Efficiently caring for frail older adults will become an increasingly important part of health care reform;telemonitoring within homes may be answer to improve outcomes. This study sought assess differences in hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits among using telemonitoring vs usual care. A randomized controlled trial was performed than 60 years at high risk rehospitalization. Participants were (with daily input) or patient-driven Telemonitoring accomplished by...
Is it feasible to disseminate testicular tissue cryopreservation with a standardized protocol through coordinated network of centers and provide centralized processing/freezing for that do not have those capabilities? Centralized processing freezing from multiple sites is accelerates recruitment, providing the statistical power make inferences may inform fertility preservation practice. Several in USA abroad are preserving biopsies patients who cannot preserve sperm anticipation cell- or...

Introduction Lower urinary tract reconstruction in paediatric urology represents a physiologically stressful event that is associated with high complication rates, including readmissions and emergency room visits. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol set of multidisciplinary, perioperative strategies designed to expedite surgical without adversely impacting readmission or reoperation rates. Early data demonstrated ERAS reduced complications this population. Methods analysis In...

Abstract Background Childhood obesity is underdiagnosed in primary care practices. Our study aimed to compare rates of documentation diagnosis and counselling for nutrition physical activity at an academic practice prior following implementation a body mass index (BMI)‐based electronic point clinical reminder tool. Methods We performed retrospective record review children aged 2–18 years undergoing well child visits during any three calendar (2009, 2011 2013). The tool was implemented...
Introduction Regional techniques are a key component of multimodal analgesia and help decrease opioid use perioperatively, but some may not be suitable for all patients, such as those with spina bifida. We hypothesized peripheral regional catheters would reduce postoperative compared no without increasing pain scores in pediatric patients bifida undergoing major urological surgery. Methods A retrospective review multicenter database established the study enhanced recovery after surgery was...
Percutaneous stone surgery can be challenging in spina bifida (SB) patients due to their body habitus and spinal cord anomalies. A safe surgical approach may necessitate acceptance of lower stone-free (SF) rates. We seek determine if anatomic complexity, as measured by curvature torso length, is associated with SF rates after percutaneous SB patients. hypothesize that increasing complexity following surgery.We retrospectively reviewed all cases nephrolithotomy (PCNL) cystolitholapaxy (PC) at...
