Quality of recovery after day care surgery with app-controlled remote monitoring: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: The majority of surgical interventions are performed in day care and patients are discharged after the first critical postoperative period. At home, patients have limited options to contact healthcare providers in the hospital in case of severe pain and nausea. A smartphone application for patients to self-record pain and nausea when at home after day care surgery might improve patient's recovery.

Remodeling in the AV block dog is essential for tolerating moderate treadmill activity.

Background: A preclinical model standardized at different remodeling stages after AV block induction in awake state is suitable for the evaluation of improved cardiac devices. We studied exercise-induced cardiorespiratory parameters at three different timepoints after inducing AV block in dogs.

Methods: Mongrel dogs (n = 12) were placed on a treadmill with a 10% incline and performed a moderate exercise protocol (10-minute run at 6 km/h).

Metastatic Patterns of Duodenopancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors in Patients With Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1.

Patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 syndrome (MEN1) often develop multifocal duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (dpNETs). Nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) and duodenal gastrinomas are the most frequent origins of metastasis. Current guidelines recommend surgery based on tumor functionality, size ≥2 cm, grade or presence of lymph node metastases.

Assessing the test-retest reliability and smallest detectable change of the Haemophilia Activities List.

Introduction: The Haemophilia Activities List (HAL) is a preferred instrument to measure self-reported limitations in activities in persons with haemophilia (PWH). Information on reliability and interpretability of HAL scores is lacking.

Aim: To examine the test-retest reliability and smallest detectable change (SDC) of the HAL in adult PWH.
