The Impact of an Overactive Bladder Care Pathway on Longitudinal Patient Management.

Importance: Implementation of an overactive bladder (OAB) care pathway may affect treatment patterns and progression.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of OAB care pathway implementation on treatment patterns for women with OAB.

Study Design: This retrospective cohort study evaluated women with OAB, before (January 1, 2015-December 31, 2017) and after (January 1, 2019-December 31, 2021) care pathway initiation.

Racial Differences in Neurocognitive Outcomes Post-Stroke: The Impact of Healthcare Variables.

Objectives: The present study examined differences in neurocognitive outcomes among non-Hispanic Black and White stroke survivors using the NIH Toolbox-Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB), and investigated the roles of healthcare variables in explaining racial differences in neurocognitive outcomes post-stroke.

Methods: One-hundred seventy adults (91 Black; 79 White), who participated in a multisite study were included (age: M=56.4; SD=12.

Development and Alternate Form Reliability of the Complex Task Performance Assessment (CTPA) for People With Mild Stroke.

Cognitive impairment is a common consequence of mild stroke. Current performance-based assessments for mild stroke can detect mild impairments in executive function but lack alternate forms to be used as outcome measures. This study aimed to develop an alternate form of the Complex Task Performance Assessment (CTPA-Alt), a performance-based assessment of executive function, and to establish the alternate form reliability of the CTPA-Alt.

Drug hypersensitivity in the age of electronic medical records.

Cutaneous drug eruptions are a common adverse reaction to medication. Creation of a drug calendar that covers a two-week span prior to the onset of rash is useful to identify the culprit agent. However, the creation of a drug calendar is often labor intensive.

Analysis of Cognitive Environmental Support (ACES): preliminary testing.

Although the environment can impact, or otherwise support, cognition, no measure currently exists to help the clinician identify items within the environment that may support cognition. To address this gap in the literature, the Analysis of Cognitive Environmental Support (ACES) was developed. Here, content validity, concurrent validity and inter-rater reliability were assessed, in parallel, for the ACES.

Anti-laminin-332 mucous membrane pemphigoid associated with recurrent metastatic prostate carcinoma: hypothesis for a paraneoplastic phenomenon.

Anti-epiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid is an autoimmune blistering disorder that has recently been associated with the development of solid organ malignancy. We describe a patient with recurrent metastatic prostate carcinoma who was diagnosed with this disorder. We provide a hypothesis as to the relationship between the development of this disease and its possible association with cancer pathogenesis.

Word retrieval learning modulates right frontal cortex in patients with left frontal damage.

Previous studies have suggested that recovery or compensation of language function after a lesion in the left hemisphere may depend on mechanisms in the right hemisphere. However, a direct relationship between performance and right hemisphere activity has not been established. Here, we show that patients with left frontal lesions and partially recovered aphasia learn, at a normal rate, a novel word retrieval task that requires the damaged cortex.
