Why Olympic Bronze Medalists Are Happier Than Silver Medalists
With the Beijing Winter Olympics upon us, Team USA has made clear that it is approaching this year’s Games with a special emphasis on the mental health of its athletes.
This perhaps comes as no surprise after American gymnast Simon Biles set off an impassioned conversation about the emotional tribulations of elite athletes when she withdrew from several events of the Tokyo Olympics last year. She liberated others to share their own struggles with performing under intense pressure (not to mention televised scrutiny), and this new openness shows no signs of abating. At the end of January, top-ranked Brazilian surfer G...

What Are Some Initial Evaluations for Suspected Congenital Muscle Diseases?
Discussion
Usually congenital myopathies (CM, e.g. nemaline, core, centronuclear myopathies, etc.) and congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD, e.g. LAMA2-related, collage VI-related, alpha-dystroglycan-related muscular dystrophy, etc.) have been diagnosed based on physical examination and histopathology. Traditionally CMs are due to problems with the muscle contractile apparatus and structures that assist excitation-contraction coupling. CMD are due to problems with the extracellular matrix, muscle membrane and sarcolemmal membrane. Differentiating between CM and CMD have become more blurred as genetic testing and additional r...

Placenta Accreta Spectrum
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) refers to the range of pathologic adherence of the placenta to the uterine myometrium, including the placenta accreta, increta, and percreta. The incidence of PAS is rising primarily because of an increase in related risk factors, such as the rate of cesarean deliveries and pregnancies resulting from assisted reproductive technology. The maternal risks associated with PAS are significant, including hemorrhage, hysterectomy, and death. Fetal and neonatal risks are primarily the result of premature delivery. Antenatal diagnosis via ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging remains imperfe...
