Reduced Postdischarge Incidents After Implementation of a Hospital-to-Home Transition Intervention for Children With Medical Complexity.

Objectives: Prior research suggests that errors occur frequently for patients with medical complexity during the hospital-to-home transition. Less is known about effective postdischarge communication strategies for this population. We aimed to assess rates of 30-day (1) postdischarge incidents and (2) readmissions and emergency department (ED) visits before and after implementing a hospital-to-home intervention.

Association between radiotherapy and obstructive sleep apnea in head and neck cancer patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate association between OSA and radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients.

Methods: On 9th of September 2018, we have searched 12 electronic databases to retrieve relevant studies. All eligible studies that assessed association between OSA and radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients were included in our meta-analysis.

The renoprotective effect of glycyrrhizic acid in insulin-resistant rats exposed to aluminum involves the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Aluminum is well recognized as a nephrotoxic agent. Its hazardous effects arise from the high risk of daily exposure. The consumption of fructose also represents a critical health issue that might negatively impact different organs, including the kidneys.
