Objective: We assessed the hypothesis that nonoperative management would be a viable treatment option for patients with underlying degenerative disease who have traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (TCSI) without neurological deterioration and/or spinal instability during hospitalization.
Methods: Data were collected prospectively from 2011 to 2016. All the patients had been treated nonoperatively with hard cervical collar immobilization.
Object: Error recording and monitoring is an important component of error prevention and quality assurance in the health sector given the huge impact of medical errors on the well-being of patients and the financial loss incurred by health institutions. With this in mind, assessing the effect of reporting errors should be a cause worth pursuing. The object in this study was to examine the null hypothesis that recording and publishing errors do not affect error patterns in a clinical practice.

- This study investigates the relationship between the histological findings of excised appendices and intra-operative observations during open appendectomy, focusing on cases of uncomplicated appendicitis.
- Results show that the presence and condition of the greater omentum and peritoneal exudates can predict the histological state of the appendix, with high positive predictive values indicating a reliable connection between visible inflammation and acute appendicitis.
- The findings suggest that the macroscopic assessment of the appendix during surgery can significantly inform the need for further exploration or intervention.
