Evaluating the SAFE Tool's Impact on Documentation and Patient Safety During Structured Ward Rounds in General Surgery: A Retrospective Study.

Aim  Effective documentation of critical clinical information is vital for patient safety and timely discharges. Ward rounds (WRs) are crucial for multidisciplinary assessments and care planning. Current emergency surgical WR documentation is inconsistent; therefore, this study will implement a structured WR template adapted from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh's "Surgical Assessment for Emergencies Ward Round Tool" (SAFE) to address these shortcomings.

Sacubitril/Valsartan in Heart Failure Hospitalization: Two Pills a Day to Keep Hospitalizations Away?

Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome with signs and symptoms that result from any structural or functional deterioration of ventricular filling or ejection of blood. It is the final stage of various cardiovascular diseases (e.g.

A Systematic Review of Yoga and Meditation for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Children.

With attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) being a prevalent disorder in childhood, it is essential to acknowledge the different adverse effects the disorder can have on the quality of life in children. Therefore, this systematic review focuses mainly on children. Medical therapy, especially stimulants, can have many side effects.

Sleep Disorders in Mild Cognitive Impairment.

We have an increasingly aging population and, therefore, cognitive impairment and dementia are becoming more common. Similarly, sleep disorders are also more common among the older population. There is a bidirectional relationship between mild cognitive impairment and sleep disorders.

The Significance of Sleep Disorders in Post-myocardial Infarction Depression.

Sleep disorders are highly prevalent and often missed comorbidities in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially important in patients with depression associated with post-myocardial infarction (MI). Proactive screening and targeted treatment for sleep disorders are essential to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with CVDs and MI in particular. We have reviewed all relevant information up to July 2022 regarding sleep disorders in CVD with a focus on post-MI depression and gathered around 350 articles in our research and narrowed it down to 31 articles.

Dermoid Cyst of the Penis: A Case Report of an Unusual Penile Mass.

Dermoid cysts are subcutaneous swellings that are usually congenital and originate from the sequestration of embryonic epithelium along the lines of embryonic closure. They are composed of a mixture of sebaceous fluid, keratin, cholesterol crystals, calcium, hair follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. They present as a non-tender mass that is well-circumscribed, firm in consistency, and usually asymptomatic.

A Systematic Review Exploring the Cardiovascular and Renal Effects of Empagliflozin in Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction.

The major cause of death in the United States is heart disease. The global burden of illness and mortality from heart failure is substantial. Despite recent innovations in the treatment of heart failure, the prognosis is still poor.

Role of Acute Physiology, Age, and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II Score in Predicting Outcomes of Peritonitis Due to Hollow Viscous Perforation: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) is the most commonly used severity-of-disease scoring system in ICUs worldwide. There is a paucity of data describing the role of APACHE II score in predicting outcomes of peritonitis due to hollow viscous perforation. This study aims at identifying the importance of the APACHE II score in predicting outcomes of patients with peritonitis secondary to hollow viscus perforation.
