AI Article Synopsis
- The study looked at whether a special skin treatment called ADM can help stop a condition called Frey's syndrome after surgery on the parotid gland.
- It involved 175 patients split into two groups: one group received the ADM treatment and the other did not.
- The results showed that fewer people in the ADM group had Frey's syndrome, and they felt their appearance was better than those in the other group.
Article Abstract
Objective: The present study was designed to investigate whether acellular dermal matrix (ADM) grafts could prevent Frey's syndrome (FS) and improve esthetic scores following parotidectomy.
Methods: From January 2015 to December 2019, 175 patients underwent parotidectomy. We divided the patients into two groups: the ADM group and the control group. We included in each group 30 patients according to a propensity score matched analysis.
Results: FS was subjective in 1 patient (3%) from the ADM group and 9 patients (30%) from the control group (=0.015). Patients in the ADM group had a subjective esthetic score of 6.1 1.7 compared with 5.2 1.7 in the control group. The subjective esthetic score for patients in the ADM group was higher than that for patients in the control group ( =0.040).
Conclusion: The present clinical study suggests that ADM grafts are effective in preventing FS and improving esthetic scores after parotidectomy.

Advancing nursing practice to improve care and system outcomes requires doctoral-prepared nurses to conduct programs of research and translate science to practice. The authors describe a Doctoral support group (DSG) at one hospital designed to support nurses considering and navigating doctoral education while continuing as hospital employees. Strategies from 18 years' experience are provided for others to develop and sustain a DSG as part of an environment to support and retain nurses with doctoral degrees.

Methods: A consortium of diverse ANEs was formed to research these questions using the nominal group technique.
Results: Two central themes emerged from the consortium: support and collaboration.
