Detailed recommendations and guidelines for acute pancreatitis (AP) management currently exist. However, quality indicators (QIs) are required to measure performance in health care. The goal of the Acute Pancreatitis Task Force on Quality was formally develop QIs patients with known or suspected AP using a modified version RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Methodology.A multidisciplinary expert panel composed physicians (gastroenterologists, hospitalists, surgeons) who acknowledged leaders their...
While there is growing evidence for the efficacy of SM to treat LBP, little known on mechanisms and physiologic effects these treatments. Accordingly, purpose this study was determine whether alters amplitude motor evoked potential (MEP) or short-latency stretch reflex erector spinae muscles, responses depend causes an audible joint sound. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation elicit MEPs electromechanical tapping reflexes in 10 patients with chronic LBP asymptomatic controls....
Objective Spin, the misrepresentation and distortion of research findings, has been shown to affect clinical decision making. Spin found in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published various fields medicine, but no study tested for presence spin otolaryngology RCTs. The purpose this is evaluate abstracts RCTs literature spin. Methods In cross‐sectional analysis, we analyzed using a pilot‐tested form. Double data extraction was performed by two blinded authors, discrepancies were resolved...
To compare laparoscope-assisted transvaginal removal of dermoid cysts to more standard laparoscopic cystectomy techniques.We conducted a retrospective review 44 removals performed at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center between 1992 and 1995. Cases were divided into three groups based on surgical approach: 1) conventional ovarian cystectomy, 2) the freed mass via colpotomy, 3) inspection, then colpotomy. Surgical time, estimated blood loss, cyst spillage, complications compared.There 11-19...
Introduction With efforts to combat opioid use disorder, there is an increased interest in clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for disorder treatments. No literature exists examining the quality of systematic reviews used CPGs. This study aims describe methodological and reporting clarity (SRs) create CPGs disorder. Methods From June July 2016 guideline clearinghouses medical databases were searched relevant treatment Included must have been recognized by a national organization. SRs from...
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of symptomatic walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON) usually has been performed with double pigtail plastic stents (DPS) and more recently, lumen-apposing metal (LAMS). However, LAMS are significantly expensive there no comparative studies DPS. Accordingly, we compared our experience combined endoscopic percutaneous (dual-modality [DMD]) for WON using versus DPS.Patients who underwent DMD between July 2011 June 2016 were a matched group treated Technical...
<b>Background and study aims: </b>Nonstricture benign biliary diseases (BBDs) such as leaks, perforations, bleeding, have been traditionally managed by placement of one or more plastic stents. Emerging data support the use covered, self-expandable, metal stents (CSEMSs). The aim this was to assess outcomes endoscopic temporary CSEMS in patients with nonstricture BBD. <b>Patients methods:</b> This a retrospective for BBD between May 2005 August 2013 at two tertiary care centers. main outcome...
This study analyzes whether 324 systematic reviews that contain at least 1 meta-analysis with 10 or more primary studies published in top otolaryngology journals do not evaluate for publication bias show evidence of such bias.
Epistaxis is a common otolaryngologic problem that affects most of the general population. Common risk factors for epistaxis include nasal irritants, nasal/facial oxygen use, certain systemic conditions (e.g., hypertension and coagulopathies) medication use anticoagulants intranasal medications). This study examined management in patients admitted other medical who developed an episode during their hospital admission.
Lumbar epidural analgesia is frequently associated with fetal heart rate abnormalities. Fluid preloading prior to the procedure significantly reduces incidence of abnormal patterns (p = 0.02). The mechanisms these changes are discussed and importance maternal hypotension evaluated. continuous electronic monitoring should be considered routine for all women undergoing this procedure.
