Retrospective analysis of HPV infection: Cotesting and HPV genotyping in cervical cancer screening within a large academic health care system.

Background: In 2019, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology introduced fundamental shifts toward "risk-based" guidelines, with human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping as a principal test for investigating squamous intraepithelial lesions. This study aims to provide practice-based evidence and supplement the updated guidelines by investigating HPV demographic distribution and uncovering the pathological features of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) caused by high-risk HPV (hrHPV) subtypes.

Methods: Patients who underwent Papanicolaou screening and HPV testing in two hospital systems over the course of 4 years were recruited.

The Impact and Feasibility of a Student-led Program to Connect Patients and Caregivers via Synchronous Audiovisual Technology During Restricted Visitation Policies.

Objective: During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, hospital visitation restrictions hindered patients' access to vital social support. This study explores the impact and feasibility of a student-led program facilitating audiovisual communication between inpatient rehabilitation patients and their caregivers.

Methods: The study design employed a prospective observational approach, and convenience sampling enrolled 99 participants, including 33 patients, 33 caregivers, and 33 medical students.

Promoting behavioural change by educating anaesthetists about the environmental impact of inhalational anaesthetic agents: A systematic review.

Of the total carbon footprint of Australia, 7% is attributed to healthcare. In the UK, inhalational agents make up 5% of the healthcare carbon footprint. This systematic review aims to determine which methods of education about the environmental impact of inhalational anaesthetic agents can be utilised to promote behaviour change, reducing the anaesthetic-related carbon footprint.

Data-Driven Surveillance Protocol for Patients at Risk for Peritoneal Recurrence of Primary Colon Cancer: Surveillance for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is rarely discovered early due to low sensitivity of screening imaging and tumor markers, however, earlier identification may improve outcomes. This study assesses risk factors and time to recurrence of PC and implementation of a surveillance system. Patients with stage II-III colon adenocarcinoma undergoing curative colectomy between 2005-2022 were retrospectively reviewed at a single tertiary care institution.

Putting 'X' into Context: The Diversity of ' Phytoplasma pruni' Strains Associated with the Induction of X-Disease.

Recurrent epiphytotics of X-disease, caused by ' Phytoplasma pruni,' have inflicted significant losses on commercial cherry and peach production across North America in the last century. During this period, there have been multiple studies reporting different disease phenotypes and, more recently, identifying different strains through sequencing core genes, but the symptoms have not, to date, been linked with genotype. Therefore, in this study we collected and assessed differing disease phenotypes from multiple U.

Early Outcomes of Lisfranc Injuries Treated with Arthrex InternalBrace: A Case Series.

Introduction: The treatment of Lisfranc injuries continues to evolve with time. The purpose of this study was to report early outcomes of patients with Lisfranc ligamentous injuries treated with the Arthrex InternalBrace, which has benefits to other previously described techniques.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively identified 15 adult patients with Lisfranc injuries that were treated via open reduction internal fixation with the Arthrex InternalBrace (Naples, Fl).

Urology Match: Important Factors Women Consider When Choosing a Residency Training Program.

Objective: To determine factors that women urology resident physicians rate as most influential when selecting residency programs.

Methods: Surveys were emailed to female urology residents during the 2021-2022 academic year. Residents scored 19 factors influencing residency program choice from 1 "least" to 5 "most" important and ranked their top 5 most influential factors.

Training Program Factors Most Important to Women When Selecting an Otolaryngology Residency.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine factors that female resident physicians find most influential when choosing an otolaryngology residency program.

Methods: A three-part survey was sent to current female otolaryngology residents via email evaluating the importance of 19 characteristics impacting program choice. The 19 factors were scored from 1 (least important) to 5 (most important).

Performance of the REAL-AF Same-Day Discharge Protocol in Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation.

Background: Same-day discharge (SDD) after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been widely adopted. Nevertheless, planned SDD has been performed by using subjective criteria rather than standardized protocols.

Objectives: The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of the previously described SDD protocol in a prospective multicenter study.

Educating health professionals in ultrasound guided peripheral intravenous cannulation: A systematic review of teaching methods, competence assessment, and patient outcomes.

Background: Peripheral intravenous cannula insertion is the most common invasive healthcare procedure, however failure rates remain unacceptably high, particularly in patients with difficult intravascular access. This leads to treatment delays and increased complication risk, causing poorer outcomes among this patient subset. Ultrasonographic guidance reduces these risks and is therefore becoming a competency required of health professionals.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy does not increase risk for anastomotic leak for simultaneous resection of primary colon cancer with synchronous liver metastasis: A NSQIP-colectomy analysis.

Background And Objectives: In patients with colon cancer with synchronous liver metastasis, treatment algorithms are complex and often require multidisciplinary evaluation. Neoadjuvant therapy is frequently utilized, but there is an unclear relationship with postoperative outcomes in patients with simultaneous resection.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program and Targeted Colectomy databases.

Current utilization of interosseous access in pediatrics: a population-based analysis using an EHR database, TriNetX.

Background: When central or peripheral intravenous access cannot be achieved in a timely manner, intraosseous (IO) access is recommended as a safe and equally effective alternative for pediatric resuscitation. IO usage and its complications in the pediatric population have been primarily studied in the setting of cardiac arrest. However, population-based studies identifying noncardiac indications and complications associated with different age groups are sparse.

Pharmacological therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis of monotherapy, augmentation and head-to-head approaches.

: Pharmacological approaches are widely used for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) despite uncertainty over efficacy. : To determine the efficacy of all pharmacological approaches, including monotherapy, augmentation and head-to-head approaches (drug versus drug, drug versus psychotherapy), in reducing PTSD symptom severity. : A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials were undertaken; 115 studies were included.

Monitoring Incidence of COVID-19 Cases, Hospitalizations, and Deaths, by Vaccination Status - 13 U.S. Jurisdictions, April 4-July 17, 2021.

COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection surveillance helps monitor trends in disease incidence and severe outcomes in fully vaccinated persons, including the impact of the highly transmissible B.1.617.

Effect of Inadequate Sleep on Frequent Mental Distress.

Introduction: One-third of US adults report sleeping less than the recommended amount, and approximately 20% live with a mental illness. The objective of our study was to examine the association between inadequate sleep and frequent mental distress in a population-based sample of US adults.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study by using 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data that included 273,695 US adults aged 18 to 64.
