Clinical Characteristics of Early Leavers From a Private Dual-Diagnosis Program.

Early leaving in substance use disorder treatment may be the single largest variable undermining treatment success. Existing work on early leaving tends to explore either client factors, which include age, race, gender, and diagnoses, or treatment factors, which include the type of treatment activities offered, treatment experiences of clients and staff, treatment amenities, and environmental factors in the residential treatment program. However, existing work on both client factors and treatment factors provides mixed results on what contributes to early leaving.

"Are my blood products coming?": Implementation of a novel blood product tracker in the electronic health record system.

Background: Blood transfusions are the most common procedure performed in American hospitals. The steps required for blood product delivery are often misunderstood by providers, leading to numerous phone calls to the blood bank requesting order status. Distracting calls can lengthen turnaround time, especially during blood product or staff shortages.

Anesthesia Management of the Patient With Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Undergoing Lung Lavage.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disorder characterized by the accumulation of surfactant/lipoprotein material in the alveoli and subsequent hypoxemic respiratory failure. Whole lung lavage (WLL), a procedure used to physically remove the lipoprotein material from the alveoli, is the first-line treatment for this disease process. Anesthesia providers may infrequently encounter the management of the WLL procedure due to the rarity of the underlying disease process.

Investigations into disease associations with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection in lions (Panthera leo) in Australia: a case-control study.

Background: Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a highly mutable retrovirus with numerous species-specific strains, such as those infecting domestic cats (Felis catus, FIV) and wild populations of nondomestic cats including lions (Panthera leo, FIV). When FIV infection manifests as disease in domestic cats, common presentations include lymphadenopathy, lymphoid malignancies, oral cavity disease, immunological dysfunctions and neurological abnormalities. In contrast to domestic cats, there has been little published evidence of direct FIV disease associations in lions.
