A social information processing perspective on social connectedness.

Social connectedness (SC) is one of the most important predictors for physical and mental health. Consequently, SC is addressed in an increasing number of studies, providing evidence for the multidimensionality of the construct, and revealing several factors that contribute to individual differences in SC.

Trends and Outcomes in Elective Pediatric Surgery During Weekends.

Leveraging weekends for elective surgical cases could increase operative capacity but must be balanced with practical considerations. Our study aimed to characterize trends and outcomes for elective pediatric surgeries performed during weekends.

Association between bariatric surgery preoperative chemoprophylaxis and postoperative bleeding.

Background: Use of chemoprophylaxis for prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after bariatric surgery is a generally accepted principle; however, the optimal strategy in terms of medication type and pre- and postoperative dosing is uncertain. In our healthcare system, four hospitals performed bariatric surgery and utilized differing protocols for VTE prophylaxis. The analysis sought to evaluate the association of differing prophylaxis strategies on bleeding and VTE occurrence.
