Pharmacist Impact in a Post Neuro Intensive Care Virtual Clinic (PREVAIL).

Traditional Post-Intensive Care Recovery Clinics (PIRCs) often exclude neurocritical care patients. In 2020, a multidisciplinary team started Post Neuro Intensive Care Virtual Clinic (PREVAIL) that uses telemedicine to provide consultative care for patients with a primary neurologic injury who are at risk for post-intensive care syndrome. During clinic, critical care pharmacists perform medication reconciliations and provide drug therapy recommendations.

Is the Vertical-Horizontal Illusion a Byproduct of the Environmental Vertical Illusion?

The vertical-horizontal illusion is the overestimation of a vertical line compared to a horizontal line of the same length. Jackson and Cormack (2007) proposed that the vertical-horizontal illusion might be a byproduct of the mechanisms that generate the environmental vertical illusion, which is the tendency to overestimate vertical distances (i.e.

Biomechanical Study of a Subscapularis Repair Technique for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

Secure subscapularis repair is an essential element of total shoulder arthroplasty. Some surgeons prefer subscapularis peel because of ease of use, but some evidence suggests that lesser tuberosity osteotomy provides better fixation. The authors developed a novel, through-implant repair technique and performed a biomechanical study of its strength with cadaveric specimens.

Early Outcomes Following Metal-on-Metal Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty in Patients Younger Than 50 Years.

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is a useful intervention for older patients with glenohumeral arthritis and a deficient rotator cuff. However, as a semiconstrained prosthesis, conventional reverse TSA implanted in a young patient could fail over time secondary to polyethylene wear and subsequent osteolysis. A metal-on-metal prosthesis may avoid this type of failure.

Hyper extension-internal rotation (HERI): A new test for anterior gleno-humeral instability.

Background: Anterior shoulder dislocation causes injury to the inferior gleno-humeral ligament (IGHL) and capsule. Clinical manoeuvres currently used to evaluate the IGHL test for, and may induce, apprehension. We developed the hyper extension-internal rotation (HERI) test to assess the IGHL and inferior capsule without causing apprehension or inducing a risk of gleno-humeral dislocation.
