Background Predicting potential overcrowding is a significant tool in efficient emergency department (ED) management. Our aim was to develop and validate overcrowding predictive models using accessible and high quality information. Methods Retrospective cohort study of consecutive days in the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires ED from june 2016 to may 2018.

High-intensity interval training versus moderate-intensity continuous training on exercise capacity and health-related quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Despite the well-known positive effects of exercise in patients with coronary artery disease, the best exercise training protocol is still under discussion.

Objective: We performed a systematic review and a meta-analysis to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on exercise capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with coronary artery disease.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE/PubMed, the Cochrane Library EMBASE, and the PEDro database for randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effects of HIIT versus MICT.

Perinatal death, collective action and legislation against obstetric violence in Argentina.

This article explores the interconnections between perinatal death, collective action, and legislation against obstetric violence in Argentina. It employs a comprehensive methodological approach, including in-depth interviews, document reviews, a survey, and intensive ethnographic fieldwork to provide a multidimensional understanding of how collective actions influence legislative outcomes. Johanna Piferrer's case, a poignant example detailed in this study, illustrates how personal tragedy catalyzed public and legislative acknowledgement of obstetric violence.

Intensive Care Unit Readmissions in a Level I Trauma Center.

Introduction: Intensive care unit (ICU) readmissions are associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates, longer hospitalization, and increased health-care expenditures. This study sought to present a large cohort of trauma patients readmitted to the ICU, characterizing risk factors and providing quality improvement strategies to limit ICU readmission.

Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on adult trauma patients admitted to the ICU at a single level I trauma center from 2014 to 2021.
