BACKGROUND: A history of SARS-CoV-2 infection has been reported to be associated with an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Even mild PPCs can elevate the rates of early postoperative mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and prolong the length of ICU and/or hospital stays. Consequently, it is crucial to develop perioperative management strategies that can mitigate these increased risks in surgical patients who have recently been infected with SARS-CoV-2...

PURPOSE: Aspiration pneumonia (AP) has significant incidence and impact on mortality. However, data about clinical diagnosis criteria are scarce. We aimed to evaluate according to predefined criteria the prevalence of true AP and its impact on antibiotic stewardship. METHODS: Retrospective study of patients whose main diagnosis was AP hospitalized at Amiens University Hospital in 2018. We first defined diagnostic criteria of certainty for pneumonia and aspiration...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: A not uncommon finding following spine surgery is that many patients do not achieve mental health improvement up to population norms for their age cohort, despite improvement in pain and functioning. PURPOSE: This study examined how patients who were categorized as depressed vs not depressed think about health-related quality of life as assessed by cognitive-appraisal processes. It examined cross-sectional and longitudinal differences over 12 months post-surgery...

PURPOSE: To assess the analgesic and anxiolytic effects of virtual reality (VR) augmentation in patients undergoing peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) or fine-needle aspiration (FNA) thyroid biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective single center RCT with 107 patients enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned to receive standard of care (SOC) or SOC+VR during PICC or thyroid biopsy procedures. Pain and anxiety were individually measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after the procedure...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between intrapartum nitrous oxide use and adverse short-term neonatal outcomes. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of individuals with singleton gestations at 35 or more weeks who attempted labor and delivered at an academic hospital between June 1, 2015, and February 28, 2020. Data were extracted from the electronic medical record using billing and diagnostic codes. Patients were classified based on whether they received no intrapartum analgesia or received nitrous oxide only...

BACKGROUND: Newborn anogenital distance (AGD) has been associated with prenatal exposure of phthalates. The association between prenatal phthalate exposure and sex steroid hormones in newborns is unclear. OBJECT: This study aimed to examine whether cord-blood sex hormone levels were associated with prenatal phthalate exposure and newborn anogenital distance (AGD). METHODS: In the Taiwan Maternal and Infant Cohort Study, we recruited 1,676 pregnant women in their third trimester in 2012-2015 in Taiwan...

Poisoning is often suspected to be the origin of disease in South American camelids (SACs) by owners, but only in a few cases this assumption can be confirmed. In small ruminants, rhododendron poisoning is a common emergency for livestock veterinarians. However, this condition has rarely been reported in SACs so far. This paper provides information regarding clinical findings, hematology, clinical chemistry, and treatment of four alpacas after presumed intake of rhododendron leaves including pathological findings of one of the animals...

BACKGROUND Bilious vomiting in a child potentially portends the dire emergency of intestinal malrotation with volvulus, necessitating prompt surgical management, with differentials including small-bowel atresia, duodenal stenosis, annular pancreas, and intussusception. Although the upper-gastrointestinal series (UGI) is the diagnostic investigation of choice, up to 15% of the studies are inconclusive, thereby posing a diagnostic challenge. CASE REPORT We report a case series of 3 children referred for bilious vomiting, whose initial UGI was inconclusive and who were eventually confirmed to have intestinal malrotation at surgery...

Appendicitis is an inflammatory condition of the appendix. Patients typically present with migratory right iliac fossa pain, reduced appetite, fever, nausea and vomiting. Despite its characteristic presentation, diagnosis remains challenging, particularly in cases where there has been unrelated prior surgery which may obscure the clinical picture. We present a case of a 59-year-old male who had three previous needle aspirations following a pelvic and inguinal lymph node dissection for metastatic melanoma subsequently presenting with a further episode of right iliac fossa pain...

BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of lateral cervical lymph node metastasis (LLNM) involvement is important for treating papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Thyroglobulin is associated with LLNM, but there may be differences in the diagnostic value of serum thyroglobulin (sTg) and fine needle aspiration washout fluid thyroglobulin (FNA-Tg). Herein, we investigated the optimal cutoff value (OCV) of sTg and FNA-Tg and their diagnostic performance. METHODS: We enrolled 116 PTC patients who underwent radical resection of thyroid carcinoma with lateral cervical lymph node dissection at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from June 2018 to July 2022...

The WHO's "End TB" initiative aims to reduce catastrophic expenses, incidence, and mortality by 90%, 80%, and 0%, respectively by 2030 and Government of India has committed to reaching these goals by 2025. Despite tremendous progress, tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the main public health issues. To limit TB transmission and expedite reduction in incidence, further measures are needed. These milestones and objectives remain aspirational until we achieve "Universal access" to high-quality TB diagnosis and treatment...

Melanomas arise de novo or in the context of a precursor lesion. Lesions typically grow radially and then undergo a vertical growth phase proceeding to local invasion and metastasis. This review describes the utility of different imaging modalities in diagnosis and melanocytic lesion monitoring. A literature search was performed in November 2023 utilizing EMBASE, Medline, and PubMed. The PRISMA diagram demonstrates the review process. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) utilizes near-infrared light to help diagnose dermatologic lesions...

Purpose This study aims to assess the significance of imaging techniques and needle thickness employed in transthoracic core needle biopsy for determining the cancer type and subtypes, ultimately guiding the treatment of lung cancer. Material and methods Between 2018 and 2023, a cohort of 350 patients (69.7% male, 30.3% female) underwent CT-guided lung biopsy, predominantly utilizing core biopsies. Fine needle aspiration biopsies employed 18 or 20 G Chiba needles, while core needle biopsies utilized 16 or 18-gauge coaxial system semi-automatic needles...

BACKGROUND: The field of implementation science has significantly expanded in size and scope over the past two decades, although work related to understanding implementation processes have of course long preceded the more systematic efforts to improve integration of evidence-based interventions into practice settings. While this growth has had significant benefits to research, practice, and policy, there are some clear challenges that this period of adolescence has uncovered. MAIN BODY: This invited commentary reflects on the development of implementation science, its rapid growth, and milestones in its establishment as a viable component of the biomedical research enterprise...

BACKGROUND: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous axillary vein cannulation can reduce cannulation failure and mechanical complications, is as safe and effective as internal jugular vein cannulation, and is superior to subclavian vein cannulation using landmark technique. As far, reports of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) with percutaneous axillary vein cannulation are rare.

Previous studies have found that adolescents and their parents may hold discrepant views about educational aspirations. However, little is known about how these discrepancies affect adolescents' internalizing problems and the moderating effect of SES on the relation between (in)congruence of parent-child educational aspirations and adolescents' internalizing problems. Therefore, this study explored the relation between (in)congruence of parent-child educational aspirations and adolescents' internalizing problems, and further tested the moderating role of SES...
