Prospective Noninvasive Hemoglobin Monitoring in the Outpatient Total Joint Arthroplasty Setting.

Background: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is increasingly being performed as an outpatient (i.e., same-day discharge) procedure.

[Zr]Zr-DFO-TOC: a novel radiopharmaceutical for PET imaging of somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors.

Background: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are clinically diverse types of tumors that can arise anywhere in the body. Previous studies have shown that somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are overexpressed on NET cell membranes relative to healthy tissue, allowing for tumor targeting through radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (SSAs). This work aims to develop a novel Zr-labeled tracer incorporating the SSA, octreotide (TOC), for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of SSTR + NETs and predictive dosimetry calculations, leveraging the excellent nuclear (t = 3.

Studying the Role of Novel Carbon Nano Tubes as a Therapeutic Agent to Treat Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) - an and Study.

Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is a malignant cancer with a very high mortality rate around the world. African American(AA) women are 28% more likely to die from triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) than white women with the same diagnosis. AA patients are also more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage of the disease and have the lowest survival rates for any stage of diagnosis; There are very few existing anti TNBC drugs with therapeutic efficacy hence newer anti TNBC drug design and investigation is needed.

Decision fatigue in hospital settings: A scoping review.

Background: "Decision Fatigue" (DF) describes the impaired ability to make decisions because of repeated acts of decision-making.

Objectives: We conducted a scoping review to describe DF in inpatient settings.

Methods: To be included, studies should have explored a clinical decision, included a mechanism to account for the order of decision making, and be published in English in or after the year 2000.

ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Penetrating Torso Trauma.

This document assesses the appropriateness of various imaging studies for acute penetrating trauma to the torso. Penetrating trauma most commonly occurs from gunshots and stabbings, although any object can impale the patient. Anatomic location, type of penetrating trauma, and hemodynamic status are among the many important factors when deciding upon if, what, and when imaging is needed to further evaluate the patient.
