Effects of probiotics in elderly hospitalized tube-fed patients with antibiotics use.

Background: Several studies revealed the beneficial effects of probiotics against the incidence of antibiotic-associated diarrhea of hospitalized patients but it is rarely to assess the nutrition status. This study investigated the effects of probiotics in elderly hospitalized tube-fed patients with antibiotics use and is the first study that concerns the nutritional status among these patients.

Methods: Elderly hospitalized tube-fed patients who were using antibiotics were recruited.

Ambient artificial intelligence scribes: utilization and impact on documentation time.

Objectives: To quantify utilization and impact on documentation time of a large language model-powered ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribe.

Materials And Methods: This prospective quality improvement study was conducted at a large academic medical center with 45 physicians from 8 ambulatory disciplines over 3 months. Utilization and documentation times were derived from electronic health record (EHR) use measures.

Ambient artificial intelligence scribes: physician burnout and perspectives on usability and documentation burden.

Objective: This study evaluates the pilot implementation of ambient AI scribe technology to assess physician perspectives on usability and the impact on physician burden and burnout.

Materials And Methods: This prospective quality improvement study was conducted at Stanford Health Care with 48 physicians over a 3-month period. Outcome measures included burden, burnout, usability, and perceived time savings.

Radiation safety and dialysate analysis in hemodialysis following Lu-177-PSMA-617 therapy: A case report.

Purpose: We present a patient who is undergoing regular HD and received Lu-177-PSMA-617 treatment, regarding radiation safety issues including environmental radiation, exposure of medical personnel, and the radioactivity in the dialysate.

Eugenol: A Potential Modulator of Human Platelet Activation and Mouse Mesenteric Vascular Thrombosis via an Innovative cPLA2-NF-κB Signaling Axis.

Background: Platelets, a type of anucleated cell, play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Therefore, targeting platelet activation is essential for mitigating CVDs. Endogenous agonists, such as collagen, activate platelets by initiating signal transduction through specific platelet receptors, leading to platelet aggregation.
