Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC) has created, developed, embraced, and shared its vision of a total healing environment. The management/leadership team identified the values of respect, integrity, accountability, commitment, and quality as norms of behavior to reach YRMC's vision. This article describes how senior management at YRMC supports and reinforces the healing process as part of their everyday work life, resulting in better patient care and an improved bottom line. Nursing executives know that healing is the mantra of caregiving and the foundation of nursing itself. It is an invitation to each employee to invite his/her soul to work, which allows all employees to partner with nursing to become caregivers for each other. Understanding the transformation at YRMC begins with reading and listening to the stories that follow of the experiences and talents of the employees. Others are encouraged to use our model by first recognizing the positive talents and experience of staff members and then telling and retelling the stories that come from these experiences. We believe this will enhance the current healing in your organization and improve your environment "one conversation at a time," as it happened at YRMC. Yavapai Regional Medical Center is proud of its accomplishments. We wish to share our story and journey so that each nurse executive can be inspired to develop and live his/her own vision to create this healing environment.

Background: Excessive perioperative bleeding is associated with major complications in cardiac surgery, resulting in increased morbidity, mortality, and cost.
Methods: An international expert panel was convened to develop consensus statements on the control of bleeding and management of transfusion and to suggest key quality metrics for cardiac surgical bleeding. The panel reviewed relevant literature from the previous 10 years and used a modified RAND Delphi methodology to achieve consensus.
In vivo spectrally unmixed multi-photon imaging of longitudinal axon-glia changes in injured spinal white matter.

Understanding the sequence of cellular responses and their contributions to pathomorphogical changes in spinal white matter injuries is a prerequisite for developing efficient therapeutic strategies for spinal cord injury (SCI) as well as neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases of the spinal cord such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis. We have developed several types of surgical procedures suitable for acute one-time and chronic recurrent in vivo multiphoton microscopy of spinal white matter [1]. Sophisticated surgical procedures were combined with transgenic mouse technology to image spinal tissue labeled with up to four fluorescent proteins (FPs) in axons, astrocytes, microglia, and blood vessels.

Cameron lesions are rare causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). The lesions are linear erosions or ulcers that develop in the sac of a hiatal hernia, which often go unnoticed in the upper gastrointestinal system, and are a prevalent cause of anemia resulting from iron deficiency. Postponed treatment can result in severe consequences such as potentially fatal hemorrhaging.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is an uncommon complication of esophageal cancer and can be extremely fatal if left untreated. Compared to open repair, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), a less invasive technique, is the initial recommended treatment in cases of hemorrhagic shock secondary to AEF, as this procedure showed a favorable outcome in controlling the overt bleeding. Here, we present a case of a patient with a history of stage IV esophageal cancer being treated with chemotherapy and an esophageal stent due to a previous tracheoesophageal fistula who presented to the emergency room due to severe gastroesophageal bleeding and hemorrhagic shock.
