Consecutive Microsurgical Cases Performed by Single Surgeon at a Canadian Tertiary Care Center: A Retrospective Review.

The practice of a microsurgeon evolves over time with experience, changes in clinical interest, and practice setting. Previous reports suggest that complication rates may be influenced by years of practice. The aim of this study was to analyze consecutive microsurgical cases performed by a single surgeon during the first half of their career in a broad microsurgical practice at a Canadian academic tertiary care center.

Exploring the communication access and participation of a young adult with autism spectrum disorder with limited speech and inpatient nursing staff.

This study aimed to describe the nature of interactions between health care professionals and a young adult with autism spectrum disorder with limited speech during an inpatient stay. An observational study was conducted to describe the interactions between a young adult on the autism spectrum and 14 of his inpatient health care providers. Naturalistic video-recordings were taken, and behavioral coding was completed to measure the frequency and type of communication turns taken.

Outcome Prediction Using Multi-Modal Information: Integrating Large Language Model-Extracted Clinical Information and Image Analysis.

Survival prediction post-cystectomy is essential for the follow-up care of bladder cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate artificial intelligence (AI)-large language models (LLMs) for extracting clinical information and improving image analysis, with an initial application involving predicting five-year survival rates of patients after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. Data were retrospectively collected from medical records and CT urograms (CTUs) of bladder cancer patients between 2001 and 2020.

Peripheral nerve decompression for pain relief in the setting of previous obstetrical brachial plexus injury: a retrospective case series.

Purpose: In children with previous obstetrical brachial plexus injury (OBPI), upper extremity pain is present in 45 to 66% of patients. Recent literature reports this as musculoskeletal or neuropathic in nature. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate that peripheral nerve decompression, and neurolysis may be an effective treatment for patients with upper extremity pain in the context of previous OBPI.

Yet, the complexity of SM programs and required documentation are major barriers to implementing this program for nurses. School nurses are often required to participate in the SM program without having a clear understanding of the purpose and components of the overall program.
