Purpose: In cardiovascular surgeries, iron deficiency anemia and transfusion of blood products are associated with mortality and morbidity, prolonged hospital stay and poor patient outcomes. Patient blood management (PBM) is a patient-centered approach based on a 'three pillar' model that promotes optimum use of blood and blood products to improve outcomes. This study assessed the potential budget impact of implementing PBM in patients undergoing elective cardiovascular surgery in a private hospital in Turkey.

Background: Cultural and religious structures encompass a set pattern of values, beliefs, systems and practices that define a community's behaviour and identity. These structures influence women's health-seeking behaviour and access to maternal health services, predisposing women to preventable maternal health complications. However, most maternal health policies have focused on biomedical strategies, with limited attention to women's cultural challenges around childbirth.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can significantly disrupt autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulation, increasing the risk for secondary complications, hemodynamic instability, and adverse outcome. This retrospective study evaluated windowed time-lagged cross-correlation (WTLCC) matrices for describing cerebral hemodynamics-ANS interactions to predict outcome, enabling identifying high-risk patients who may benefit from enhanced monitoring to prevent complications.
Methods: The first experiment aimed to predict short-term outcome using WTLCC-based convolution neural network models on the Wroclaw University Hospital (WUH) database (P = 31 with 1,079 matrices, P = 16 with 573 matrices).

Objectives: In this work, which forms part of a larger study of a longitudinal intervention focused on empowering Community Mental Health Workers in a humanitarian context, we examine changes in and correlates of well-being of refugees as a result of discriminatory practices by the State, with comparisons motivated by a mechanistic model of well-being.
Design: This cohort study examines well-being at a single follow-up time as predicted by baseline characteristics in response to a changing social conditions including security raids on our participants; the parent interventional randomised trial focuses on a population of youth in a refugee context, but the present work precedes the main intervention period.
Setting: Refugee populations are among the most vulnerable globally, and the total refugee population is growing dramatically.
