[Time to stop sliding scale insulin regimen].
Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd
December 2024
Isala, afd. Interne Geneeskunde, Meppel/Zwolle.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperglycemia at admission is linked to complications and increased mortality, but strict glycemic control during hospitalization lacks strong evidence for benefits.
- While strict control can reduce postoperative infections, it also raises the risk of hypoglycemia, which is a separate risk factor for mortality.
- Switching from the ineffective sliding scale insulin regimen to a basal-bolus insulin approach may lead to better patient outcomes and lower workloads for healthcare providers.
Use of the Delphi Method in the Construction of the Temperature Chain Management Scheme for Da Vinci Robot-Assisted Urological Surgical Patients.
Ther Hypothermia Temp Manag
November 2024
Operating Room, The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China.
The study aimed to construct a temperature chain management scheme in patients undergoing Da Vinci Robot-assisted surgery in urological surgical patients by the Delphi method, providing a reference for the prevention and treatment of the inadvertent perioperative hypothermia. First, instructing by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Healthcare model and systematically reviewing literature related to the prevention and treatment of perioperative hypothermia in Da Vinci robot-assisted surgery patients in the urological surgical patients from guideline-related websites and professional association websites.

Nutr Diet
November 2024
Nutrition Research Collaborative, Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital, Herston, Queensland, Australia.
Aims: Delegation of nutrition care activities to Dietetic Assistants in hospitals has been identified as one innovative malnutrition model of care, but there has been limited evaluation of their roles. This study aimed to develop, implement and evaluate a new Malnutrition Model of Care embracing automated delegation and digital systems.
Methods: The Malnutrition Model of Care was created to detect patients at risk of malnutrition (using the Malnutrition Screening Tool) and nutritional decline (via routine intake tracking at all meals and snacks).
Background: The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is the gold standard and universal format to assess medical students' clinical competence in a comprehensive, reliable, and valid manner. OSCE is gaining global popularity for assessing medical students in various specialties. Our country uses it in multiple disciplines, but its application in psychiatry remains limited.

BMC Neurol
July 2024
Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, School of Health Sciences, University of Iceland, Reykjavik, 101, Iceland.
Background: Transitioning to end-of-life care and thereby changing the focus of treatment directives from life-sustaining treatment to comfort care is important for neurological patients in advanced stages. Late transition to end-of-life care for neurological patients has been described previously.
Objective: To investigate whether previous treatment directives, primary medical diagnoses, and demographic factors predict the transition to end-of-life care and time to eventual death in patients with neurological diseases in an acute hospital setting.
