Widespread subtle, lower cortical thickness measures were associated with clinical high risk for psychosis, according to results of a working-group mega-analysis published in JAMA Psychiatry.

The initial diagnosis of non-ischemic events, or “stroke mimics,” occurred more frequently in women than men in a secondary analysis of DOUBT study data, though diagnostic revisions were often made for both men and women.

Patients diagnosed with ACL injuries and Segond fractures had complete anterolateral ligament insertion on the avulsed bony fragment, though the posterior portion of the iliotibial band had a lower rate of attachment, according to findings.
