Advancements in Managing Bone Defects with Limb Length Discrepancies with a Motorized Intramedullary Combined Transport and Lengthening Nail

Summary: Large bone defects that coexist with limb length discrepancy present a challenging problem in limb reconstruction. Historically, management has required complex circular fixation constructs, staged procedures, or separate devices to independently address each problem. Ho...

Optimizing daily spontaneous breathing trial timing to expedite extubation

Background Spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) are a crucial tool used to assess patients who are being mechanically ventilated for extubation readiness. Objectives As a quality improvement initiative, we have conducted a pre-post implementation study to evaluate whether changing...

Multidomain mobility and cognition across the adult lifespan: Stride velocity and cadence are associated with executive function in older adulthood.

= .048) explained an additional 3.4% and 2.8% of variance in executive function beyond age and education. No associations were observed among younger adults. Mobility and cognition relationships may differ across adulthood. In older adulthood, cadence emerged as a distinct mobili...
