- Buried bumper syndrome is a serious complication that can occur when placing a gastrostomy tube and requires early diagnosis to prevent more severe issues related to feeding.
- Diagnosing this condition can be particularly difficult in patients with brain injuries who cannot effectively communicate their symptoms.
- Two case studies highlight the need for timely diagnosis and management while also showing the limitations of using Gastrografin-aided KUB studies for diagnosis.
Objectives: To describe a specialized early treatment program for persons with disorders of consciousness (DOC) that includes family education; to identify rates of secondary conditions, imaging used, and selected interventions; and to evaluate outcomes.
Design: A single-center, retrospective, pre-post design using electronic medical record data.
Setting: A Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities-accredited, long-term acute care hospital that provides acute medical and inpatient rehabilitation levels of care for people with catastrophic injuries.
Objectives: To identify falling risk factors in a study population of recurrent fallers compared with nonfallers who have Parkinson disease, and to prioritize falling risk factors in this patient population to target them for modification.
Design: Twenty-three recurrent fallers and 25 nonfallers who have Parkinson disease were recruited, and they participated in a comprehensive assessment probing for the presence of falling risk factors. To identify falling risk factors, a group comparative design was used to compare recurrent fallers and nonfallers across an array of variables.
