Studies on time cells in the hippocampus have so far focused area CA1 animals performing memory tasks. Some studies suggested that temporal processing within may be exclusive to and CA2, but not CA3, occur only under strong demands for memory. Here we examined spatial coding properties of CA3 neurons rats a maze task demanded working control with no explicit demand. In demanding task, exhibited robust modulation similar pattern cell activity CA1, same populations also typical place patterns...
Background: Patient falls are a major problem in hospitals. The development of Patient-Centered Fall Prevention Toolkit, TIPS (Tailoring Interventions for Safety), reduced by 25% acute care hospitals leveraging health information technology to complete the 3-step fall prevention process—(1) conduct risk assessments; (2) develop tailored plans with evidence-based interventions; and (3) consistently implement plan. We learned that was most effective when patients family were engaged all 3...
Many hospital systems in the United States report injurious inpatient falls using National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators categories: None, Minor, Moderate, Major, and Death. The Major category is imprecise, including injuries ranging from a wrist fracture to potentially fatal subdural hematoma. purpose this project was refine injury classification derive valid reliable categorization types severities fall-related injuries.Based on published literature ranking fall incident reports...
Falls are a serious, persistent problem in hospitals. Ensuring that all hospital staff have adequate knowledge of how to prevent falls is the first step prevention. We identified validated fall prevention tests (FPKTs) and planned conduct systematic literature review. When review lack FPKTs, we developed evaluated FPKT, confirmed its conceptual framework, content domain, drafted test items, devised format, selected items for empirical examination, conducted psychometric evaluation. randomly...
This case report applied principles from the data visualization (DV) literature and feedback nurses to develop an effective display adherence with evidence-based fall prevention program. We tested usability of original revised reports using a Health Information Technology Usability Evaluation Scale (Health-ITUES) customized for this project. Items were rated on 5-point Likert scale, strongly disagree (1) agree (5). The emphasized that ideal maximizes information communicated, minimizes...
Background: Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations and deaths among older adults globally. Local problem: About 24% Canadian nursing home residents fall annually. This quality improvement project evaluated impact Fall Tailoring Interventions for Patient Safety (TIPS) program on preventing falls fall-related injuries adult in a subacute care unit Canada. Methods: We used Standards Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence (SQUIRE) 2.0 guidelines reporting. The...
Falls represent a persistent and costly patient safety issue. Fall TIPS (Tailored Interventions for Patient Safety) is patient-centered clinical decision-supported, fall prevention program that has led to fewer falls related injuries among hospitalized patients. We aimed identify dominant facilitators barriers adoption. This multisite qualitative study was conducted in 11 hospitals representing three academic health systems, where had been implemented at least one year. Interviews with 50...
Objectives Fall TIPS (Tailoring Interventions for Patient Safety) is an evidence-based fall prevention program that led to a 25% reduction in falls hospitalized adults. Because it would be helpful assess nurses’ perceptions of burdens imposed on them by using or other program, we conducted study learn benefits and burdens. Methods A 3-phase mixed-method was at 3 hospitals Massachusetts New York: (1) initial qualitative, elicited categorized views time spent implementing TIPS; (2) second used...
Objective There is a lack of research on adverse event (AE) detection in oncology patients, despite the propensity for iatrogenic harm. Two common methods include voluntary safety reporting (VSR) and chart review tools, such as Institute Healthcare Improvement’s Global Trigger Tool (GTT). Our objective was to compare frequency type AEs detected by modified GTT compared with VSR identifying patients larger clinical trial. Methods Patients across 6 units (from July 1, 2013, through May 29,...
Abstract Background/Objectives To assess nurses' opinions of the efficacy using FallTIPS (Tailoring Interventions for Patient Safety) fall prevention program. Design Survey research. Setting Seven adult acute‐care hospitals in 2 hospital centers located Boston and NYC. Participants A total 298 medical‐surgical nurses on 14 randomly selected units. Intervention Three‐step program that had been use as a clinical minimum years each hospital. Measurements Fall Prevention Efficiency Scale (FPES),...
Obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2, complicates maternal and neonatal outcomes. Bariatric surgery (BS) is an option for weight reduction in several populations, including reproductive-aged women. However, there a lack of consensus regarding the ideal time interval between BS pregnancy. We report case 43-year-old Hispanic female who underwent initial Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) 2011, followed by revision eight years later 2019. The entailed pouch size excision remnant...

Following coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), many patients experience acute complications and long-term sequelae. Acute include respiratory failure, myocardial injury, neurological complications. Respiratory thromboembolic prove to be changes that cause detrimental outcomes. A continued exploration of the COVID-19 hospital course will allow for effective management treatment virus. We report case a 48-year-old Hispanic woman who experienced pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis in all...
A 49-year-old female presented to the hospital with complaints of generalized weakness, subjective fevers, and chills. In emergency department (ED), she was found be hypotensive tachycardic met sepsis criteria. CT scan abdomen pelvis (CT A/P) contrast revealed a liver abscess foreign body (FB) that suspected cause abscess. Of note, patient had undergone recent dental procedure due an infected root canal, which involved screw. The uncertain whether screw been removed, but felt as though it no...
