Miscommunication in the OR is a threat to patient safety and surgical efficiency. Our objective was to measure the frequency and causes of communication interference between robotic team members. We observed 78 robotic surgeries over 215 h.

- Integrase strand transfer inhibitor (InSTI)-based antiretroviral therapies can lead to increased weight gain in people with HIV, prompting the DEFINE study to explore if switching to a protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimen could reverse this trend.
- The study involved 103 adults who were either switched to a specific PI regimen (darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/TAF) or continued their current treatment for the first half before the switch, with weight change measured primarily at 24 weeks.
- Results showed no significant weight change at 24 weeks between the two groups, but a potential trend toward weight loss was noted at 48 weeks, particularly in subgroups with higher weight gain risk, suggesting
Background: In the prehospital tranexamic acid (TXA) for traumatic brain injury (TBI) trial, TXA administered within 2 hours of injury in the out-of-hospital setting did not reduce mortality in all patients with moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). We examined the association between TXA dosing arms, neurologic outcome, and mortality in patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) on computed tomography (CT).
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the Prehospital Tranexamic Acid for TBI Trial ( ClinicalTrials.
