Objectives: This study evaluates and compares outcomes of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) created in a dialysis access dedicated office-based laboratory (OBL) and outpatient hospital setting.
Methods: All consecutive outpatient surgical autologous AVFs created at an academic hospital, community hospital, and an OBL from 2016-2020 were reviewed. Demographics, comorbidities, surgical procedure, complications, maturation, patency, and procedures for maintenance were assessed from time of surgical evaluation to latest available documentation.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to establish normative data for the active range of motion (ROM) of finger joints in a healthy Indian population, as such data was previously unavailable.
- Conducted across four geographical regions in India, certified goniometers were used for precise measurements, ensuring reliable data through a standardized methodology and pilot study.
- Results showed the middle finger had the highest flexion at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint, while the index finger had the greatest proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint flexion, providing insight into finger joint functionality in the sampled population.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the connection between different job histories and the risk of developing buccal mucosa cancer (BMC) in men aged 20-75 years, using a case-control approach across multiple centers in Mumbai.
- - Researchers found that certain occupations significantly increased the risk of BMC, including craft trades, machine operation, and elementary jobs, with specific groups like metal workers and drivers showing the highest risks.
- - The study suggests preventive measures, like minimizing hazardous exposure in these jobs and focusing on tobacco control, could help reduce BMC risk, and highlights the need for further research to pinpoint specific harmful exposures linked to the disease.
