Quality improvement collaboratives (QICs) use their collective experiences from participating centers to accelerate the translation of evidence into practice, resulting in reduced variation and improved clinical outcomes.

- NICUs (Neonatal Intensive Care Units) are used differently in the U.S., and the number of NICUs has increased without a clear reason related to how sick babies are.
- Many babies end up in the NICU unnecessarily, which can be expensive and stressful for families. It can also make breastfeeding harder.
- To improve how NICUs are used, experts suggest better planning for where babies are treated, creating rules for needing a NICU, improving how quickly babies can go home, and caring for some babies with conditions in other parts of the hospital instead of the NICU.

Nasal Deviation and Facial Asymmetry in Patients Undergoing Rhinoplasty.
Aesthet Surg J
October 2024
Background: The existing literature is conflicted on whether nasal deviation is primarily attributable to trauma or the result of asymmetric facial development.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of nasal trauma and facial asymmetry in patients undergoing rhinoplasty, and to determine if a correlation exists between the laterality of facial asymmetry and nasal deviation.
Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of patients who had undergone primary rhinoplasty with the senior author over a 12-month period.
