Abstract Background L atina mothers who care for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities ( IDD ) over the lifespan struggle to take of their own health needs in context caregiving experience. Services are typically aimed at persons not family caregivers. Yet, attending caregiver may contribute better long‐term remain home. To address this unmet need, we developed a culturally sensitive education intervention youth adults . The aim is improve maternal health‐related...
Prior research in vascular surgery has identified significant gender disparities leadership positions, but few data exist regarding publications. This study aims to evaluate authorship trends by the three highest impact factor journals.In this bibliometric analysis, PubMed was searched for articles published European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Annals Surgery from 2015 2019. The web-based application Genderize used predictive algorithms classify names first last authors as...
Surgical site infections (SSIs) cause a significant global public health burden in low and middle-income countries. Most SSIs develop after patient discharge may go undetected. We assessed the feasibility diagnostic accuracy of an mHealth-community worker (CHW) home-based telemedicine intervention to diagnose women who delivered via caesarean section rural Rwanda.This prospective cohort study included underwent at Kirehe District Hospital between September 2019 March 2020. At postoperative...
Abstract Introduction While it is recognized that there are costs associated with postoperative patient follow-up, risk assessments of catastrophic health expenditures (CHEs) due to surgery in sub-Saharan Africa rarely include expenses after discharge. We describe patient-level for cesarean section (c-section) and follow-up care up day (POD) 30 evaluate the contribution CHEs rural Rwanda. Methods interviewed women who delivered via c-section at Kirehe District Hospital between September 2019...
This report details a hybrid approach for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm in patient with Marfan syndrome. A 34-year-old syndrome and prior open thoracoabdominal repair underwent bilateral common iliac artery interposition graft endovascular repair. The bifurcated stent was implanted into the previous proximally grafts distally. Postoperatively, recovered uneventfully sac regression to 4.5cm through 2-year follow-up, without seal zone degeneration. aimed eliminate landing degeneration...
The thoracoabdominal multibranch endoprosthesis is a commercially available off-the-shelf four-vessel inner branched endograft for complex abdominal and aortic aneurysms. Type IIIb endoleak owing to fabric tear of fenestrated endovascular repair (FBEVAR) can be challenging, often requiring relining FBEVAR. Here, we present case where was used reline the previous physician modified FBEVAR in patient with 10-cm extent IV aneurysm distal open I repair.
The ability to detect surgical site infections (SSI) is a critical need for healthcare worldwide, but especially important in low-income countries, where there limited access health facilities and trained clinical staff. In this paper, we present new method of predicting SSI using thermal image collected with smart phone. Machine learning algorithms were developed images as part study that included 530 women rural Rwanda who underwent cesarean section surgery. Thermal approximately 10 days...
Abstract: This paper examines the adoption and diffusion of National Surgical Obstetric Anaesthesia Plans (NSOAPs), a policy instrument, to improve surgical healthcare services in low- middle-income countries (LMICs). It draws on recent trends health system reform empiricism understand NSOAP effectiveness for large-scale improvement objectives (surgical outcomes, patient satisfaction financial risk protection). While study reveals that has occurred several countries, its translation into...
Systematic data collection in high-income countries has demonstrated a decreasing burn morbidity and mortality, whereas lack of from low- middle-income hinders global overview epidemiology. In countries, dedicated registries are few. Instead, often recorded logbooks or as one variable trauma registries, where incomplete inconsistently information is known challenge. The University Teaching Hospital Kigali hosts the only unit Rwanda collected on patients admitted for acute care since 2005....
