I am starting to accept this idea that 30 minutes of writing is better than nothing. Writing doesn’t have to only occur during larger scheduled times. Orthopaedic Research Society annual meeting abstract submission nearing complete first iteration.

Celebrating what I hope to be many funded grant proposals. I am lucky to be a small part of a very accomplished team. #phdlife #utsw #utswshp

Excited for my first ORS conference and the opportunity to share some our work. #ORS2023 #phdstudent

NIH F31 application officially submitted. Awarded or not, I look forward investigating the impact of rotator cuff tears on muscle fatigue.

This was the first scientific article I have shared with my wife. As a former full-time clinician who jumped into a full-time Ph.D program, this article allowed for heavy confirmation bias and further reassurance. doi.org/10.1093/ptj/pz…

Excited to have some of my early Ph.D. work presented at the 15th International Congress on Shoulder and Elbow Surgery. #ICSES #ICSET

Congrats to #orthopaedicresearcher, Johnny Lin, Ph.D., on his team’s scoping review being accepted to publish in #Diagnostics. Dr. Lin collaborated with faculty from #UTSWOrtho, UTSWPM&R, and #UTSW Applied Clinical Research on this article. 🔗: bit.ly/3CpVljA #UTSW

If you’re lucky enough to be in Rome for #ICSES #ICSET, see my colleague present our work on the use of a neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio to gain insight into post-op pain and function following shoulder arthroplasty.

While there is plenty of work yet to be done before the first participant is enrolled, today marked a significant milestone.

#NewPublication 💡The Use of Dixon Magnetic Resonance Imaging Methods for the Quantification of Rotator Cuff Fatty Infiltration: A Systematic Review mdpi.com/2813-0413/3/2/… ✍️by Andrew J. Nasr et al. #MRI #shoulder #atrophy #MuscleDegeneration

New #UTSWOrtho study reviews Dixon MRI methods for quantifying #rotatorcuff fatty infiltration. Findings show Dixon provides accurate fat fraction calculations, potentially enhancing treatment decisions for rotator cuff tears. Read more: bit.ly/4aI2VVm #UTSW

Can the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio predict pain and function post-reverse total #shoulderarthroplasty? A new #UTSWOrtho study investigates its potential to identify patients at risk for chronic pain and limitations. Read more: bit.ly/45W0nSG #UTSW #orthopaedics
