Ho-Man Yeung, Shreya Makkapati
The opioid epidemic continues to influence the field of medicine, creating new challenges and obstacles to quality care. Patients with injection drug use are marginalized individuals who received poor quality of care and often discharged without safe recovery plan. Cooperation between physicians and patients allow the best outcomes for the patient, the physician, and society, however we often see patient-directed discharges and inadequate care. We believe that this result is due to an incentive model in the decision-making process that ultimately makes cooperation difficult...

This case report outlines the successful management of post-traumatic arthritis (PTA) in the left hip of a 60-year-old male with a history of a subtrochanteric femur fracture treated with Jewett Nail Plate osteosynthesis four decades ago. Despite seeking relief from various healthcare facilities and attempting alternative therapies, the patient experienced persistent pain and limited mobility. The decision was made to perform elective implant removal followed by total hip arthroplasty (THA). The surgical intervention involved a modified posterior approach, addressing specific challenges such as acetabular superior wall deficit and femoral sclerosis...

AIMS: The Health in Smart Rurality Interreg project aims to assess the feasibility of telemonitoring in rural areas across the Franco-Belgian border among patients affected by heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The objectives were to better understand strengths or barriers to implementing telemonitoring for early detection of potential adverse events, for improving quality of life, communication, and care coordination. METHODS: Using a prospective 6-month observational design, interconnected pads were provided to community-dwelling adults aged over 60 years...

BACKGROUND: Previous preclinical studies have demonstrated sex-specific alterations in the gut microbiome following traumatic injury or sepsis alone; however, the impact of host sex on dysbiosis in the setting of postinjury sepsis acutely is unknown. We hypothesized that multicompartmental injury with subsequent pneumonia would result in host sex-specific dysbiosis. METHODS: Male and proestrus female Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 8/group) were subjected to either polytrauma (PT) (lung contusion, hemorrhagic shock, cecectomy, bifemoral pseudofracture), PT plus 2-hours daily restraint stress (PT/RS), PT with postinjury day 1 pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia (PT + PNA), PT/RS with pneumonia (PT/RS + PNA), or naive controls...

PURPOSE: At our institution's cancer palliative care (PC) clinic, new referrals from oncologists were scheduled for consultation and ongoing follow-up by PC physicians without input from the patients' family physicians (FPs). FPs reported that they felt out of the loop. We implemented a quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed at systematically facilitating care coordination between FPs and PC physicians. METHODS: A coordination toolkit was sent from the PC physician to the FP whenever the PC physician received a consultation request from an oncologist...

Primary care is crucial to the health of people with mental illness. However, there is limited information on their reported engagement in this setting. This study surveyed 100 people with mental illness who had a general practitioner or a general practitioner and a case manager from a tertiary mental health service to determine their engagement level with their GP and what interventions they received to manage their health. Forty-four per cent had their psychotropic medications primarily prescribed by their GP, and 58% reported visiting their GP for physical health problems...

INTRODUCTION: According to the Global Adult Tobacco Survey-2, India, 7.5% of pregnant women are tobacco users with a high prevalence of smokeless tobacco use in rural India. Although pregnant women may receive advice to quit tobacco, lack of knowledge on providing cessation support among healthcare workers results in missed opportunities. Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a significant role in maternal and child health (MCH) programs. Thus, task-shifting for providing cessation support by CHWs was planned and the perceptions and attitudes of concerned stakeholders were explored...

Wound healing is an intricate process involving coordinated interactions among inflammatory cells, skin fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells. Successful tissue repair hinges on controlled inflammation, angiogenesis, and remodeling facilitated by the exchange of cytokines and growth factors. Comorbid conditions can disrupt this process, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for enhancing wound healing, utilizing cells from diverse sources such as endothelial progenitor cells, bone marrow, adipose tissue, dermal, and inducible pluripotent stem cells...

In recent years, the escalating attention on Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) and Heavy Metals in urban stormwater runoff highlights the critical role of Road-deposited sediments (RDS) as a significant carrier for pollutant occurrence and transport in runoff. However, existing research has overlooked the composite characteristics of PPCPs and Heavy Metals, hampering a holistic understanding of their transformation in diverse forms within runoff. This limitation impedes the exploration of their subsequent migration and conversion properties, thereby obstructing coordinated strategies for the control of co-pollution in runoff...

INTRODUCTION: The supply of medical aids is essential for patients with home mechanical ventilation. However, it is largely unclear to what extent this supply is needs-based and safe. METHODS: As part of a health services research project, 20 expert interviews were conducted with a heterogeneous group of stakeholders related to ventilation-specific medical aids supply. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis.

For people with HIV (PWH) who have psychological comorbidities, effective management of mental health issues is crucial to achieving and maintaining viral suppression. Care coordination programs (CCPs) have been shown to improve outcomes across the HIV care continuum, but little research has focused on the role of care coordination in supporting the mental health of PWH. This study reports qualitative findings from the Program Refinements to Optimize Model Impact and Scalability based on Evidence (PROMISE) study, which evaluated a revised version of an HIV CCP for Ryan White Part A clients in New York City...

Beyond training providers prior to the roll-out of coordinated specialty care (CSC) for first-episode psychosis in clinical settings, implementation support for data-informed care remains an area that has received very little attention. The current paper describes the development and refinement of implementation support for the data-driven components of care in the New Journeys network, Washington State's CSC model for psychosis, comprised of 14 CSC programs. Using the Evidence-Based System for Innovation Support Logic Model, this paper outlines the individual components for implementation support, tools, training, technical assistance, and quality improvement/evaluation that have been developed for the New Journeys network...
