Corrective Actions Taxonomy for Healthcare Incidents (CATHI): Insights From Real-world Data on Hospital-reported Incidents.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a taxonomy for classifying corrective actions following health care incidents in a Portuguese tertiary hospital.

Methods: The study utilized a multimethods design, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses of real-world data. Thematic analysis was performed, drawing on inductive and deductive approaches.

Functional Outcomes in the Distal End of Radius Fracture: A Prospective Study in a Tertiary Care Center.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to determine the functional outcomes and compare them between conservative and surgical management in patients managed for closed-type intra-articular distal end of radius fractures.

Methods: A prospective observational study was done on 150 patients who underwent treatment for closed-type intra-articular distal end of radius fractures. As per Frykman Classification, they were type III.

Effect of total knee arthroplasty on quadriceps and hamstring muscle recovery in individuals with knee osteoarthritis: A proposed systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.

Knee osteoarthritis is a prevalent degenerative joint disease leading to pain, stiffness, reduced mobility in the knee, and muscle weakness. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is typically the preferred surgical treatment option for moderate to severe osteoarthritis. A deeper understanding of quadriceps and hamstring muscle activation after TKA is needed to monitor patient prognosis postoperatively.

Inflammatory cytokine responses in pediatric tuberculosis with or without SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity.

Objectives: To characterize the inflammatory cytokine profiles in children with TB in the presence and absence of SARS-CoV2 seropositivity.

Methods: This study evaluated cytokine responses in two groups of children with TB: CoV2+ (TB and SARS-CoV2 seropositive) and CoV2- (TB and SARS-CoV2 seronegative). Each group had 30 children, and cytokine levels were measured at baseline, months 3 and 6.

Case Report: Hyperandrogenism in Menopause.

Background: Postmenopausal androgen excess often occurs due to the imbalance between the rapid decline in ovarian estrogen and a relatively gradual decline in androgen secretion. The rapid onset of hirsutism, alopecia, and acne, on the other hand, is a rare occurrence and requires further investigation in order to rule out an underlying neoplasm.

Case Report: A 54-year-old woman arrived at the endocrinology outpatient clinic for the appearance of hirsutism and defluvium capitis in the past 9 months.
