Department of Surgery, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Background: This study aimed to assess the contribution of human error to adverse events over 10 years in a single surgical department in South Africa.
Methods: A retrospective database analysis was undertaken to identify all adverse events, which were further assessed to identify which were error-associated.
Results: A total of 14 237 adverse events occurred between December 2012 and January 2023, of which 7 504 (52.

Background: Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome (STSS) is a life-threatening condition caused by bacterial toxins. The STSS triad encompasses high fever, hypotensive shock, and a "sunburn-like" rash with desquamation. STSS, like Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), is a rare complication of streptococcal infec-tions caused by Group A Streptococcus (GAS), Streptococcal pyogenes (S.

Climate change is among the most urgent challenges of our time. While often considered a problem for the natural and physical sciences, the humanities and social sciences have made equally important interventions into research on the reciprocal relationship between humans and our climate. Because demography occupies the intersection of the natural and social sciences, and because it deals specifically with rates of change in social and natural processes, we believe it can make valuable contributions to the pressing imperatives of understanding and addressing climate change and mitigating the harms it is already visiting on the world's most vulnerable people.

National Center for Natural Products Research, The University of Mississippi, Mississippi, 38677, MS, USA.
Establishing and maintaining colonies of imported fire ants (IFA) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the laboratory are crucial for research. Dehydration is one of the major mortality factors in IFA, and the ants tend to relocate from dry to moist places. In our laboratory, we developed a moisture differential technique to extract fire ant colonies from mound materials.

Int J Cardiovasc Imaging
January 2025
Cardiology, Endeavor NorthShore Cardiovascular Institute, Evanston, IL, USA.
This study aims to evaluate the implementation of concomitant CAD assessment on pre-TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) planning CTA (CT angiography) aided by CT-FFR (CT-fractional flow reserve) [The CT2TAVI protocol] and investigates the incremental value of CT-FFR to coronary CT angiography (CCTA) alone in the evaluation of patients undergoing CT2TAVI. This is a prospective observational real-world cohort study at an academic health system on consecutive patients who underwent CTA for TAVI planning from 1/2021 to 6/2022. This represented a transition period in our health system, from not formally reporting CAD on pre-TAVI planning CTA (Group A) to routinely reporting CAD on pre-TAVI CTA (Group B; CT2TAVI protocol).
