Article Synopsis
- Current assessment methods for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), like the ankle brachial index, have limitations in accuracy and practicality.
- This study explored the use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) alongside a transient leg elevation maneuver to better diagnose severe PAD.
- Results indicated that significant changes in tissue oxygen saturation (ΔStO) during leg elevation were observed in patients with severe PAD, confirming the potential of NIRS in assessing PAD severity.
BackgroundCarbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales are a public health threat worldwide and OXA-48 is the most prevalent carbapenemase in Germany and western Europe. However, the molecular epidemiology of OXA-48 in species other than and remains poorly understood.AimTo analyse the molecular epidemiology of OXA-48 and OXA-48-like carbapenemases in species (spp.

We examined the impact of Casper in the residency selection process on professionalism concerns, learning interventions and resource utilization at an institution.
Methods: In 2022, admissions data and information in the files of residents in difficulty (over three years pre- and post- Casper implementation) was used to determine the number of residents in difficulty, CanMEDS roles requiring a learning intervention, types of learning interventions (informal learning plans vs.
Objective: No standard definition for a completely healed wound currently exists; it is recommended that providers use a reliable wound assessment tool to determine healing. The objective of this feasibility study was to determine if a point-of-care, noncontact, near-infrared (NIR) imaging device could provide an objective measure of wound resolution and guide clinical decision-making for the optimal time to transition from protective wound dressings and gradual return to full activity.
Methods: In this single-center feasibility study, adult patients 18 years and older with a lower extremity wound of any size and etiology were seen weekly for wound assessment and standard-of-care treatment.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of a flotation vest (FV) and water flow rate (WFR) on limb kinematics of dogs swimming against a current.
Animals: 7 (1 male and 6 female) healthy adult Siberian Huskies.
Procedures: Dogs were habituated to swim with and without an FV beside an investigator in a continuous-flow pool against WFRs up to 2.
