We invite everyone to stand with us, take action and help create a future where no one has to face this disease alone.”

Researchers found that the policy was associated with a decrease in soccer-related concussions; however, female players experienced a higher proportion of concussions than their male counterparts.

“Dental procedures are believed to possibly allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream and attach themselves to hip or knee implants, potentially causing PJI in a patient,” said Yale Fillingham, MD, FAAOS, co-chair of the AAOS guideline development group. “PJI is one of the most devastating complications for patients following TJA, and we must do everything possible that is supported by evidence to prevent these infections. Given the large number of annual TJA procedures and that most of these patients undergo a dental cleaning at least twice a year, this CPG is relevant to nearly every TJA patient.”

Researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine conducted a comprehensive study using data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey between 2011 and 2021, which surveyed 88,183 adolescents in grades nine through 12. Researchers focused on the overall time trends in use of marijuana as well as variations by gender, race/ethnicity, and school grade. These data provide important insights into the changing landscape of marijuana use among American youth.
