Learning by the Visualization of a Nurse-Led Critical Care Outreach Service Using the Functional Resonance Analysis Method.

Objectives: Quality improvements (QIs) in dynamic and complex health care contexts require resilience and take variability into account in quality improvement. The Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) helps us understand resilience and gain insight into (un)desirable variability in the complex system of daily practice. We explored how using FRAM in the Deming cycle of a QI project can help professionals and researchers learn from, reflect upon, and improve complex processes.

Anatomical variants of the retroaortic left renal vein.

Background: Anatomical variants of the left renal vein (LRV), such as the retroaortic (RLRV) and circumaortic (CLRV) course, are of surgical importance. Different morphological and topographical possibilities of the RLRV could occur. It was aimed at documenting the anatomical variables of the RLRV.

Morphological Study of Fossa Ovalis in Formalin-Fixed Human Hearts and Its Clinical Importance.

Our study aimed to investigate the gross anatomy aspects of the fossa ovalis (FO) and the presence of some anatomical variation resulting from the incomplete fusion of septum primum and septum secundum, such as an atrial septal pouch (SP) and left atrial septal ridge. Thirty-one adult human hearts removed from formalin-fixed specimens were examined to provide information about the morphology of the FO. The organs were free of any gross anatomically visible pathological conditions.

Maternal dietary fat intake during pregnancy and newborn body composition.

Objective: Increased infant birth weight and adiposity are associated with an altered risk of adult chronic diseases. The objective was to investigate the association between maternal dietary fat intake during pregnancy and newborn adiposity.

Study Design: The study included 79 singleton pregnancies.

Bilateral anatomical variations in the extensor compartment of forearm and hand.

An unusual variation of the extensor muscles was found during the routine dissection of the posterior compartment of the forearm. The left forearm presented an extensor medii proprius muscle, the tendon of which had an unusual trajectory. It passed through the second extensor compartment between the tendons of the extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis muscles.
