•Youth respond honestly to screening questions about gun violence exposure.•Violence prevention programs are open partnering with primary care clinics for referrals.•Clinicians believe that is important and helps identify at-risk youth. IntroductionThe aim of this study was assess a modified exposure tool at pediatric clinic on the West Side Chicago youth high risk future violence.MethodsA version SaFETy tool, studied in community setting, implemented from June August 2021. Patients...
Prior studies in social determinants (SDoH) of truncal-extremity melanomas (TEM) have analyzed race, income, and environmental factors relative to their effect on health disparities. However, they are limited by the narrow scopes SDoH study population, while lacking analyses interrelational contribution TEM
BackgroundTranscatheter mitral valve-in-valve (MViV) replacement has emerged as an alternative to redo valve (MV) surgery for the management of failed bioprosthetic MVs. The degree cardiac remodeling assessed by echocardiography been shown have prognostic implications in degenerative regurgitation patients undergoing MV surgery. impact transcatheter MViV with failure on and its associated prognosis remains undescribed.ObjectivesThe aim this study is describe early anatomic functional changes...
The COVID-19 pandemic has renewed the discussion on importance of health long term well-being any economy. It also been a challenging time, having hurt economies in world already seeing declining economic growth. While vaccination globally picking up speed, this paper is an attempt to establish relationship between income levels different Indian states and its empirical effect healthcare outcomes policy implementation through study indicators such as Infant Mortality rate pre-pandemic...
We present unusual coronary-pulmonary collaterals in a 65-year-old CTEPH patient. Perfusion mapping of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) study revealed areas right lung that were minimally perfused despite unilateral occlusion the pulmonary artery, leading to discovery via invasive coronary angiography. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy removed clot en-bloc. Post-surgery DECT and catheterization confirmed restoration arterial circulation excellent hemodynamic response. Here, suggestion...
In 2014, Ontario passed Bill 21: Safeguarding Healthcare Integrity Act, which enacted the Voluntary Blood Donations to ban all forms of compensation for donations blood and components. justified this action by invoking principles 1997 Krever Commission, defined as a public resource such value importance that it must remain under singular control an organization only serves interest. This reform was introduced with intention prevent another health disaster like tainted scandal in 1980s,...
Background: Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICDs) are an alternative to transvenous ICDs for patients without a need cardiac pacing. Obese have been proposed be at higher risk conversion failure with S-ICDs due subcutaneous fat underneath the device. Optimal device positioning may promote equivalent outcomes between obese and non-obese by minimizing effects of excess adipose tissue.Objectives: To assess whether optimal S-ICD implantation technique, as measured...
Introduction: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is classified as group 4 where unresolved disease obstructs the artery. The resultant lung ischemia commonly leads to bronchopulmonary collateralization thought lower vascular resistance and reduce mortality. Here, we present a rare presentation of coronary-pulmonary collaterals in 65-year-old former 40-pack year smoker with CTEPH, COPD requiring oxygen, AF, DHF. Results: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) showed...
Introduction: Bacterial infections are common after ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation. Better understanding of their epidemiology in bridge-to-transplant (BTT) pts will allow for improved infection prevention, management, and optimization transplantation. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study 42 BTT with VAD from 4/2006-10/2020. VAD-specific VAD-related were characterized according to 2011 ISHLT definitions. Infections classified as early if occurring ≤ 90 days, late...
