Dorsal root entry zone lesioning for brachial plexus avulsion - technical evolution and long-term follow-up.

Background: Brachial plexus avulsion (BPA) injuries can cause severe deafferentation pain. This has been successfully treated with dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) lesioning. Distortions in anatomy following a BPA injury can make identifying neural structures challenging.

Initiative to increase family presence and participation in daily rounds on a paediatric acute care cardiology unit.

Introduction: Family-centred rounds benefit families and clinicians and improve outcomes in general paediatrics, but are understudied in subspecialty settings. We sought to improve family presence and participation in rounds in a paediatric acute care cardiology unit.

Methods: We created operational definitions for family presence, our process measure, and participation, our outcome measure, and gathered baseline data over 4 months of 2021.

Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation Special Article on Key Elements in Quality and Accreditation in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) represents an example of a highly complex and costly medical procedure with major applications in hematology and oncology. It is associated with life-threatening complications and, consequently, increased demands on healthcare resources. Although improving quality is an integral component of healthcare strategic planning, drivers of quality may be variable, and there is logical debate as to what drives quality in HSCT.
