Patient Risk Factors for Incidental Pathology After Uterovaginal Surgery for Apical Prolapse: Systematic Review and Global Expert Consensus Statements

Abstract Introduction and Hypothesis Uterus preservation is increasingly used for uterovaginal prolapse (U-POP) repair despite ongoing concerns regarding future uterine, cervical, and adnexal pathology. We evaluated incidental pathology rates, associated risk factors, and created...

Growth of aromatic hydrocarbon dust particles in the extremely metal-poor galaxy Sextans A

The mid-infrared spectrum of star-forming, high-metallicity galaxies is dominated by emission features from aromatic and aliphatic bonds in small carbonaceous dust grains, often referred to as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In metal-poor galaxies, the abundance of PAHs...

Early Experience With Evoque Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement in Carcinoid Heart Disease

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is nearly universal in carcinoid heart disease (CHD), but surgical replacement carries significant risk, and CHD was excluded from the landmark TRISCEND II trial. We present seven patients with CHD undergoing Evoque transcatheter tricuspid valve repla...

Real‐world outcomes of nivolumab‐ AVD and brentuximab vedotin‐ AVD in paediatric and adult advanced‐stage Hodgkin lymphoma

Summary Brentuximab vedotin (BV)‐doxorubicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (AVD) and nivolumab (N)‐AVD have transformed the frontline treatment of advanced‐stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), yet real‐world comparative data remain limited. In this multicentre retrospective study across 1...

Metatarsal Strains During Loading and Motion of the Foot and Ankle in a Cadaveric Model

Metatarsal bone stress injuries (BSI) are painful, overuse injuries commonly seen in athletes and military personnel. High strain magnitudes combined with repetitive loading cycles causes bone fatigue and microdamage accumulation. To protect against BSI, it is necessary to determ...

Development of Thalamo‐Telencephalic Circuits in a Reptile

ABSTRACT Neuronal circuits are a core component required for proper brain function and organization. How these circuits are built remains incompletely understood. The vast majority of studies on forebrain development have investigated mammals. Whether the described observations f...

LiDAR-Based Pavement Marking Detection for Construction Engineering: A Systematic Review of Methods and Applications

Abstract Accurate detection of pavement markings is increasingly vital for construction engineering applications such as roadway asset management, site planning, progress tracking, and quality assurance. This systematic review consolidates computational methods for light detectio...

TEMPO Applications During Poor Wintertime Air Quality in Salt Lake City: An Analysis of Persistent Cold Air Pooling Events

Abstract During the wintertime, the Salt Lake Valley (SLV) experiences episodes of poor air quality during persistent cold air pools (PCAPs), wherein the atmospheric boundary layer remains stable for several days. We examine insights into the accumulation of primary emissions dur...

Comparative Efficacy of Embolic Agents for Single-Session Meningeal Artery Embolization and Surgical Evacuation: Evaluating Liquids, Particles, and Adjunct Coils

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Single-session middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) combined with surgical evacuation is an emerging strategy for management of patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH). However, comparative outcome data based on embolic material selection...

Geroscience: A call for nursing engagement

BACKGROUND: To date, most work in the emerging field of geroscience has been conducted by basic scientists and geriatricians, rather than nurses. However, many of the fundamental mechanisms targeted by geroscience are influenced by a range of nursing-relevant factors. With a few...

Use of a Virtual Reality Visual Field Device to Improve Quality of Care in the Emergency Department and Inpatient Setting

BACKGROUND: Automated visual field testing is an essential diagnostic and disease monitoring tool for many neuro-ophthalmic disorders. Most commonly, automated devices are stationary and located in ophthalmology clinics. Thus, formal visual field testing has been limited in the h...

CT Use for Pediatric Mild Brain Injuries by Hospital Type: 2017 to 2023

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to descriptively examine national patterns of head computed tomography (CT) use for pediatric patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) across adult, pediatric, and mixed hospitals. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of children aged o...
