Decreasing Pressure Injuries on an Adult Inpatient Unit through Implementation of a Nutrition Assessment and Management Process.

Methods: There were three steps in this intervention. First, patients with a Braden Scale score of 18 or lower were identified as being at risk for HAPI.

A review of MRI studies in Africa with special focus on quantitative MRI: Historical development, current status and the role of medical physicists.

This scoping review provides overview on the historical and major developments, current status, quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) studies and the role of medical physics bodies in MR imaging in Africa. The study analyzed MRI availability in 32 (59 %) of the 54 African countries. South Africa and Egypt have the most dominant MR systems.

[Improving Quality of Life in Patients with Refractory Schizophrenia After Virtual Reality-assisted Therapy: A Content Analysis].

Objectives Schizophrenia, particularly treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS), is one of the most disabling psychiatric disorders in terms of adverse effects on the quality of life (QOL) of patients. Subjective QOL has become a particularly crucial target that should be improved with treatment, since improved QOL may lead to recovery in patients with schizophrenia. However, there is little evidence on the efficacy of recommended psychosocial interventions on non-symptomatic measures such as QOL.

Pleural anthracosis presenting with massive effusion: a rare entity.

He was initially referred for possible tuberculous pleural effusion and had recurrent admissions for symptomatic pleural effusion, which increased with each subsequent episode.
