Day care is a potential alternative to inpatient care of cancer patients. Using day care reduces medical costs substantially compared to inpatient care, which is driving the transfer of many inpatient chemotherapy protocols to day care hospitals (DCHs). However, in contrast to inpatient management, day care provides limited observation time, which could increase the risk of renal toxicity when using these protocols. We present a case report of acute kidney injury following high-dose methotrexate administration in a DCH. Based on a review of the current literature on acid-base balance, we also discuss appropriate patient selection and judicious hydration and urine alkalinization so as to prevent toxicity in the day care setting.

Esophagectomy Trends and Postoperative Outcomes at Private Equity-Acquired Health Centers.
JAMA Surg
January 2025
Department of Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Importance: Growing trends in private equity acquisition of acute care hospitals in the US have motivated investigations into quality of care delivered at these health centers. While some studies have explored comparative outcomes for high-acuity medical conditions, care trends and outcomes of complex surgical procedures, such as esophagectomy, at private equity-acquired hospitals is unknown.
Objective: To compare structural characteristics and postoperative outcomes following esophagectomy between private equity-acquired and nonacquired health centers.
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta for trauma patients with uncontrolled hemorrhage: a retrospective target trial emulation (the AT-REBOA target trial).

Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine.
Background: Noncompressible truncal hemorrhage is a major contributor to preventable deaths in trauma patients and, despite advances in emergency care, still poses a big challenge.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of trauma resuscitation care incorporating Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) compared to standard care for managing uncontrolled torso or lower body hemorrhage.
Methods: This study utilized a target trial design with a matched case-control methodology, emulating randomized 1 : 1 allocation for patients receiving trauma resuscitation care with or without the use of REBOA.
Trends and epidemiology of children treated in specialized burn centers in the Netherlands between 2009 and 2022.
Eur J Pediatr
January 2025
Alliance of Dutch Burn Care, Burn Center, Red Cross Hospital, PO Box 1074, 1940 EB, Beverwijk, the Netherlands.
Unlabelled: Knowledge about trends and epidemiology of pediatric burns is useful to identify patterns, to advance medical research, and to design prevention programs and resource allocation. The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiology and trends of pediatric burns between 2009 and 2022 in the three Dutch burn centers. A secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the pattern of pediatric burns.

However, modern nonsurgical treatments have been used as a first-line option to delay or avoid arthroplasty, especially if treatments are started when osteoarthritis is moderate. Among many nonsurgical options, there has been an increased interest recently in the use of orthobiologics.

In response to the paucity of training in therapeutic relationships and relational care for mental health clinicians, a new three-day training programme has been developed called Compassionate and Relational Enquiry (CARE). A condensed version of this training was recently delivered to mental health service users, carers and the public during a one-day online taster session- named Dialogical And Relational Taster Training (DARTT) - to understand their perception of this training programme. 21 people took part in this taster training day and subsequently completed a survey about their impression of different elements of the training.
