Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent and influences the prognosis of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence, time-course, risk factors, and mortality of AKI among unselected ICU patients.
Methods: All adult ICU patients admitted to the ICU at the University Hospital in Central Norway from 2010 to 2015 with a stay of 24 h or more were included in the study.
Teleophthalmology is a validated method for diabetic eye screening that is underutilized in U.S. primary care clinics.

We investigated the effectiveness of a QLB as an addition to the current multimodal analgesia regimen in postbariatric patients treated with standard full abdominoplasty.
Methods: Randomized, placebo-controlled, triple blinded study ( = 50).
Objective: Teleophthalmology for diabetic eye screening is an evidence-based intervention substantially underused in US multipayer primary care clinics, even when equipment and trained personnel are readily available. We sought to identify patient and primary care provider (PCP) barriers, facilitators, as well as strategies to increase teleophthalmology use.
Design: We conducted standardised open-ended, individual interviews and analysed the transcripts using both inductive and directed content analysis to identify barriers and facilitators to teleophthalmology use.
