Article Synopsis
- * LAARs can cause severe bleeding (coagulopathy) in humans if blood levels exceed 10 ng/mL, leading to numerous poisonings each year.
- * Various analytical methods, mainly using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), have been developed to quickly identify and analyze LAARs in patients experiencing severe bleeding, and these methods are evaluated for their validation and clinical utility.
Background: At-risk rural veterans have low rates of lung cancer screening (LCS). This proof-of-principle quality improvement project aimed to determine whether a telehealth intervention would increase referrals for at-risk veterans living in the rural upper Midwest and attending a smoking cessation program to LCS with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) of the chest.
Methods: Sixty-eight of 74 LCS-eligible rural veterans who self-enrolled in a smoking cessation program were contacted by telephone.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is highly prevalent in male veterans. Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) can effectively reduce all-cause mortality in these patients, but the effects of nasal cannula dislodgement (NCD) during sleep have not been well studied.
Methods: This study sought to determine whether veterans receiving LTOT for hypoxemic chronic respiratory failure (CRF) due to COPD reported NCD while they slept and, if so, its impact on hospitalizations for COPD exacerbations.
