Strength in numbers: Utilization of an innovative electronic audit to enhance the completion of central line maintenance audits.

Background: Health care systems use auditing processes to monitor compliance with evidence-based practices. The auditing process for a bundle targeting central line-associated bloodstream infection prevention at a large children's hospital was suboptimal. The purpose of this project was to implement a revised audit and feedback data collection process.

Predicting transitions between longitudinal classes of post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorder and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic: protocol of a latent transition model in a general Dutch sample.

Background: A growing body of literature shows profound effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, among which increased rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and adjustment disorder (AD). However, current research efforts have largely been unilateral, focusing on psychopathology and not including well-being, and are dominated by examining average psychopathology levels or on disorder absence/presence, thereby ignoring individual differences in mental health. Knowledge on individual differences, as depicted by latent subgroups, in the full spectrum of mental health may provide valuable insights in how individuals transition between health states and factors that predict transitioning from resilient to symptomatic classes.

[Predictive value of CA 125 in detection of ovarian cancer in pre- and postmenopausal patients].

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of CA125 measurements in ovarian cancer diagnostics in pre- versus postmenopausal women.

Material And Methods: The study group consisted of 99 serum specimens of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer (28 pre- and 71 postmenopausal). The control group consisted of 86 specimens collected from women without any ovarian pathology (34 pre- and 52 postmenopausal).

Diagnosing and management of iatrogenic moderate and severe ovarian hyperstymulation syndrome (OHSS) in clinical material.

Severe ovarian hyperstymulation syndrome is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication in patients undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART). The pathogenesis of this condition is likely to be multifactorial. The aim of the retrospective study was to present management in moderate and severe iatrogenic ovarian hyperstymulation syndrome (OHSS) in clinical material.

Surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence using the tension-free vaginal tape-obturator system (TVT-O) technique.

Objective: The purpose of the research was to provide a review of the efficacy of the TVT-O technique for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and to assess surgical and postsurgical complications related to this technique.

Study Design: An initial assessment was carried out on 44 women who underwent TVT-O surgery between 16 September 2004 and 1 February 2005. The follow-ups after 3 and 12 months were attended by 37 and 35 patients, respectively.

[Ovarian tissue cryopreservation as a perspective for fertility preservation].

In 2004 the first livebirth after cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation has been reported which is a turning point in fertility preservation after anticancer treatment and a result of almost 50 years of research. However transplantation of cryopreserved ovary is still experimental method and further study needs to be done on the risk of cancer cell reimplantation, this method is very promising for cancer patients who wants to preserve fertility after cancer treatment. This is a review of methods used for cryopreserved ovarian tissue.
