Work-related Fatigue: Relationship between Perceived and Performance Fatigability in Career Firefighters.
J Occup Environ Med
November 2024
Neuromuscular and Occupational Performance Laboratory, Department of Kinesiology and Sport Management, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX, United States.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to 1) examine the relationship between perceived work-related fatigue and performance fatigability, and 2) assess the impact of percent body fat (%BF) on perceived fatigue constructs in career firefighters.
Methods: Thirty-nine career firefighters completed body composition testing, the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery (OFER15) scale assessing three subscales of work-related fatigue (acute fatigue, chronic fatigue, and inter-shift recovery), and maximal leg extensor isometric strength testing prior to and following an isotonic fatiguing protocol.
Results: Performance fatigability was not associated with any of the OFER15 perceived work-related fatigue variables (P ≥ 0.

PLoS One
January 2025
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, United States of America.
Background: The July effect in US teaching hospitals has been studied with conflicting results. We aimed to evaluate the effect of physician turnover in July on the clinical outcomes of patients hospitalized with cirrhosis.
Methods: We utilized the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database (2016-2019) to identify patients hospitalized with cirrhosis and liver-related complications (variceal bleeding, hepatorenal syndrome, acute-on-chronic liver failure).
Communication needs regarding heart failure trajectory and palliative care between patients and healthcare providers: A cross-sectional study.
PLoS One
January 2025
College of Nursing and Research Institute of Nursing Science, Ajou University, Suwon, Korea.
Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic condition with an unpredictable trajectory, making effective communication between patients and healthcare providers crucial for optimizing outcomes. This study aims to investigate and compare the communication needs regarding HF trajectory and palliative care between patients and healthcare providers and to identify factors associated with the communication needs of patients with HF.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 100 patients with HF and 35 healthcare providers.
Developing a Risk Score for Predicting Multiple Revision Surgeries in Patients With Fracture-Related Infections.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Yeager, Rutz, Strother, Spitler, and Johnson), and the Heersink School of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Gross, Benson, and Carter).
Introduction: Postoperative infections are a leading cause of morbidity following fracture repair. The purpose of this study is to develop a risk score predicting fracture-related infection (FRI) that will require one versus multiple revision surgeries related to infection eradication and bone healing.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single level I trauma center from 2013 to 2020.
