Rates of Return to Sexual Activity Are High In Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy And Occurs Within Six Weeks Postoperatively In Most Patients: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To provide an aggregate review of literature on 1) outcomes related to the quality of intercourse (frequency, postoperative pain during intercourse, postoperative sexual dysfunction) after hip arthroscopy and 2) patient-reported outcomes regarding postoperative sexual function after hip arthroscopy.

Methods: This systematic review followed The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed, Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL), and Scopus were queried in March 2024.

Daily glucocorticoids promote glioblastoma growth and circadian synchrony to the host.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults with a poor prognosis despite aggressive therapy. Here, we hypothesized that daily host signaling regulates tumor growth and synchronizes circadian rhythms in GBM. We find daily glucocorticoids promote or suppress GBM growth through glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling depending on time of day and the clock genes, Bmal1 and Cry.

Methods to Manage Edema and Reduce Flap Compression in Postoperative Nursing Care Following Trauma to the Lower Extremity.

Lower extremity edema and compression are potential causes of poor soft tissue healing and flap failure for patients who suffer lower extremity trauma. This review summarizes techniques aimed at reducing edema and mechanical pressure in these patients as well as those undergoing soft tissue coverage techniques. We conducted a literature review for postoperative nursing management to reduce edema in the lower extremity, following traumatic injury.

Daily glucocorticoids promote glioblastoma growth and circadian synchrony to the host.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults with a poor prognosis despite aggressive therapy. A recent, retrospective clinical study found that administering Temozolomide in the morning increased patient overall survival by 6 months compared to evening. Here, we tested the hypothesis that daily host signaling regulates tumor growth and synchronizes circadian rhythms in GBM.

Co-creating online leadership learning spaces: Emerging practices in graduate and professional leadership education.

Teaching innovative and engaging online and hybrid courses enables us as leadership educators to model effective leadership practices for graduate and professional students, promote equitable outcomes, and contribute to increased diversity in workplace leaders. Based on two theoretical frameworks, this article will explore practical course design and teaching tips that facilitate increased engagement for online students and instructors too.

Cancer, Fertility and Me: Developing and Testing a Novel Fertility Preservation Patient Decision Aid to Support Women at Risk of Losing Their Fertility Because of Cancer Treatment.

Background: Women with a new cancer diagnosis face complex decisions about interventions aiming to preserve their fertility. Decision aids are more effective in supporting decision making than traditional information provision. We describe the development and field testing of a novel patient decision aid designed to support women to make fertility preservation treatment decisions around cancer diagnosis.

Belonging at ITB: The Use of Photovoice Methodology (PVM) to Investigate Inclusion and Exclusion at ITB Based on Ethnicity and Nationality from a Student Perspective.

The aim of this research is to sensitise readers to issues of inclusion and exclusion on campus at ITB in order to deepen our capacity to empathise with our students in a meaningful, accessible and evocative way in relation to ethnicity and/or nationality. Using Photovoice Methodology (PVM), the objective is to investigate the use of space and place that students occupy on campus. The outcomes of the research through images and text reveal surroundings on campus that students find inclusive and exclusive.

Implementing a community-based self care training initiative: a process evaluation.

Within the UK, there is growing recognition that individuals will need to take increased responsibility for managing their own health for there to be improvements in population health. The current evidence base on self care interventions reflects an interest in enhancing self care knowledge, skills and behaviour in relation to the management of long-term conditions. In contrast, this paper reports on a community-based self care initiative that was designed to promote self care approaches in the general population.

Coping with night shift.

Working night shifts can adversely affect the performance and health of nurses, both in the short and long term. The key to improving conditions for workers lies with management.

Effects of 1,2-dibromoethane on glutathione metabolism in rat liver and kidney.

There are few reports of the effects of glutathione-depleting agents administered for periods longer than 24 hr on the turnover of glutathione (GSH) in mammalian tissues. Studies of such effects are important in relation to the protection of tissues from damage from, for example, reactive metabolites derived from xenobiotics. In the investigation described here, 1,2-dibromoethane dibromide)-a widely used insecticide, nematocide, fungicide and petrol additive, which is hepato- and nephrotoxic-was administered to rats and the effects on non-protein thiol contents and GSH-related enzyme activities were determined in liver and kidney.

The treatment of erythropoietic protoporphyria. Experience with beta-carotene.

In a group of 19 subjects suffering from erythropoietic protoporphyria the administration of beta-carotene appeared to produce improvement based on a subjective assessment of alterations in exposure times required to produce the symptoms and signs of the condition. This clinical improvement however failed to show a direct correlation with the prophyrin levels in blood and faeces, or with the estimation by phototesting of the minimal response dose within the action spectrum of 400-600 nm.

The analysis of paraquat in urine by high-speed liquid chromatography.

The paraquat content of urine can be directly determined by high-speed liquid chromatography using ultraviolet spectrophotometric detection. The method separates paraquat (and diquat) from the ultraviolet-absorbing components of urine and no extraction or pre-treatment of the sample is required prior to analysis. Concentrations down to 100 mug/1 of paraquat in urine were determined.

The effect of treatment on plasma uroporphyrin levels in cutaneous hepatic porphyria.

Seven patients undergoing treatment for cutaneous hepatic porphyria had serial measurements of their plasma uroporphyrin. In each case there was a progressive fall during treatment but even in remission the levels did not return to normal. There was a significant correlation between urinary and plasma uroporphyrin concentrations.
