Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs for spine surgery have been developed throughout Europe and the United States leading to reduced hospital stay lengths, reduced opioid consumption, and faster return to activities of daily living and exercise. Development and execution of an ERAS spine program require commitment from the physician practice and collaborative hospital along with commitments from the entire health care team. Navigating this process can be a daunting task for a surgeon, whose traditional training involves no project management. Here we review our experience in the development of an ERAS program at a major academic medical institution and tertiary-care hospital in the USA from a program management perspective. In this manuscript, we provide the language and an outline to educate a surgeon on the project management processes needed to develop and initiate a pilot spine ERAS program.

Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterised by persistent unexplained pain and fatigue. People with fibromyalgia report receiving little support to manage symptoms, difficult interactions with healthcare practitioners and stigma associated with this contested condition. In this article, we employ Dorothy E Smith's Sociology for People to undertake a systems-focused literature review from the standpoint of people with fibromyalgia, moving beyond individual subjectivities to map how problems are socially organised.

Background: Endurance athletes tend to accumulate large training volumes, the majority of which are performed at a low intensity and a smaller portion at moderate and high intensity. However, different training intensity distributions (TID) are employed to maximize physiological and performance adaptations.
Objective: The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis of individual participant data to compare the effect of different TID models on maximal oxygen uptake (VO) and time-trial (TT) performance in endurance-trained athletes.

Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness that imposes a significant global burden. Antiviral neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) such as oseltamivir (OC) have been proven essential, but the emergence of resistant viral strains necessitates the development of novel therapies. This study explored the potential of natural products as alternative NAIs.

Introduction: A multi-stakeholder conference was held in 2023, celebrating the achievements of the Burdett National Transition Nursing Network (BNTNN). The BNTNN had been implemented across England in 2020 to map the current state of young people's healthcare transition into adult services across England, and work with key stakeholders to coach them through making sustainable quality improvements to young people's transition services. This work was funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing, following the success of an exemplar Model for Quality Improvement (QI) for Transition, which had been developed at a Teaching Hospital in England.
