uncover as much as we can about the process of aging and the ways to delay its progression.

    Abstract The clinical picture of encephalopathy invites a broad differential with multiple etiologies. It is with judicious history, hospital course, lab testing, and imaging that the ultimate cause is identified. We present a unique case of identical twins who share a similar clinical presentation of postoperative encephalopathy. The striking similarities in both twins suggest a genetic component requiring further research to identify patients who are genetically predisposed.

    Abstract Background: Co-production of research aims to include people with lived experience of a phenomena throughout the research process. People experiencing homelessness often experience advance ill-health at a young age, yet access palliative care services at a disparately low rate to the level of palliative care need. The voices of people experiencing homelessness are infrequently heard throughout palliative care research, despite the complexities and intricacies of the area.
    Aim: To explore the experiences of experts in the field to identify key context considerations for involving people with lived experience of homelessness in palliative and end of life care research.
    Methods: Qualitative study comprising two data collection streams: interviews with professionals with experience of involving people experiencing homelessness in their work, and focus groups with people with lived experience (PWLE) of homelessness. Data were analysed using iterative, reflexive thematic analysis. Patient and Public Involvement contributors gave feedback on themes.
    Results: A total of 27 participants took part in semi-structured interviews (N = 16; professionals) or focus groups (N = 11; PWLE homelessness). Key considerations of involving people experiencing homelessness in palliative and end of life care research were developed into four key themes: complexity of lived experience of homelessness; representation of homelessness within experts by experience; professionalising lived experience; and methods for involvement.
    Conclusions: Involvement of people with lived experience of homelessness is important in developing palliative care research. This paper begins to outline some contextual considerations for promoting involvement in a complex and intricate field of research.

    Abstract Purpose of review: In this narrative review, we summarize the peer-reviewed literature published between 2017 and 2022 that evaluated ambient environmental risk factors for primary headache disorders, which affect more than half of the population globally. Primary headache disorders include migraine, tension-type headache (TTH), and trigeminal and autonomic cephalalgias (TAC).
    Recent findings: We identified 17 articles that met the inclusion criteria via PubMed or Google Scholar. Seven studies (41%) relied on data from US populations. The remaining studies were conducted in China, Taiwan, Germany, Ghana, Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Turkey. Air pollution was the most frequently assessed environmental risk factor. Most studies were cross-sectional and focused on all-cause or migraine headaches; one study included TTH, and none included TAC. Short-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was not consistently associated with headache endpoints, but long-term exposure to PM2.5 was associated with migraine headache prevalence and severity across multiple studies. Elevated ambient temperature, changes in weather, oil and gas well exposure, and less natural greenspace, but not noise pollution, were also associated with headache. No studies considered water pollution, metal exposure, ultrafine particulate matter, or wildfire smoke exposure. There is a need for ongoing research focused on headache and the environment. Study designs with the greatest explanatory power may include longitudinal studies that capture the episodic nature of headache and case-crossover analysis, which control for time-invariant individual-level confounders by design. There is also a clear need for research that considers comorbid psychiatric illness and socioeconomic position as powerful modifiers of the effect of the environment on headache.

    Abstract Abstract: Gymnastics is a popular sport with a high injury rate, particularly at the collegiate level. Achilles tendon rupture is a catastrophic injury with career-changing impact. Over the last decade, there has been a growing incidence of Achilles tendon ruptures, especially in female gymnasts. Currently, neither the effects of contributing risk factors on Achilles tendon rupture nor the research frameworks to guide future intervention strategies have been well described. This article reviews the functional anatomy and mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon, provides precollegiate and collegiate intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors for Achilles tendon rupture, and proposes a research framework to address this injury from a systemic perspective. Potential clinical interventions to mitigate Achilles tendon injury are proposed based on currently available peer-reviewed evidence.

    Abstract Oceanic delphinids that occur in and around Navy operational areas are regularly exposed to intense military sonar broadcast within the frequency range of their hearing. However, empirically measuring the impact of sonar on the behavior of highly social, free-ranging dolphins is challenging. Additionally, baseline variability or the frequency of vocal state-switching among social oceanic dolphins during undisturbed conditions is lacking, making it difficult to attribute changes in vocal behavior to anthropogenic disturbance. Using a network of drifting acoustic buoys in controlled exposure experiments, we investigated the effects of mid-frequency (3-4 kHz) active sonar (MFAS) on whistle production in short-beaked (Delphinus delphis delphis) and long-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis bairdii) in southern California. Given the complexity of acoustic behavior exhibited by these group-living animals, we conducted our response analysis over varying temporal windows (10 min- 5 s) to describe both longer-term and instantaneous changes in sound production. We found that common dolphins exhibited acute and pronounced changes in whistle rate in the 5 s following exposure to simulated Navy MFAS. This response was sustained throughout sequential MFAS exposures within experiments simulating operational conditions, suggesting that dolphins may not habituate to this disturbance. These results indicate that common dolphins exhibit brief yet clearly detectable acoustic responses to MFAS. They also highlight how variable temporal analysis windows-tuned to key aspects of baseline vocal behavior as well as experimental parameters related to MFAS exposure-enable the detection of behavioral responses. We suggest future work with oceanic delphinids explore baseline vocal rates a-priori and use information on the rate of change in vocal behavior to inform the analysis time window over which behavioral responses are measured.

    Abstract Plasmonic structures, such as bowtie nanoantennas, may be used in Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Nanoantennas can be employed to amplify the biomolecular and chemical reactions, which is useful for biomedical applications. The electric field created by nanoantennas are optimized when the resonant wavelength of the probed laser light closely matches the resonant wavelength of the plasmonic structure. In this work, we fabricated several bowtie nanoantennas with varying geometric spacing for use with a 532 nm wavelength laser line in Raman Spectroscopy. The fabrication utilized nanolithography by electron beam lithography on a Raith Voyager, development, deposition, and metal lift-off. This study explored a specific bowtie nanoantenna geometry of 270 nm equilateral sides triangle pairs with 3 varying gap sizes, 50 nm, 20 nm, and 10 nm, and the effect of varying electron beam doses on the final structure of the nanoantenna. The results presented here, will show that the working dose factor range is 6.5-10.3 (650-10,300 μC/cm

    Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a cutaneous cancer often found on sun-exposed areas. MCC is rare but very often lethal making early diagnosis challenging although critical. There are only a few cases that have reported MCC of the eyelid making it often hard to identify in clinic. A 52-year-old woman with a firm nodule on the left eyelid was diagnosed with MCC that had also metastasized to a left submandibular lymph node. She underwent surgical excision of the mass and lymph node as well as parotid gland and neck dissection to rule out other metastases and then underwent radiation therapy. The aim of this study is to report a case of eyelid MCC with metastasis to a local lymph node to provide another example of the rare cancer in hopes that diagnosis and treatment options for MCC are more thoroughly studied and understood.
