Disaster Preparedness in Families With Children With Special Health Care Needs.

Children with special health care needs (CSHCN) may present unique challenges for disaster preparedness. This study's objective was to determine the impact of a disaster supply starter kit intervention on preparedness for families of CSHCN. The study was a 1-group pre-post cohort design with consecutive enrollment at the Arkansas Children's Hospital Medical Home Clinic.

Fluid temperatures during radiofrequency use in shoulder arthroscopy: a cadaveric study.

Cadaveric shoulders underwent thermal capsulorrhaphy and subacromial decompression with 3 different commercially available radiofrequency (RF) devices to evaluate local and regional fluid temperatures while arthroscopic procedures were being performed. Fifteen completely thawed fresh-frozen shoulders underwent both thermal capsulorrhaphy and subacromial decompression. During thermal capsulorrhaphy, Fluoroptic mini-thermometer probes (Luxtron model 3000) were placed in the inflow bag; in the glenohumeral joint, near the inferior glenohumeral ligament; and on the RF wand.
