Exploring issues surrounding mental health and wellbeing across two continents: A preliminary cross-sectional collaborative study between the University of California, Davis, and University of Pretoria.

Mental health and wellness research continue to be a topic of importance among veterinary students in the United States of America (US). Limited peer reviewed literature focusing on South African veterinary students is available. South African veterinary medical students might benefit from approaches to improve mental health and wellness similar to those recommended in the US.

The incidence of pediatric acute kidney injury is increased when identified by a change in a creatinine-based electronic alert.

A prospective national cohort study was undertaken to collect data on all cases of pediatric (under 18 yrs of age) acute kidney injury (AKI) identified by a biochemistry-based electronic alert using the Welsh National electronic AKI reporting system. Herein we describe the utility and limitation of using this modification of the KDIGO creatinine-based system data set to characterize pediatric AKI. Of 1,343 incident episodes over a 30-month period, 34.

Acute Kidney Injury in the Era of the AKI E-Alert.

Background And Objectives: Our aim was to use a national electronic AKI alert to define the incidence and outcome of all episodes of community- and hospital-acquired adult AKI.

Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: A prospective national cohort study was undertaken in a population of 3.06 million.

Mapping Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) items to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).

Background: The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a common framework for clinical outcome measurement. Because the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) is widely used for documenting change over time in individual patients receiving musculoskeletal physical therapy, investigation of the extent to which PSFS items reflect the ICF is needed.

Objective: The study objective was to investigate the extent to which patient-generated PSFS items reflect ICF domains.
