Background: Studies have demonstrated that standardizing labor induction (IOL), often with the use of protocols, may reduce racial inequities in obstetrics. IOL protocols are complex, multi-component interventions. To target identified implementation barriers, audit and feedback (A&F) was selected as an implementation strategy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Cesarean delivery remains the most common obstetrical procedure with more than 250,000 patients in the US undergoing cesarean following labor induction annually. Here, we evaluated the impact of prospectively implementing a standardized labor induction protocol on cesarean delivery rates.
Methods: This multi-site type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation study compared 2 years before (PRE) and 2 years after (POST) implementation of a standardized labor induction protocol at two hospitals within the University of Pennsylvania Health System (2018-2022).
Objective: Dye-diluent combinations have different nerve-staining behavior, making locoregional cadaveric dye study findings difficult to compare. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of 4 diluents on nerve color saturation when used in combination with commercial food dye.
Methods: 48 unpreserved brachial plexus nerves were randomized into 4 diluent groups.
Importance: Patients with lung cancer have poor physical functioning and quality of life. Despite promising outcomes for those who undertake exercise programs, implementation into practice of previously tested hospital-based programs is rare.
Objective: To evaluate a home-based exercise and self-management program for patients after lung resection.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the impact of maternal vitamin D levels during the first and second trimesters on fetal growth and pregnancy outcomes, revealing key findings regarding its importance during early pregnancy.
- Results indicated that vitamin D insufficiency was common in the first trimester, with every 10 nmol/L increase in vitamin D correlating to better fetal length growth, but not influence weight or head size.
- The study found a significant risk increase for preterm birth among mothers with very low vitamin D levels (<40 nmol/L), while second trimester levels showed no significant associations with growth patterns or outcomes.
