Seven tesla knee MRI T2*-mapping detects intrasubstance meniscus degeneration in patients with posterior root tears.

Background: Medial meniscus root tears often lead to knee osteoarthritis. The extent of meniscal tissue changes beyond the localized root tear is unknown.

Purpose: To evaluate if 7 Tesla 3D T2*-mapping can detect intrasubstance meniscal degeneration in patients with arthroscopically verified medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs), and assess if tissue changes extend beyond the immediate site of the posterior root tear detected on surface examination by arthroscopy.

Impact of geographical cohorting, multidisciplinary rounding and incremental case management support on hospital length of stay and readmission rates: a propensity weighted analysis.

Hospital length of stay (LOS) in the USA has been increasing since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with numerous negative outcomes, including decreased quality of care, worsened patient satisfaction and negative financial impacts on hospitals. While many proposed factors contributing to prolonged LOS are challenging to modify, poor coordination of care and communication among clinical teams can be improved.Geographical cohorting of provider teams, patients and other clinical staff is proposed as a solution to prolonged LOS and readmissions.

Patients' experiences with early rehabilitation in intensive care units: A qualitative study about aspects that influence their participation.

Aim: To explore patients' experiences with early rehabilitation in the intensive care unit and what they perceive to influence their participation.

Design: A qualitative design anchored in phenomenological and hermeneutical traditions utilizing in-depth interviews.

Methods: Thirteen patients were interviewed from 5 to 29 weeks following discharge from three units, in January-December 2022.

The diverse invitations to participate in early rehabilitation - A qualitative study of nurse-patient interactions in the intensive care unit.

Objectives: To gain insight into the interaction between nurses and patients in early rehabilitation and the role of patient participation in this context.

Research Design And Setting: A qualitative study with a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach was conducted in two units/hospitals from January 2022 to January 2023, utilizing observations and video recordings of eight nurse/patient dyads combined with post observation interviews with the nurses. The study was analysed by systematic text condensation and video analysis, informed by interaction theory.

First Observation of Cyclotron Radiation from MeV-Scale e^{±} following Nuclear β Decay.

We present an apparatus for detection of cyclotron radiation yielding a frequency-based β^{±} kinetic energy determination in the 5 keV to 2.1 MeV range, characteristic of nuclear β decays. The cyclotron frequency of the radiating β particles in a magnetic field is used to determine the β energy precisely.
