Ultrasound assessment of short peripheral catheter failure.
J Vasc Access
August 2024
Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences "Luigi Sacco," University of Milan, Luigi Sacco Hospital, Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Short peripheral catheters (SPCs) often face high complication rates, and the Visual Infusion Phlebitis (VIP) score is commonly used to assess related inflammatory issues, but ultrasound might offer a better alternative.
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of both ultrasound and VIP score = 1 in identifying early signs of SPC failure in hospitalized patients, using an observational method over four days.
- Results showed that ultrasound was more sensitive and provided earlier warning signs of complications compared to VIP scores, suggesting ultrasound as a more effective tool for assessing SPC issues.
How can peer teaching influence the development of medical students? a descriptive, longitudinal interview study.
BMC Med Educ
November 2023
Skills Lab, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium.
Background: Peer-assisted learning (PAL) - where students take up a teaching role at an early stage of their training-is widely used in medical curricula. Many qualitative studies have investigated the perceptions and benefits of PAL, but no studies have longitudinally explored how peer teachers experienced their development. This could allow for a better understanding of PAL.

However, little is known about the practice of operationalizing enhanced care coordination, particularly in rural settings. The objective of this study was to determine care coordination practices in rural settings that integrate social services with health care.

Orthop J Sports Med
September 2020
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Stanford University, Redwood City, California, USA.
Background: Return to sport is a commonly studied outcome of hip arthroscopy that is relevant to both patients and providers. There exists substantial variability in criteria used to define successful return to sport.
Purpose: To review and evaluate the definitions used in the literature so as to establish a single standard to enable comparison of outcomes in future studies.

Article Synopsis
- Functional resistance training is used in gait rehabilitation, but the specific biomechanical and neuromuscular impacts of different methods haven't been analyzed thoroughly, which is essential for effective treatment of gait disorders.
- This study aimed to evaluate how different forms of functional resistance training affect joint moments, power, and muscle activation during walking using simulations in OpenSim and MATLAB.
- Findings showed that the type and location of resistance applied during training significantly influence joint dynamics and muscle usage across different walking phases, emphasizing the need for careful selection of resistance training methods in rehabilitation.
