Patient experience with enhanced recovery and early discharge after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy: a qualitative study.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to describe patient experiences with an enhanced recovery protocol (ERP) after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (SCP).

Methods: We conducted 14 semi-structured telephone interviews with women who had undergone SCP and were discharged the day of the surgery (POD#0, n = 7) or spent 1 night at the hospital (POD#1, n = 7). Interviews occurred between 2 and 6 weeks after surgery.

Rhabdomyolysis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury With Normal Creatine Phosphokinase.

Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome characterized by the breakdown of skeletal muscle and leakage of intracellular myocyte contents, such as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and myoglobin, into the interstitial space and plasma resulting in acute kidney injury (AKI). Elevated CPK of at least 5 times the upper limit of normal is an important diagnostic marker of Rhabdomyolysis. We present a case of rhabdomyolysis with severe AKI with a normal CPK at presentation.

Diffusion tensor imaging of neurodevelopment in children and young adults.

Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) was used to study regional changes in the brain's development from childhood (8-12 years, mean 11.1 +/- 1.3, N = 32) to young adulthood (21-27 years, mean 24.

Imaging brain connectivity in children with diverse reading ability.

Reading is a complex cognitive skill that requires the coordination of multiple brain regions. Although functional neuroimaging studies highlight the cortical brain regions associated with a specific cognitive task like reading, they do not directly address the underlying neural connections necessary for efficient performance of this task. Adults with reading disability have demonstrated lower regional white matter connectivity, but it is not known whether this relationship between neuronal wiring and reading performance also holds in younger readers.
