Background: Studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and sudden death (SCD) use emergency medical services records, certificates, or definitions that infer cause death; thus, the true incidence SCD is unknown. Over 90% SCDs occur out-of-hospital; nonforensic autopsies are rarely performed, therefore causes presumed. We conducted a examiner–based investigation to determine precise autopsy-defined all in an entire metropolitan area. hypothesized postmortem would identify actual arrhythmic...
Background Cytokine release triggered by a hyperactive immune response is thought to contribute severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2019 (SARS-CoV-2)–related failure. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) involved in innate immunity, and BTK inhibitors block cytokine release. We assessed the next-generation inhibitor zanubrutinib SARS-CoV-2–infected patients with distress. Method Cohort 1 had prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design; cohort 2 single-arm design....
<h3>Importance</h3> Interrogations and autopsies of sudden deaths with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are rarely performed. Therefore, causes these the incidence device failure unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine death in individuals CIEDs a prospective autopsy study all over 35 months as part San Francisco, California, Postmortem Systematic Investigation Sudden Cardiac Death (POST SCD) study. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Full autopsy, toxicology, histology,...
Studies have suggested that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to examine risk profiles in women PCOS compared healthy age and weight matched control subjects using novel biochemical biophysical markers.After ethics committee approval, 11 12 controls were recruited (mean age, 32; SD, 6.5 years; mean body mass index (BMI), 33.1; 5.9 kg/m2). Serum analysed for lipid lipoprotein profile (total high density cholesterol,...
Importance Timely access to care is a key metric for health systems and particularly important in conditions that acutely worsen with delays care, including surgical emergencies. However, the association between travel time emergency risk complex presentation poorly understood. Objective To evaluate impact of on disease complexity at among people general surgery whether was associated clinical outcomes measures increased resource utilization. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective...
BACKGROUND National estimates of financial hardship because injury are lacking, which limits our ability to both define and mitigate the impacts outcomes trauma care. Furthermore, absence preinjury data understanding association between hardship. METHODS We analyzed from 2014–2021 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. compared injured adults (18–64 years old) uninjured controls using coarsened-exact matching on age, sex, race/ethnicity, income, payer, survey panel, comorbidities. Our main...
Objective: We sought to evaluate associations between rural training exposure during surgical residency and eventual practice in a community, whether specific types of were more likely yield surgeons. Background: Growing deficits the surgery workforce have prompted increased attention toward training. However, association communities remains limited. Methods: performed retrospective cohort study US general graduates from 2011-2020. Program information was abstracted websites, American...
Objective: To describe the experience of uninsured and Medicaid Oregon tobacco users who registered in Free & Clear (F&C), a telephone based cessation programme including five scheduled outbound calls. Design setting: Using retrospective cohort design, 1334 (423 uninsured, 806 Medicaid, 105 commercially insured) F&C between 18 November 1998 28 February 2000 were identified followed for 12 months post-registration; 648 (48.6%) successfully contacted at months. Information was...
To evaluate the association between U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) communication discouraging use of power morcellators on changes in surgical practice for women with uterine leiomyomas.This is a cross-sectional study using data from 2013 to 2014 Healthcare Cost Utilization Project State Inpatient Ambulatory Surgical Databases Arizona, Florida, Kentucky, New Jersey. Women diagnosis leiomyomas who underwent hysterectomy or myomectomy were included analysis. Multivariable models used...
We compared the Ambu aScope™ with a conventional fibrescope in two simulated settings. First, 22 volunteers performed paired oral and nasal fibreoptic intubations three different manikins: Laerdal Airway Trainer, Bill 1 Airsim (a total of 264 intubations). Second, 21 intubated Trainer manikin via supraglottic airways: classic intubating laryngeal mask airways i-gel 66 Performance aScope was good few failures infrequent problems. In first study, choice had an impact on number user-reported...
Abstract Background Identification of patients at high risk surgical-site infections may allow surgeons to minimize associated morbidity. However, there are significant concerns regarding the methodological quality and transportability models previously developed. The aim this study was develop a novel score predict 30-day infection after gastrointestinal surgery across global context externally validate against existing models. Methods This secondary analysis two prospective international...
BACKGROUND Early transfer to specialized centers improves trauma and burn outcomes; however, overtriage can result in unnecessary burdens patients, providers, health systems. Our institution developed novel triage pathways 2016 improve resource allocation. We evaluated the implementation of these pathways, analyzing trends adoption, optimization, pathway reliability after implementation. METHODS Triage consist nurses (RNs) triaging calls based on review images clinical history: green for...
This Viewpoint highlights the need for standardization in rural surgery training and suggests specific strategies to address this issue.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine condition associated with risk of infertility and endometrial hyperplasia. Women PCOS demonstrate varying degrees menstrual cycle dysfunction ranging from frank oligo-amenorrhea to regular cycles. Variations in status suggest differences significant fertility potential long-term health risks for women milder phenotypes. The establishment ovulatory anovulatory phenotypes warrants better understanding development PCOS. present study...
