The Agreement Between Transthoracic and Transesophageal Echocardiography in the Assessment of Right Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction Grades in Adult Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study.

Introduction The importance of right ventricular (RV) diastolic function in cardiac surgery cannot be overstated, as it significantly affects prognosis and long-term outcomes. Conventionally, RV diastolic dysfunction (RVDD) is assessed and graded using criteria from either the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) or the British Society of Echocardiography (BSE), with measurements done by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). However, during cardiac surgery, perioperative echocardiographic evaluation is done predominantly by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Contributions of digital technologies for resilience capacity in a type 1 diabetes transition clinic: A qualitative study.

A type 1 diabetes (T1D) transition clinic in Sydney, Australia, provides age specific care for young adults (aged 16-25 years) and for adults (aged 21 years and above), and has reported improved clinical outcomes post transition to adult care over a 21-year period. This study investigated the contribution of digital technology to long-term resilient capacity of the clinic. Clinic observations and interviews with eight providers and 17 young adults were conducted.

Benefits, implementation and sustainability of innovative paediatric models of care for children with type 1 diabetes: a systematic review.

Background And Aim: The evidence about the acceptability and effectiveness of innovative paediatric models of care for Type 1 diabetes is limited. To address this gap, we synthesised literature on implemented models of care, model components, outcomes, and determinants of implementation and sustainability.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted and reported in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Quality measures in primary care skin cancer management: a qualitative study of the views of key informants.

Objectives: This study explored potential quality measures to improve skin cancer management in primary care settings, and the barriers and facilitators associated with their implementation.

Design: Semistructured interviews and qualitative proforma surveys were conducted with skin cancer experts from a range of healthcare settings. Framework analysis was employed to identify key groups of quality measures within the domains of the Donabedian model of healthcare quality (structure, process, outcome).

A Rare Case of Early-Onset Postpneumonectomy Syndrome After Right Pneumonectomy in Patient with Small Cell Carcinoma Right Lung.

Postpneumonectomy syndrome (PPS) is a rare, life-threatening complication characterized by dynamic airway obstruction due to mediastinal rotation at any time point following pneumonectomy. This can produce life-threatening respiratory and cardiovascular complications. We report a case who developed PPS following right pneumonectomy in a 55-year-old female patient with small cell carcinoma (SCC) right lung.

Chyle leak after head and neck surgeries: a comprehensive review of diagnosis and management strategies.

Chyle leaks are uncommon complications after head and neck surgeries. Although uncommon, such a complication is noteworthy mention due to its perplexing diagnosis and management strategies. This scoping review aims to highlight and emphasize the diagnosis and management options proposed in the literature.

Implementation considerations for risk-tailored cancer screening in the population: A scoping review.

Background: Risk-tailored screening has emerged as a promising approach to optimise the balance of benefits and harms of existing population cancer screening programs. It tailors screening (e.g.

A review of skin cancer primary prevention activities in primary care settings.

Objectives: Skin cancer is highly preventable through primary prevention activities such as avoiding ultraviolet radiation exposure during peak times and regular use of sun protection. General practitioners (GPs) and primary care nurses have key responsibilities in promoting sustained primary prevention behaviour. We aimed to review the evidence on skin cancer primary prevention activities in primary care settings, including evidence on feasibility, effectiveness, barriers and enablers.

Built to last? Barriers and facilitators of healthcare program sustainability: a systematic integrative review.

Objective: To identify barriers and facilitators associated with the sustainability of implemented and evaluated improvement programs in healthcare delivery systems.

Data Sources And Study Setting: Six academic databases were searched to identify relevant peer-reviewed journal articles published in English between July 2011 and June 2022. Studies were included if they reported on healthcare program sustainability and explicitly identified barriers to, and facilitators of, sustainability.

Measuring the quality of skin cancer management in primary care: A scoping review.

Skin cancer is a growing global problem and a significant health and economic burden. Despite the practical necessity for skin cancer to be managed in primary care settings, little is known about how quality of care is or should be measured in this setting. This scoping review aimed to capture the breadth and range of contemporary evidence related to the measurement of quality in skin cancer management in primary care settings.
