The Peritubercle Lucency Sign as a Considerable Predictive Factor for Contralateral Hip Slippage in Unilateral Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis Cases.

 To determine whether the radiographic parameter at the epiphyseal tubercle region (peritubercle lucency sign) on the unaffected side can predict slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).  We retrospectively reviewed patients who received an initial diagnosis of unilateral SCFE between 1995 and 2020 at a pediatric hospital in a Brazilian state's capital. The patients were monitored for at least 18 months.

Reoperative hybrid breast augmentation: An analysis of risk factors for complications and reoperations.

Background: Autogenous fat grafting (AFG) has become a common procedure to optimize aesthetic results in breast augmentation (BA). However, complications or outcomes in reoperative BA remain unclear. This study compared the outcomes or risk factors in reoperative BA with AFG and without AFG.

Workforce Psychological Distress and Absenteeism in Australia: The Correlates of Industry, Age, and Gender.

The workplace is an important setting for improving population psychological health. This study aimed to identify priority industries and populations in Australia with highest adverse effects of psychological distress. The study included 5834 workers aged 18 to 64 years who participated in the 2020 to 2021 National Health Survey.

Associations of intraoperative end-tidal CO levels with postoperative outcome-secondary analysis of a worldwide observational study.

Background: Patients receiving intraoperative ventilation during general anesthesia often have low end-tidal CO (etCO). We examined the association of intraoperative etCO levels with the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in a conveniently-sized international, prospective study named 'Local ASsessment of Ventilatory management during General Anesthesia for Surgery' (LAS VEGAS).

Methods: Patients at high risk of PPCs were categorized as 'low etCO' or 'normal to high etCO' patients, using a cut-off of 35 mmHg.

Hemodynamic effects of slower versus faster intravenous fluid bolus rates in critically ill patients: An observational study.

Purpose: We compared the immediate and sustained effects of 500 mL of crystalloid administered at slow (333 mL/h) versus fast rates (999 mL/h) on mean arterial pressure (MAP) in critically ill patients.

Materials And Methods: Hemodynamic variables were collected immediately before and every 30 min up to 60 min after the end of the infusion. The primary outcome was the adjusted difference in MAP.
