Decreasing Postanesthesia Care Unit Length of Stay for Carpal Tunnel Release Patients: A Quality Improvement Initiative.
J Perianesth Nurs
January 2025
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC. Electronic address:
Purpose: The purpose of the project was to reduce the occurrence of nonclinical delays resulting in increased postanesthesia care unit length of stay for carpal tunnel release patients in an ambulatory orthopedic surgery center through the implementation of new workflow processes in both the preoperative and postoperative phases of care.
Design: Pre-post design, with data being analyzed both before and after implementation of evidence-based quality improvement measures to assess for effectiveness of project interventions.
Methods: At the ambulatory orthopedic surgery center, preintervention data were gathered for 6 months on carpal tunnel release patients (n = 185) to determine the root causes of discharge delays (January to June 2023).
Myocardial Fibroblast Activation After Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Study.
J Am Coll Cardiol
November 2024
British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence, the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom.
Background: Myocardial fibrosis is a key healing response after myocardial infarction driven by activated fibroblasts. Gallium-68-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor ([Ga]-FAPI) is a novel positron-emitting radiotracer that binds activated fibroblasts.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the intensity, distribution, and time-course of fibroblast activation after acute myocardial infarction.

December 2024
UCL MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing, University College London, London, United Kingdom; UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science, University College London, London, United Kingdom; Centre for Inherited Heart Muscle Conditions, Cardiology Department, Royal Free Hospital, London, United Kingdom. Electronic address:
Background: Aircraft noise is a growing concern for communities living near airports.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the impact of aircraft noise on heart structure and function.
Methods: Nighttime aircraft noise levels (L) and weighted 24-hour day-evening-night aircraft noise levels (L) were provided by the UK Civil Aviation Authority for 2011.
Demographic-Based Personalized Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Thresholds for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Diagnosis.
J Am Coll Cardiol
December 2024
Barts Heart Centre, Barts Health NHS Trust, West Smithfield, London, United Kingdom; Institute of Cardiovascular Science, University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. Current diagnosis emphasizes the detection of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) using a fixed threshold of ≥15-mm maximum wall thickness (MWT). This study proposes a method that considers individual demographics to adjust LVH thresholds as an alternative to a 1-size-fits-all approach.
