Interprofessional Collaboration and Patient/Family Engagement on Rounds in a Comprehensive Stroke Center: A Mixed-Methods Study.

Background And Objectives: Daily rounds provide an opportunity for interprofessional collaboration and patient/family engagement, which are critical to stroke care. As part of a quality improvement program, we conducted a baseline assessment to examine interprofessional collaboration and patient/family engagement during the current rounding process in a 12-bed comprehensive stroke center. Findings from the baseline assessment will be used to inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of a new rounding model.

The effects of locus coeruleus ablation on mouse brain volume and microstructure evaluated by high-field MRI.

The locus coeruleus (LC) produces most of the brain's noradrenaline (NA). Among its many roles, NA is often said to be neuroprotective and important for brain upkeep. For this reason, loss of LC integrity is thought to impact brain volume and microstructure as well as plasticity broadly.

Interference of titanium and zirconia implants on dental-dedicated magnetic resonance image quality: ex vivo and in vivo assessment.

Aim: To assess the impact of titanium and zirconia implants on dental-dedicated MR image (ddMRI) quality ex vivo (magnetic field distortion, MFD) and in vivo (artefacts).

Material And Methods: ddMR images were acquired (MAGNETOM Free.Max, 0.

Preoperative Physical Therapy Is Protective From Construct Failure in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Background: Risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) construct failure have been studied extensively. However, while some studies account for variables such as activity level, construct types, preoperative physical therapy, or patient demographics individually, comprehensive studies that control for all these factors simultaneously are scarce.

Hypothesis: By utilizing a robust multivariable analysis, the factors associated with an increased risk of ACLR construct failure can be determined.

Biological Heterogeneity in Susceptibility to Glucocorticoid-Induced Bone Loss: Short- and Long-Term Hip BMD Trajectories.

Context: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Their effect on bone health is predominantly negative by decreasing bone formation and increasing risk of fractures.

Objective: This work aimed to quantify the short- and long-term changes in total hip bone mineral density (THBMD) after initiating systemic GC treatment in previously GC treatment-naive adults without bone protective agents.
