Military personnel may confront numerous potentially traumatizing experiences, including military-specific events and those experienced by civilians.

However, the inappropriate use, abuse, and diversion of prescription drugs in America, particularly prescription opioids, has increased dramatically in recent years and has been identified as a national public health epidemic.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgeries (RLSs) have become increasingly common in the past decade alongside conventional laparoscopic surgeries (CLSs).

Education on aspects of religion/spirituality is a required component of medical education. Osteopathic medical schools place an emphasis on the body, soul, and mind; however, it appears that the number of schools with an established curriculum of religion/spirituality is limited. A limited number of osteopathic medical schools providing formal curriculum on religion/spirituality points to a potential gap in education.

Agitation is among the most common behavioral symptoms in patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s dementia. It exacts a significant burden on patients because it is associated with not only greater morbidity and mortality, but also a faster cognitive and functional decline. This activity reviews pharmacological treatment options, both a newly approved agent that is the first ever to be indicated specifically for the treatment of agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease and also an array of agents in development.
