Background: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the impact bilateral free flap breast reconstruction on abdominal wall. This is second installation a two-part series. Presented here are combinations three techniques: muscle-sparing transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap, deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) and superficial artery (SIEA) flap. Methods: A blinded prospective cohort performed involving 234 patients. Patients were evaluated preoperatively for 1...
The purpose of this two-part study was to demonstrate the impact free flap breast reconstruction on abdominal wall. In Part I, authors present results for unilateral techniques.A blinded, prospective, cohort performed involving 234 patients. Patients were evaluated preoperatively, and followed 1 year. At each encounter, patients underwent strength testing using Upper Lower Rectus Abdominis Manual Muscle Function Test, Functional Independence Measure, psychometric 36-Item Short-Form Health...
Despite physicians’ near monopoly over medicalization historically, various stakeholder groups shape an increasingly complex process today. This study examines a relatively new initiative, “health coaching,” within the context of changing nature medicalization. Utilizing 51 in-depth interviews with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) coaches, participant observation from seven ADHD symposia, and coach publications, I examine coaching’s emergence as partial challenge to Findings...
Background: Due to perceived medical and surgical risk, patients of advanced age may not be offered free flap breast reconstruction. The purpose this study was determine whether complications are actually higher in age. Methods: A review 1031 muscle-sparing transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous, deep inferior epigastric perforator, superficial artery flaps over 15 years performed. There were 976 younger than 65 55 aged older. Population variables, operative outcome variables compared....
Falls are a persistent problem in all healthcare settings, with rates acute care hospitals ranging from 1.3 to 8.9 falls per 1,000 inpatient days, about 30% resulting serious injury.A 30-day prospective pilot study was conducted on two units pre- and postimplementation evaluation determine the impact of patient-centered proactive hourly rounding patient as part Lean Six Sigma process improvement project. Nurse leaders staff champion Unit 1 were involved start implementation period, while 2...
While the effects of social stratification by gender, race, class, and ethnicity on health inequalities are well-documented, our understanding intersecting consequences these dimensions diagnosis remains limited. This is particularly case in studies mental health, where "paradoxical" patterns have been identified. Using a Bayesian multi-level random-effects Poisson model nationally representative random sample 138,009 households from National Survey Children's Health, this study updates...
THIS IS A COMMENT MODERATED PAPER available at http://www.bjui.org/commentary Study Type – Therapy (case series) Level of Evidence 4 What’s known on the subject? and What does study add? Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is a prognostic marker for biologically aggressive disease in numerous tumour types. Indeed, studies have documented negative value LVI bladder cancer patients who undergone radical cystectomy, however few evaluated TURBT. The current examines both concordance between presence...
Using data from the first wave of Portraits American Life Study (PALS), we consider extent to which people report that religious factors influence their decisions about career choice, marriage, residency, and number children. We find significant positive relationships between importance religion or faith perceived on one's choice occupation, decision whether whom marry, where live, how many children have. also observe interactions tradition, but no consistent patterns across our...
Trauma centers are increasingly tasked with evaluating patients who have sustained low-acuity mechanisms of injury, such as fall from standing (FFS). Previous studies shown that low-level falls associated a high incidence injury in certain patient groups. The purpose the current study was to assess risk factors brain and death after position only.A retrospective analysis performed on all presented FFS mechanism 2000 2005. Demographic variables, past medical history, use warfarin,...
To assess the perceptions of residents and RNs about effects a medical emergency team on patient safety their own educational experiences.Survey-based study.A single academic center.In 2007, 1 yr after introduction team, Web-based survey was administered to 141 internal medicine general surgery 497 in center. Residents' RNs' beliefs education were measured using 12 Likert scale items. Group differences assessed Mann-Whitney U test Kruskal-Wallis test.The overall response rate 79% (67% for...
Postoperative incontinence is multifactorial after radical prostatectomy. Using endorectal coil MRI, we examined features of the male urethra and accompanying muscular sphincter to predict continence robot-assisted prostatectomy (RARP).80 patients underwent preoperative 1.5 Tesla MRI. Urethral length was measured in coronal plane. All RARP. Questionnaires were completed by at monthly intervals. The primary end point time defined as necessitating 0 1 pad per day (PPD). Statistical analysis...
To assess the prognostic significance of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) on clinical outcomes in patients with transitional cell carcinoma bladder treated radical cystectomy (RC).We retrospectively evaluated a prospectively maintained and authorised database; presence or absence LVI was determined by pathological examination RC specimen. Cox regression analysis Kaplan-Meier tables were developed to evaluate contribution outcomes.In all, we analysed 356 urinary diversion between 1988 2006, mean...
