In this episode of HSS Presents, Dr. Evelyn Murphy joins Dr. S. Robert Rozbruch to discuss a complex case involving a quadrilateral amputee seeking mobility solutions after post-sepsis limb loss; the case was published in the March 2026 issue of "Grand Rounds from HSS: Management of Complex Cases." The discussion highlights the potential of osseointegration limb replacement for patients struggling with traditional socket fit, short residual limbs, and poor soft tissue envelopes. Dr. Rozbruch details the patient selection process, a multi-phase rehabilitation protocol involving gradual loading, and the improvements in proprioception and daily endurance. Touching on surgical innovations like custom 3D-printed implants and concurrent nerve reconstructions, this episode provides a fascinating look at how bone-anchored prosthetics are redefining independence and quality of life for amputees.

When a "rogue AI agent" triggered a Sev-1 emergency at Meta, the media immediately started spinning up Terminator scenarios. However, what actually caused the breach is far less Hollywood and reveals a far greater risk to your organization. The reality is a much more sobering masterclass in human behavioral failure. In this week's episode of Future-Focused, I‘m breaking down the recent incident and chain-of-events at Meta that led to highly sensitive data being exposed. In doing so, you'll see that AI didn't maliciously hack anything. Its “rogue” behavior was posting flawed advice at the direction of a human followed by a human blindly executing it without verification. I'll explain why this was essentially an inadvertent social engineering hack, how the "halo effect" of AI is causing professionals to bypass their critical thinking, and why the ultimate security patch right now isn't in the code, but in our accountability structures. My goal is to help you make some strategic moves and mitigate the risks to your oganization by highlighting three opportunities to prepare your organization for what's ahead:Spot-Checking the "Rules of the Road": We love to assume that because we gave our teams new tools, they naturally know the boundaries. I break down why simply turning on AI agents without an updated Acceptable Use Policy is a recipe for disaster. You cannot blindly trust that your workforce has the discernment to navigate these tools; you must establish a baseline for effective AI use—like the AI Effectiveness Rating (AER)—before a Sev 1 happens to you. Defining the Accountability Matrix: We casually assume that when an AI makes a mistake, the technology is to blame. I share why "the AI told me to" is quickly becoming a catastrophic excuse in the workplace. You need to clarify immediately that whoever executes the AI's advice owns the outcome, ensuring you don't accidentally build a culture where responsibility is endlessly deflected. Running an AI "Grand Rounds": We are avoiding talking about our internal vulnerabilities because we fear judgment. I explain why adopting the medical community's practice of "Grand Rounds" is the perfect way to openly stress-test your systems. You must bring this Meta story to your next team meeting and force an open, judgment-free conversation about how a similar failure could happen in your own workflows. By the end, I hope you'll recognize that true leadership in the AI era isn't about bracing for a sci-fi apocalypse. It's about building the human guardrails that will prevent a mundane mistake from becoming a catastrophic emergency.⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about the future we're building, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

Imaging With Intention: Optimizing Care Through Collaboration in Diagnostic Radiology Link for CME Credit: https://cmetracker.net/UTHSCSA/Publisher?page=pubOpen#/getCertificate/10101474 Host and Executive Producer Holly Wayment and UT Health San Antonio's Department of Pediatrics bring us this Grand Rounds episode with Desi Schiess, MD, pediatric radiologist. This episode reviews evidence-based imaging choices, radiation considerations, and practical tips for ordering X‑ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, and nuclear medicine in children. It includes case examples, a quiz, and guidance on when to consult a radiologist to ensure safe, effective pediatric imaging.
Both corticosteroid injection and PRP demonstrate initial efficacy where steroid appears to provide superior pain relief, as you can see here going down within the first four weeks, whereas PRP demonstrated longer lasting effect, as you can see that the VAS score is actually going down all the way up to 24 weeks, where the corticosteroid injections kind of peak at four weeks, and then slowly the pain comes back to its original level by 24 weeks, maybe around, even like a 12 weeks' time mark. So, both steroid and PRP are considered safe and an effective treatment for the GTPS. But in more recently years, it seems like PRP has a better efficacious indication over CSI for the treatment of GTPS. In a recent system review, it was concluded that PRP seems to be safe and effective when treating degenerative meniscus tears. However, additional studies are warranted. It seems like I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but truly understanding clinical implications of PRP on meniscus treatment due to heterogeneity of the studies reviewed. Similarly, in a recent review, although PRP appears to yield improvements in clinical outcomes. its clinical significance remains uncertain given, again, heterogeneity of the studies. Regarding knee ligament injuries, injection treatment is typically not common for knee ligament related injuries, but injection therapies have a role in reflective cases or when there are significant functional limitations due to pain. Introduction by Dr. Francis Lopez. Q&A followed Part 2.

Sex Differences in Asthma: What Genomics Can Teach Us
Dr. Haruki Ishii discussed a review paper on the risks and benefits of corticosteroid injections versus plasma injections in patients. The aim of this review was to compare the evidence for clinical applications of these injectates as a treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions in patients. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections for clinical use as discussed here, is defined as autologous plasma, extracted from minimally processed blood, and then containing activated platelets. So PRP delivers concentrated growth factors and cytokines acting as extra cell signaling molecules at the side of the injection. Key clinical applications of PRP include tendinopathies, osteoarthritis, muscle injuries, and then post -surgical healing treatment. The first study looked at is one published in 2021, a systemic review article. What it showed was that the corticosteroid injection yielded significant superior functional recovery and in pain compared with the PRP injections for rotator cuff lesions during the short -term follow-up period. He referred to an article that looked at the difference between a corticosteroid injection and a PRP injection for frozen shoulder patients, involving the functional outcome between those two injectates.

Dr. Douglas Kupas joins Rob Lawrence to kick off EMS One-Stop in 2026, reflecting on his first year as President of NAEMSP — a year he describes as fast-moving, complex and occasionally “whack-a-mole,” with emerging issues demanding real-time leadership while long-term priorities still had to move forward. He shares what he's learned about the presidency, the value of NAEMSP's leadership “bench strength,” and why advocacy and coalition-building across national EMS organizations has become more coordinated, more strategic and more essential. The conversation then turns to what's immediately ahead: the NAEMSP Annual Meeting in Tampa (late January), including pre-conference courses, the flagship Medical Director's Course, and a packed scientific program. Kupas highlights a keynote focused on transforming battlefield trauma care; major research programming through oral abstracts and hundreds of posters; and high-impact sessions spanning clinical care, operations, legal issues, and international perspectives — reinforcing why the Tampa meeting remains a must-attend event for anyone serious about the science and future of EMS.

The Center for Medical Simulation Presents: DJ Simulationistas... 'Sup?
Welcome to the Center for Medical Simulation's Grand Rounds presentation of the new publication in Advances in Simulation, “The Advocacy Inquiry Rubric (AIR), a Standard to Build Debriefing and Feedback Skills”. Lead author Clément Buléon, an anesthesiologist based in Caen, France, joins CMS Senior Director of Innovation Jenny Rudolph and CMS Assistant Director of Instructional Design James Lipshaw, both co-authors on the paper, to discuss how the AIR can be used to give effective, efficient feedback on questions in debriefing and feedback conversations. Our belief is that this tool can be used like the DASH to help educators improve their own performance in learning conversations, as well as the performance of others. In addition to discussing the structure and use of the AIR, James presents a series of debriefer videos to Clement and Jenny, who then have to use the AIR to provide feedback to the debriefer. We hope to model how you can “see through the eyes of the AIR” to provide effective, standards-based feedback for educators.

Dr. Kathleen Martin Ginis is a Distinguished University Scholar and a Professor in the Department of Medicine (Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) and in the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at The University of British Columbia. She holds the Reichwald Family Chair in Preventive Medicine and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology, and as is an International Fellow of the National Academy of Kinesiology. The focus of Dr. Martin Ginis's research is placed on understanding and changing physical activity behaviour, particularly among people living with spinal cord injury. She is deeply committed to knowledge translation; specifically, the development and implementation of evidence-based best-practices to improve health and well-being among people with disabilities. By example, Dr. Martin Ginis spearheaded the formulation and knowledge translation of scientific exercise guidelines for adults with spinal cord injury. These guidelines have been translated into nearly 20 languages and are used worldwide in clinical and community settings. Part 2 Eighty percent admittedly is an arbitrary number, but it's one that most exercise scientists use as a sort of the minimum threshold for deeming someone adherent to the protocol. There were no differences in pain reduction between those with neuropathic versus musculoskeletal pain, but the small ends, small sample sizes for those two groups, make it difficult to really confirm that there is no difference in exercise outcomes for those two groups. She thinks we need to look at that further with bigger samples for each type of pain. Given the pragmatic nature of the trial that we let people exercise on their own in the community, she thinks this speaks to the feasibility of using exercise as a pain self-management strategy, but with the caveat that it's likely not going to be effective for everyone. Fifty percent of people with spinal cord injury report no leisure time physical activity whatsoever. In other words, no activity that could potentially improve cardiorespiratory fitness or muscle strength. And that's not the fault of people with spinal cord injury. Factors that influence physical activity don't just rest within the person, but they rest within society.

These guidelines have been translated into nearly 20 languages and are used worldwide in clinical and community settings. Part 1 One of her objectives is to present recent data showing the physical and mental health benefits of exercise for adults with spinal cord injury. She wants to introduce exercise guidelines for adults with SCI. Starting with the benefits of exercise from a mental and physical health perspective, probably the best two areas, best two outcomes for which there is evidence are improving insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular disease risk in this population. The fitness guideline stipulates that to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength, adults with SCI should do at least 20 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity, aerobic activity twice per week, and strength training exercises twice per week. The guideline for cardiometabolic health stipulates that a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity is required three times per week. She discussed how exercise improves well-being. She also talked about exercise in chronic pain. She described the Epic SCI trial, a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial, testing the effects of exercising according to the scientific SCI exercise guidelines on SCI chronic pain.
