Phoenix Comprehensive Assessment of Pectus Excavatum Symptoms (PCAPES).

Background: Pectus excavatum (PE) can cause cardiopulmonary compression with a wide range of symptoms and psychosocial effects. Few validated surveys assess the extensive symptomatology of the adult pectus population. A comprehensive symptom survey was developed and validated with outcomes presented.

Revision after prior failed pectus excavatum repair: higher risks and greater complications than primary surgery.

Background: Revision of a prior failed pectus excavatum (PE) repair is occasionally required. These procedures may be technically more complex and have a greater risk of complications. This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of adult patients undergoing revision procedures.

Crop rotational diversity can mitigate climate-induced grain yield losses.

Diversified crop rotations have been suggested to reduce grain yield losses from the adverse climatic conditions increasingly common under climate change. Nevertheless, the potential for climate change adaptation of different crop rotational diversity (CRD) remains undetermined. We quantified how climatic conditions affect small grain and maize yields under different CRDs in 32 long-term (10-63 years) field experiments across Europe and North America.

Does a high Haller index influence outcomes in pectus excavatum repair?

Objective: Severity for pectus excavatum includes Haller index (HI) > 3.25. An extremely high HI (≥8) may influence surgical approach and complications.

Older persons' experience of eHealth services in home health care: A meta-ethnography eHealth services in home health care.

This study aimed to describe older persons' experiences of eHealth services in home health care. A meta-ethnographic approach was applied, and a systematic literature search was conducted in three databases. In total, 11 articles were included and analysed, which resulted in two themes and six sub-themes.
