Abstract Background Accurate assessment of surgical-site infection (SSI) is crucial for surveillance and research. Self-reporting patient measures are needed because current SSI tools limited assessing patients after leaving hospital. The Bluebelle Wound Healing Questionnaire (WHQ) was developed or observer completion; this study tested its acceptability, scale structure, reliability validity in with closed primary wounds abdominal surgery. Methods Patients completed the WHQ...
Surgical site infection (SSI) affects up to 20% of people with a primary closed wound after surgery. Wound dressings may reduce SSI. To assess the feasibility multicentre randomised controlled trial (RCT) evaluate effectiveness and cost-effectiveness dressing types or no SSI in surgical wounds. Phase A - semistructured interviews, outcome measure development, practice survey, literature reviews value-of-information analysis. B pilot RCT qualitative research questionnaire validation. Patients...
Breast cancer treatment has made remarkable progress in recent years, resulting improved survival rates.Radiotherapy is an integral part of the plan for most patients with breast cancer, as it effectively reduces local recurrence and improves overall survival.But radiotherapy can cause damage to heart surrounding structures, leading long-term cardiovascular complications, including coronary artery disease, failure, valvular dysfunction.The severity cardiotoxicity depends
Introduction: Refractory gastroparesis is a debilitating medical condition for patients affected. Gastric per-oral pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) continues to have clinical success and recently emerged as part of the standard treatment algorithm gastroparesis. Currently, there are no widely accepted protocols G-POEM most centers routinely perform this procedure under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. This single-center pilot study evaluates safety feasibility performing MAC sedation....
