Continuous-time random walks (CTRWs) are an elementary model for particle motion subject to randomized waiting times. In this paper, we consider the case where the distribution of waiting times depends on the location of the particle. In particular, we analyze the case where the medium exhibits a bounded trapping region in which the particle is subject to CTRW with power-law waiting times and regular diffusion elsewhere. We derive a diffusion limit for this inhomogeneous CTRW. We show that depending on the index of the power-law distribution, we can observe either nonlinear subdiffusive or standard diffusive motion.

Interventions to improve bowel cleansing in colonoscopy.
Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol
January 2025
Gastroenterology Department, Hospital Universitario de Canarias, Spain.
Introduction: Suboptimal bowel preparation adversely affects colonoscopy quality, increases healthcare costs, andprolongs waiting time. The primary contributing factors include poor tolerance to the preparation solutions, noncompliance with prescribed instructions, and suboptimal efficacy of the bowel cleansing solution itself.
Areas Covered: This review examined the predictive factors associated with suboptimal bowel preparation and discussed interventions aimed at improving bowel cleansing.
Renal colic: Streamlining investigations to improve patient outcomes in emergency medicine.
Emerg Med Australas
February 2025
The Canberra Hospital Emergency Department, ACT Health, Canberra, Australia.
Objective: In Australian EDs, patients experience long waits for imaging, particularly for presentations such as renal colic. Computed tomography (CT) imaging is the gold-standard for renal stones, although ultrasonography is recommended for young patients and those susceptible to radiation, an approach supported by The Canberra Hospital (TCH) ED guidelines for renal colic. This audit aims to not only assess how well these guidelines are adhered to, but also to discuss possible methods of improving flow through ED and thus patient outcomes.

Eur J Pain
February 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Pain and Palliative Medicine, Radboudumc, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Background: In recent years, delayed elective care and growing waiting lists increasingly resulted in postponed surgeries for patients with chronic back and leg pain.
Objective: To develop, implement, and evaluate the feasibility of a triage tool for patients with chronic back and/or leg pain to identify those eligible for referral to spinal cord stimulation (SCS) consultation.
Methods: A triage tool was developed, based on Dutch SCS guidelines, literature review and expert panel consultation.
Preventing disease progression in schizophrenia: What are we waiting for.
J Psychiatr Res
December 2024
Department of Psychiatry, Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, South Africa.
Despite research advances and progress in health care, schizophrenia remains a debilitating and costly disease. Onset occurs typically during youth and can lead to a relapsing and ultimately chronic course with persistent symptoms and functional impairment if not promptly and properly treated. Consequently, over time, schizophrenia causes substantial distress and disability for patients, their families and accrues to a collective burden to society.

Transplant Proc
January 2025
Servicio de Nefrología, Hospital Universitario La Paz, Madrid, Spain.
Background: Patients on a kidney transplant waiting list with antibodies against more than 80% of a panel reactive antibody (PRA) are difficult to transplant, even with national or regional programs. Desensitization treatment with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin and rituximab could be offered to patients with a long waiting time for a cadaveric donor to improve their odds of finding a kidney.
Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study including all hyperimmunized patients on the waiting list for a cadaveric kidney donor who received a desensitization treatment between 2010 and 2020.
