AI Article Synopsis
- The study aims to identify factors that cause differences in how patients with abdominal aortic aneurism are treated across hospitals.
- Researchers observed 26 meetings between surgeons and patients at two community hospitals and one university hospital, analyzing clinical workflow scenarios.
- Significant differences in patient treatment paths and the roles of healthcare providers were noted, suggesting that healthcare planning should focus on improving care while also fostering the development and maintenance of surgical skills.
Article Abstract
Objective: To identify factors influencing variations in clinical work in the care of patients with abdominal aortic aneurism.
Method: Ethnographic observations of 26 meetings between surgeons and patients in two community hospitals and one university hospital. Observations data were abstracted into scenarios that describe the typical clinical workflow. Characterizations of features of the scenarios were performed.
Results: When comparing the university hospital and the community hospitals we find large variations in patient trajectories, and in the relation between actors' and roles.
Conclusion: Given a clinical domain distinguished by an unrelenting search for new and improved surgical techniques, workflow system requirements should reflect that healthcare planning not only is conducted with the purpose of providing care but also with purpose of developing new or maintaining existing surgical skills.

Department of Community Physiotherapy, Pioneer Physiotherapy College, Vadodara, Gujarat, India.
Context: Cleaning consists of different activities such as mopping, sweeping, swabbing, dusting, disposing of trash, and buffing. These different physical activities of the cleaners can change the body's normal biomechanics, possibly leading to the development of musculoskeletal disorders over time.
Aims: This study aimed to check the ergonomic risk and its relationship with age, BMI, and work experience among cleaners.
The Calgary Kids' Hand Rule: External Validation of a Prediction Model to Triage Pediatric Hand Fractures.
Plast Surg (Oakv)
February 2025
Department of Surgery and Department of Community Health Sciences, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Alberta Children's Hospital, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The Calgary Kids' Hand Rule (CKHR) is a clinical prediction rule intended to guide referral decisions for pediatric hand fractures presenting to the emergency department, identifying "complex" fractures that require surgical referral and optimizing care through better matching of patients' needs to provider expertise. The objective of this study was to externally validate the CKHR in two different tertiary pediatric hospitals in Canada. We partnered with British Columbia Children's Hospital (BCCH) and the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) to externally validate the CKHR using data from retrospective cohorts of pediatric hand fractures (via electronic medical record and x-ray review).

Medical Virology Unit, Faculty of Basic Medical and Applied Sciences, Lead City University and Primary Health Care Board, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
Background: Dengue fever (DF) poses a growing global threat, necessitating a comprehensive one-health approach to address its complex interplay between human, animal, and environmental factors. In Oyo State, Nigeria, the true burden of DF remains unknown due to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis as malaria, exacerbated by poor health-seeking behavior, weak surveillance systems, and inadequate health infrastructure. Adopting a one-health approach is crucial to understanding the dynamics of DF transmission.
