Healthcare Providers' Experiences With and Perspective on Delivering the Enhanced Recovery After Elective Caesarean Birth Pathway With Next-Day Discharge: Qualitative Analysis.

Aims: To understand the perspectives and experiences of healthcare providers who have experience working with an enhanced recovery care after elective caesarean birth pathway with next-day discharge and home midwifery.

Design: This study applies a qualitative study design with a pragmatic realist approach. The realist framework was used while also taking a post-positivist philosophy.

A thematic analysis of the subjective experiences of mothers with borderline personality disorder who completed Mother-Infant Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: a 3-year follow-up.

Background: Perinatal borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a common condition in perinatal mental health settings with few specialised treatment options, and little is known about the enduring effects of available treatment programs. This study explored the follow-up experiences of women with BPD after completing Mother-Infant Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (MI-DBT).

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight women who had completed MI-DBT 3 years prior.

Wellbeing Outcomes and Risk and Protective Factors for Parents with Migrant and Refugee Backgrounds from the Middle East in the First 1000 Days: A Systematic Review.

The First 1000 Days (the period from conception to a child's second birthday) is an important developmental period. However, little is known about experiences of parents with refugee and migrant backgrounds during this period. A systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines.

Reflective functioning and mother-infant relationships among mothers with Borderline Personality Disorder post-therapy.

The stressful nature of parenting infants exacerbates the characteristics of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Consequently, mothers with BPD tend to be emotionally dysregulated, respond impulsively to their infants, and have poorer mother-infant relationships. Few parenting interventions target the specific skill deficits observed in mothers with BPD.

Perinatal care for women with refugee backgrounds from African countries: a qualitative study of intersections with psychological wellbeing.

Background: Experiences with healthcare services, including perinatal healthcare services, contribute to psychological wellbeing for refugees post-resettlement. To address the paucity of literature examining the relationship between perinatal healthcare and psychological wellbeing in women with refugee backgrounds from African countries this study aimed to: (1) understand the relationship between psychological wellbeing and perinatal care amongst this population, and; (2) identify areas for improved perinatal healthcare services to ensure positive wellbeing outcomes in this population.

Methods: A total of 39 participants were included in the study.

Efficacy of intralesional sodium thiosulfate for the treatment of dystrophic calcinosis cutis: A double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study.

Background: Intralesional injection of sodium thiosulfate has emerged as a promising therapy for calcinosis cutis, but to our knowledge there are no randomized controlled trials evaluating its efficacy as a treatment.

Objective: Conduct a prospective, double-blinded investigation of intralesional sodium thiosulfate versus normal saline in the treatment of dystrophic calcinosis cutis.

Methods: This prospective pilot study injected normal saline or sodium thiosulfate at 0.

The Effect of Abobotulinum Toxin A on the Symptoms of Raynaud's Phenomenon: A Case Series.

Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is a relatively common syndrome occurring alone or in combination with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. It is characterized by pain and ulceration due to vasospasm in response to cold and stress, most often affecting the digits. Although pharmacologic treatment for this condition exists, it is not always efficacious.

Influence of Baseline Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features on Outcome of Arthroscopic Meniscectomy and Physical Therapy Treatment of Meniscal Tears in Osteoarthritis.

Background: Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) is used to treat meniscal tears, although its efficacy is controversial.

Purpose: This study used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine characteristics that lead to greater benefit from APM and physical therapy (PT) than from PT alone among patients with meniscal tear and knee osteoarthritis.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.

The likelihood of total knee arthroplasty following arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis: a systematic review.

Background: Arthroscopic surgery is a common treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA), particularly for symptomatic meniscal tear. Many patients with knee OA who have arthroscopies go on to have total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Several individual studies have investigated the interval between knee arthroscopy and TKA.

Financial Incentives and Health Coaching to Improve Physical Activity Following Total Knee Replacement: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: Most persons who undergo total knee replacement (TKR) do not increase their physical activity following surgery. We assessed whether financial incentives and health coaching would improve physical activity in persons undergoing TKR.

Methods: We designed a factorial randomized controlled trial among persons undergoing TKR for osteoarthritis.

Measures of the Appropriateness of Elective Orthopaedic Joint and Spine Procedures.

Total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty are 2 of the most commonly performed elective orthopaedic procedures. They are remarkably successful in relieving pain and improving function in individuals with advanced, symptomatic arthritis. Since, in addition to providing benefits, these procedures pose risks, it is important to provide clinicians with guidance in determining which patients should undergo total joint replacement surgery.
