Preoperative quality of life at time of gynecologic surgery: considerations for postoperative management.

Background: Patients presenting for gynecologic surgery are a heterogeneous group. Preoperative quality of life may be a useful tool to guide postoperative management.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the key drivers of preoperative quality of life to improve counseling and postoperative management.

Predictive Equations Overestimate Resting Metabolic Rate in Survivors of Chronic Stroke.

Objective: To measure resting metabolic rate (RMR) in survivors of chronic (>3 months prior) stroke (mean ± SEM age, 61±7.5 years) and to compare to predicted RMR using predictive equations in adults without stroke.

Design: Cross-sectional study.
