Occupational Therapists' Role in Maternal Health in the Home Environment After Cesarean Section.

Cesarean sections (c-sections) are the most commonly performed surgery in the United States, and the country is currently facing a maternal health crisis. Surprisingly, women do not receive rehabilitation services to support the acute stages of c-section recovery. When someone undergoes a knee or hip replacement, it is standard practice for the physician to order home health services, including occupational therapy, for a client before they are discharged from the hospital.

Machine learning models based on FEM simulation of hoop mode vibrations to enable ultrasonic cuffless measurement of blood pressure.

Blood pressure (BP) is one of the vital physiological parameters, and its measurement is done routinely for almost all patients who visit hospitals. Cuffless BP measurement has been of great research interest over the last few years. In this paper, we aim to establish a method for cuffless measurement of BP using ultrasound.

Total Prehospital Time and Tractor Injuries: A Nebraska State Trauma Registry Analysis.

Background: Agriculture is a hazardous industry, with tractor-related incidents being among the leading causes of traumatic injury and death. These injuries tend to take place far away from hospitals, thus leading to increased prehospital time to receive care. Understanding the relationship between prehospital time and outcomes such as hospital length of stay and mortality in the state of Nebraska could inform resource allocation for tractor related injuries.

Guideline on the Use of Intravenous Ketamine for Procedural Sedation in the Children's Emergency Department: A Quality Improvement Project.

In pediatric emergency medicine, sedation is crucial for performing some therapeutic procedures in children. Ketamine is still not widely used, despite being the preferred agent due to its effectiveness and safety profile. Implementing a guideline for intravenous ketamine in emergencies requiring procedural sedation in children, as well as training and evaluating staff competencies in performing this procedure, are the aims of this study.

Effects of Inosine-5'-monophosphate Dehydrogenase (IMPDH/GuaB) Inhibitors on Growth in Standard and Modified Culture Conditions.

's inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH, GuaB encoded by the gene) is a potential therapeutic target. GuaB is necessary for replication in mammalian hosts but not in standard laboratory culture conditions. Therefore, we cannot test novel GuaB inhibitors against without utilizing mammalian infection models.
