Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the two-year post-operative outcomes and healthcare costs of three uterus-sparing procedures for treating uterine fibroids in women who wish to maintain their uterus: LAP-RFA, myomectomy, and UAE.
- A total of 54 women were randomly assigned to undergo one of the procedures, and their results were compared to a larger group of women from insurance claims data.
- The findings revealed that LAP-RFA had the lowest costs and shortest hospital stays, while UAE had the highest costs and re-intervention rates, indicating that LAP-RFA may be the most cost-effective and efficient option among the three treatments for fibroids.
Study Design: Clinical trial.
Objective: To demonstrate that a 12-week exoskeleton-based robotic gait training regimen can lead to a clinically meaningful improvement in independent gait speed, in community-dwelling participants with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI).
Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation or research institute.
Background And Objectives: Symptomatic uterine fibroids are a societal and healthcare burden with no clear consensus among medical professionals as to which procedural treatment is most appropriate for each symptomatic patient. Our purpose was to determine whether recommendations can be made regarding best practice based on review and analysis of the literature since 2006.
Database: A systematic search of journal articles relevant to the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids was performed within PubMed, clinical society websites, and medical device manufacturers' websites.
Objective: Although respiratory care is a relatively new profession, its practitioners are deeply involved in providing patient care in the critical care. In preparation for writing this article, we sought to explore the respiratory therapy manpower needs and activities designed to fulfill those needs in critical care practice.
Materials And Methods: We began by delineating the historical development of respiratory care as a profession, the development of its education, and the professional credentialing system.
