    Can behavioral therapies assist with cannabis use disorder?
    (Wolters Kluwer, 2023-04) Adame, John D.; Jhon, Nogales-Pimienta; Poonia, Jasmin; Family Medicine, School of Medicine
    Psychosocial/behavioral interventions (primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational enhancement therapy) decrease cannabis use frequency (SOR: A, systematic reviews with meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials [RCTs]). Digital treatment interventions are also effective in reducing cannabis use, albeit with a small overall effect size (SOR: A, systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs).

    Long Arm Splinting
    (StatPearls Publishing, 2023) Walthall, Joel; Adame, John D.; Varacallo, Matthew; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Long arm splints are used in a variety of settings for immobilization of both bony and soft tissue injuries to the upper extremities. This type of splint provides immobilization to the elbow and the wrist. As a result, elbow flexion and extension and wrist flexion, extension, forearm supination/pronation can be restricted. Long arm splints are often the initial form of immobilization placed on an injured limb to accommodate soft tissue swelling before more definitive treatment with a cast or surgical fixation. This activity presents the indications for a long arm splint and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the management of patients with arm pathology. Objectives: * Identify the technique of a long arm splint. * Describe the indications of a long arm splint. * Review the complications of a long arm splint. * Summarize interprofessional team strategies for improving care coordination and communication to advance the safe use of a long arm splint and improve outcomes.
