Abstract Background Hyperkalemia is common and potentially life threatening. Patiromer a Food Drug Administration (FDA)‐cleared oral potassium binder effective in the chronic treatment of hyperkalemia. Objective The objective was to investigate potential efficacy safety patiromer treating acute hyperkalemia emergency department (ED). Methods This single‐center, randomized, open‐label convenience sample pilot study an inner‐city ED. Adult patients with end‐stage renal disease serum level ≥...
Object Quality improvement methods are being implemented in various areas of medicine. In an effort to reduce the complex (instrumented) spine infection rate pediatric patients, a standardized protocol was developed and at institution with high case volume instrumented fusion procedures age group. Methods Members Texas Children's Hospital Spine Study Group incrementally by using current literature prior institutional experience until consensus obtained. The prospectively applied all children...
Abstract Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) allows removal of tumors en-bloc. Western adoption ESD has been hindered by its steep learning curve. data regarding curve are limited. We analyzed the a single endoscopist at tertiary referral center in United States. All consecutive ESDs performed States from 2015 through 2022 were identified. Descriptive statistics and CUSUM analysis used to describe for en-bloc, R0 resection, resection speed. In our study, 503 patients with 515 lesions...

OBJECTIVE Due to improved nutrition and early detection, myelomeningocele repair is a relatively uncommon procedure. Although previous studies have reviewed surgical trends predictors of outcomes, they relied largely on single-hospital experiences or databases centered hospital admission data. Here, the authors report 30-day outcomes pediatric patients undergoing postnatal from national prospective database. They sought investigate association between preoperative intraoperative factors...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the rates rebubbling after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and stripping (DSEK) between patients who had anterior chamber (AC) graft tamponade with 20% sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6) 6% perfluoropropane (C3F8). Methods: charts 431 undergoing EK from June 8, 2010, April 16, 2023, were reviewed. Patients alone as well combined procedures cataract extraction intraocular lens implantation included. Eyes tube shunts, lenses, large...
Abstract BACKGROUND Delayed hyponatremia is a common complication following transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) of pituitary lesions, which leads to significant patient morbidity, as well increased hospital costs associated with readmission. OBJECTIVE To report the effects fluid restriction, during postoperative period 4 d, decrease rates and readmissions for in cohort patients undergoing TSS. METHODS Because our observed hyponatremia, we implemented 1000-mL restriction limited days (POD) 8...
Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a novel diagnostic tool increasingly used in the field of infectious diseases. Little guidance available regarding its appropriate use different patient populations and clinical syndromes. We aimed to review utility mNGS patients with specific syndrome identify factors that may increase utility.
Efforts are underway to incorporate retinal neurodegeneration in the diabetic retinopathy severity scale. However, there is no established measure quantify (DRN).We compared total retinal, macular nerve fiber layer (mRNFL) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform (GC-IPL) thickness among participants with without diabetes (DM) a population-based cohort.Cross-sectional analysis, using UK Biobank data resource. Separate general linear mixed models (GLMM) were created DM glycated hemoglobin as...
To determine characteristics associated with self-management independence and quality of life (QOL) among adolescents young adults spina bifida (AYASB) engaged in a (SB) health care transition clinic.During SB visits, Eighty-eight AYASB ages 14-20 completed the Adolescent/Young Adult Self-management Independence Scale II Self-Report/SB (AMIS II-SR/SB), scores ranging from 1-7 7 indicating full activities, QUAlity Life Assessment Spina for Teens (QUALAS-T), which has two subscales,...
This study's purpose was to assess whether larger volumes of reinfused unwashed shed autologous blood (SAB) were associated with adverse events within 30 days for patients undergoing open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair. During TAAA repair, our institution uses a system wherein SAB is filtered, but not washed or centrifuged, and then returned the patient via rapid-infusion device. By reinfusing SAB, preserves patient's whole may reduce number allogenic transfusions required...
Aim To describe 30‐day outcomes after intrathecal baclofen ( ITB ) pump placement in children and identify risk factors for readmission, reoperation, perioperative complication using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program‐Pediatric (NSQIP‐P) database. Method Patients aged 0 to 18 years who underwent (2012–2014) comprised study cohort defined Multivariate regression analysis was performed preoperative data from American College of Surgeons’ NSQIP‐P Outcomes interest within 30 days...
