JONAS Healthc Law Ethics Regul

Department of Nursing, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT, USA.

Published: September 2010

Good documentation does not necessarily equate to good care. This article explores the potential underpinnings of poor documentation from an ethical decision-making lens. Nursing standards of care related to documentation are reviewed. The internal and external constraints of moral distress are considered, as is moral residue. Finally, the roles of the nurse administrator as well as specific remedial and restorative measures are suggested.

Purpose: Our study presents a virtual reality-based tangent screen test (VTS) to measure subjective ocular deviations including torsion in nine directions of gaze. The test was compared to the analogous Harms tangent screen test (HTS).

Methods: We used an Oculus Go controller and head-mounted-display with rotation sensors to measure patient's head orientation for the VTS.

  • Mobile LiDAR technology, using the iPhone's LiDAR scanner, offers an affordable alternative to traditional 3D imaging in plastic surgery, potentially increasing accessibility for surgical planning.
  • In a study involving 25 patients, LiDAR measurements proved highly accurate for most breast measurements and showed excellent inter-rater reliability.
  • The analysis indicated a significant cost reduction of 97.8% compared to conventional 3D systems, with measurement accuracy stabilizing after just a few uses.

The reasons for this include a lack of specific therapy options, increasing antiparasitic drug resistance, a lack of control strategies, and the absence of an approved vaccine. The aim of the current study is to develop a multiepitope vaccine against CE by in-silico identification and using different Antigen B subunits.

Outcomes of All-Inside Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction with Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis (ACLR + LET).

Indian J Orthop

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedics, Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, KIIT University, Bhubaneshwar, Odisha 751024 India.

Background: Anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction (ACLR) produces good results when the graft and tunnel are positioned in the anatomic footprint on the femoral and tibial insertion sites in a more oblique orientation. The of the knee and its biomechanical role in controlling rotational laxity, internal rotation, and pivot shift has led to adding adjunctive procedures like extra-articular augmentation and lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) to decrease rotational laxity. We prospectively analyzed young adults with rotational instability and generalized laxity undergoing an arthroscopic single bundle ACLR with an additional LET procedure.
