AI Article Synopsis

  • Many hospitals face challenges in implementing evidence-based clinical practices despite having access to guidelines that outline effective strategies.
  • The paper will provide suggestions tailored for obstetrics and gynecology units to enhance the implementation of these strategies for better quality and safety.
  • It will utilize various implementation science theories and tools, such as the Health Beliefs Model and Driver Diagrams, to structure its recommendations.

Article Abstract

Although there is no shortage of guidelines and toolkits outlining clinical practices that are evidence-based and have been shown to improve outcomes, many hospitals, and L&D units struggle to figure out exactly how to implement strategies that have been shown to work. This paper will describe suggestions to help obstetrics and gynecology units successfully implement evidence-based strategies to improve quality and safety based on the theoretical framing structures of implementation science, including theories such as the Health Beliefs Model, the Theory of Planned Behavior, Ecological Perspectives, COM-B, CFIR, and tools such as Driver Diagrams.

Importance: Whether state implementation of medical and recreational cannabis laws is associated with increased cannabis use disorder (CUD) and/or cannabis poisoning among adults is not evident.

Objective: To examine state-level medical and recreational cannabis laws' associations with CUD and cannabis poisoning, overall and by sex and age subgroups.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this longitudinal cohort study, state-level CUD and cannabis poisoning diagnoses from January 2011 to December 2021 were examined across all 50 US states and the District of Columbia before and after the implementation of medical and recreational cannabis laws (MCLs and RCLs, respectively) using a staggered adoption difference-in-differences approach.

Background: The implementation of cancer precision medicine in Japan is deeply intertwined with insurance reimbursement policies and requires case-by-case reviews by Molecular Tumor Boards (MTBs), which impose considerable operational burdens on healthcare facilities. The extensive preparation and review times required by MTBs hinder their ability to efficiently assess comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) test results. Despite attempts to optimize MTB operations, significant challenges remain.

Rare Types of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasias Other Than 21-hydroxylase Deficiency.

J Clin Res Pediatr Endocrinol

University of Health Science, Dr Sami Ulus Child Health and Diseases Health Implementation and Research Center, Clinics of Pediatric Endocrinology, Ankara, Türkiye.

Although the most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) worldwide is 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD), which accounts for more than 95% of cases, other rare causes of CAH such as 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency (11βOHD), 3 beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) deficiency, 17 hydroxylase deficiency and lipoid CAH may also be encountered in clinical practice. 11βOHD is the most common type of CAH after 21OHD, and CYP11B1 deficiency in adrenal steroidogenesis causes the inability to produce cortisol and aldosterone and the excessive production of adrenal androgens. Although the clinical and laboratory features are similar to 21OHD, findings of mineralocorticoid deficiency are not observed.

Aquaculture stands as the fastest-growing food fish sector, expected to satisfy global demand for aquatic products. However, its expansion has led to disease emergence, adversely affecting both production and biodiversity. In response, since the mid-1990s the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) has developed initiatives, notably the Aquatic Animal Health Code and the Manual of Diagnostic Tests for Aquatic Animals, aimed at harmonising health standards for international trade in aquatic animals.
