Outcomes and Risk Factors for Morbidity After Lung Hydatidosis Surgery in Children.

Objective: To examine outcomes and associated risk factors for children who undergo surgery for lung hydatidosis (LH).

Study Design: Through a retrospective and analytical-aim-study, over a period of 35 years in 2 surgical departments, we reported all operative cases for LH in children, regardless of cyst number, location, and aspect. Univariate and multivariable analyses were used to assess variables potentially predictive of postoperative morbidity.

Sternal tail: A new entity; A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Supernumerary ribs are very rare. They may occur at any level of the spine. We present here a case of an unusual localization of an extra rib that has not been previously described in the literature.

[CBT administered via the internet].

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be administered clinically to individuals and in group settings. More recently, CBT has been administered successfully via the internet (ICBT). We provide a concept aiming at further developing ICBT in a self-care format.

Brief digital self-care intervention for health anxiety in a Swedish Medical University Clinic: a prospective single-group feasibility study.

Objectives: In routine psychiatric care in Stockholm, Sweden, a comprehensive therapist-guided intervention for clinically significant health anxiety is implemented. However, there is a need for more easily accessible self-care interventions to improve treatment dissemination. This study aimed to transform an existing therapist-guided digital intervention into a self-care intervention, reducing patient burden and used clinical resources while maintaining quality and safety.

Transforming guided internet interventions into simplified and self-guided digital tools - Experiences from three recent projects.

Introduction: Therapist-guided internet interventions are often more efficacious than unguided ones. However, the guidance itself requires clinician time, and some research suggests that self-guided interventions could potentially be equally effective. The concept of digital psychological self-care, self-guided internet interventions based on the use of digital tools and provided within a structured clinical process, is presented.

Enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery in low- and middle-income countries: Feasibility and outcomes.

Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) applies multimodal, perioperative, and evidence-based practices to decrease postoperative morbi-mortality, the length of hospital stay, and hospitalization costs. Implementing enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery (ERATS) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) is problematic. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of an ERATS protocol adapted to LMIC conditions in Tunisia.

Small cell osteosarcoma of the rib: An exceptional localization.

Small cell osteosarcoma is a rare sub-type of osteogenic malignant tumors. Rib localization is uncommon. Histological examination is an important step to make the difference with similar tumors like Ewing's sarcoma.

Cavitary lung opacity of unusual cause during Behçet disease.

Pulmonary artery aneurysm must be evoked in front of any hemoptysis in a patient with Behçet disease as it requires urgent immunosuppressive therapy and often surgery.

A self-guided and monitored digital problem-solving intervention for patients with symptoms of depression or anxiety on the waiting list for treatment in routine psychiatric care: feasibility study.

Background: There is often a waiting period for people who seek psychiatric treatment for depression or anxiety. As this delay risks worsening symptoms, an alternative could be to provide an intervention that requires minimal resources during the waiting period.

Aims: The aim was to investigate if a digital problem-solving intervention delivered in a self-guided format with automated features is feasible to provide for patients on the waiting list in routine psychiatric care.

Effectiveness and safety of povidone iodine for prolonged lung air-leak after lung surgery.

Background: Pulmonary surgery is often associated with postoperative prolonged parenchymal air-leak. The purpose of this study was to determine efficacy and safety of povidone iodine as treatment of prolonged parenchymal air-leak following all-types of lung surgery.

Methods: This prospective trial was conducted from June 2019 to December 2020, and designed under PanAfrican Clinical Trials Registry requirements.

Morbidity and Mortality Risk Factors for Lung Hydatidosis Surgery: Over 30 Years' Experience Review.

Background: Lung hydatidosis (LH) is still an endemic pathology. Different published surgical series have reported variable numbers of patients, but few have studied the morbidity- and mortality-associated risk factors.

Methods: Through a retrospective with a descriptive and analytical aim study, performed from January 1987 to December 2020, we reported all patients who underwent operations for LH, regardless of the cyst locations, numbers, and aspects.

Practical and Emotional Problems Reported by Users of a Self-guided Digital Problem-solving Intervention During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Content Analysis.

Background: To better direct assessments and interventions toward the general population during both the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and future crises with societal restrictions, data on the types of practical and emotional problems that people are experiencing are needed.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the types of practical and emotional problems that the general population is experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic and to construct an empirically derived inventory based on the findings.

Methods: A total of 396 participants, recruited among members of the general public in Sweden who were experiencing practical and/or emotional problems during the pandemic, accessed a self-guided digital problem-solving intervention for a period of 1 week to report and solve the problems they experienced.

Alveolar Adenoma: A Rare Benign Tumour of the Lung with A Challenging Diagnosis.

Alveolar adenoma is a rare lung benign tumour originating from type II pneumocytes. It presents as a well-defined nodule. In some cases, it is difficult to differentiate from lung cancer.

The effect of user interface on treatment engagement in a self-guided digital problem-solving intervention: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Resources are spent worldwide on the development of digital platforms and their user interfaces (UIs) for digital mental health services (DMHS). However, studies investigating the potential benefits of different UIs for DMHS are currently lacking. To fill this knowledge gap, the aim of this study was to investigate differences in treatment engagement between two different UIs for DMHS.

A diagnostic pitfall of a sternal mass.

Primary sternal lymphoma represents a rare entity which must be evoked in front of a sternal mass especially as its treatment is different from that of sarcomas, the principal etiology of sternal masses.

Acquired Chiari I malformation due to lumboperitoneal shunt: A case report and review of literature.

Background: The Type I malformations are supposed to be the result of mesodermal defects that create a congenitally small posterior fossa. However, Chiari malformation could be also "iatrogenic" and then called "acquired" Chiari I malformation. In this study, the authors report the clinical feature of a patient who developed a Chiari I malformation after lumboperitoneal shunt.

Successful utilization of the EMR in a multiple sclerosis clinic to support quality improvement and research initiatives at the point of care.

Background: Many physicians enter data into the electronic medical record (EMR) as unstructured free text and not as discrete data, making it challenging to use for quality improvement or research initiatives.

Objectives: The objective of this research paper was to develop and implement a structured clinical documentation support (SCDS) toolkit within the EMR to facilitate quality initiatives and practice-based research in a multiple sclerosis (MS) practice.

Methods: We built customized EMR toolkits to capture standardized data at office visits.
