A Blueprint for Developing a Concentration in Ambulatory Care Within the PharmD Curriculum

ABSTRACT The US healthcare system is grappling with significant challenges, notably a shortage of primary care providers. Ambulatory care pharmacists are increasingly recognized as vital contributors to addressing these challenges. The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education...

Adjuvant Systemic Hypothermia During Mechanical Thrombectomy (ReCCLAIM II): A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: Hypothermia reduces ischemic injury in preclinical stroke models, yet translation into the clinical setting remains challenging. We aimed to assess the feasibility of inducing adjuvant systemic hypothermia among patients with large-vessel occlusion stroke during mecha...

Long-Term Complications and Secondary Procedures After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Ankle Fractures: A Descriptive Epidemiologic Study of Over 50,000 Patients.

Background Ankle fractures account for ~10% of fractures, ~40% treated operatively, yet absolute long-horizon complication and secondary-procedure estimates by fracture pattern and comorbidity remain limited. Prior series generally left decedents in the denominator as though stil...

A Scoping Review of Psychological Distress Outcomes in NICU Healthcare Providers

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a demanding work environment that provides medical care for acutely ill and premature infants while supporting parents experiencing significant stress and psychological distress. This scoping review is the first to examine quantitative r...

Proteogenomic profiling defines progression-associated biology in high-risk endometrial cancer

Patients with high-risk endometrial carcinoma (HR-EC) experience substantial mortality despite multimodality therapy, molecular classification and contemporary care. We determined whether proteomic tumor programs capture lethal risk beyond established clinical and genomic classif...

An analysis of the cytokine profile of platelet-rich plasma when combined in vitro with low versus high molecular weight hyaluronic acid

Aims: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) are nonoperative treatments for osteoarthritis (OA) of large joints. Clinically, some endorse the use of both methods together for a theoretical synergistic effect therapeutically, with limited evidence. This study aimed t...

The Technology Dependence Index (TDI): Development and Validation in Neonatal and Pediatric Populations

The survival of infants and children with complex medical conditions continues to increase, underscoring the need to quantify technology dependence more effectively. Existing measures emphasize mortality risk and fail to capture the burden of ongoing technological support. To add...

Autonomic Nerve Fiber Compositions of Zygomaticotemporal and Lacrimal Nerves: A Cadaveric Immunohistochemical Analysis

Key Points Zygomaticotemporal (ZTN) and lacrimal nerves (LN) both carried sympathetics and parasympathetics ZTNs had more parasympathetics than LNs, but markers varied significantly within and between nerves LN parasympathetics to the lacrimal gland may mitigate dry eye after vid...

Predictive pre-resection robotic ligament balancing in total knee arthroplasty is accurate across surgeons and patient factors

New robotic total knee arthroplasty (TKA) technology enables force-controlled pre-resection joint gap assessment. Its accuracy across surgeons and patient factors remains unknown. This study evaluated how accurately this technology achieved planned joint gaps and whether accuracy...

How Equity and Quality Are Considered by Cancer Centers Offering Practice-Integrated Telehealth Visits: A Qualitative Study

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic forever changed health care delivery and led to a rapid uptake in telehealth visits. However, the quality and equity of these visits compared to in-person visits are unknown. This analysis interviewed oncology practitioners to understand how US...

Beating the Odds: Successful Thrombectomy Followed By Heart Transplant in a Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device Patient

Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are increasingly used in pediatric patients with end-stage heart failure as a bridge to heart transplantation (HT). Thromboembolic stroke remains one of the most devastating complications and may jeopardize transplant candidacy. We report a 13-ye...
