The treatment of peripheral nerve injuries has seen tremendous innovations over the past century. Dr Gotthelf Carl Huber, an American immigrant and early experimental pioneer in the field of peripheral nerve injury, created a foundation of scientific knowledge for these advancements. At the beginning of his career, Huber published novel work in peripheral nerve injury, supporting the concept of Wallerian degeneration and demonstrating the use of nerve grafting for repair.

Methods: The purpose of this review is to identify posttransplant mHealth applications that support patient self-management or a patient-provider relationship and aim to improve clinical outcomes. The interventions were then analyzed and evaluated to identify current gaps and future needs of mHealth apps in solid organ transplantation.
Background: The new kidney allocation changes with elimination of donor service areas (DSAs) and Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network regions were initiated to improve equity in organ allocation. The aim of this evaluation was to determine the operational, financial, and recipient-related effect of the new allocation system on a large rural transplantation program.
Study Design: A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of organ offers, allograft outcomes, and attributed costs in a comparative time cohort, before (December 16, 2020 to March 14, 2021) and after (March 15, 2021 to June 13, 2021) the allocation change was performed.
Background: Medication safety issues have detrimental implications on long-term outcomes in the high-risk kidney transplant (KTX) population. Medication errors, adverse drug events, and medication nonadherence are important and modifiable mechanisms of graft loss.
Objective: To describe the frequency and types of interventions made during a pharmacist-led, mobile health-based intervention in KTX recipients and the impact on patient risk levels.
Article Synopsis
- Early referral of neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) is crucial for better outcomes, but a lack of knowledge about the condition causes delays, particularly in Saudi Arabia.
- A survey of 273 North American healthcare providers evaluated their understanding of NBPP, revealing similar levels of knowledge to Saudi providers, yet notable gaps in the recognition of NBPP's natural history and referral timing between different healthcare settings.
- Despite generally adequate knowledge, both North American and Saudi providers tend to overestimate the likelihood of spontaneous recovery, highlighting a global need for improved education on NBPP diagnosis and management.
