Infertility care is often directed by a biomedical approach rather than a holistic approach, especially in African countries. This article explores the opinions of health care providers regarding holistic health care interventions in managing women with infertility in Ghana. Data were retrieved using a qualitative design and nominal group technique with a purposive sample of 12 health care providers in Ghana. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Health care providers explored various psychological, educational, spiritual, social, and medical interventions to ensure women diagnosed with infertility receive holistic treatment and attain optimal health.

Newborn Screening Ontario, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Ottawa, ON, Canada; Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute, University of Ottawa, Ottawa. Electronic address:
Purpose: Universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) programs using audiometric techniques alone are limited in ability to detect non-congenital childhood permanent hearing loss (PHL). In 2019, Ontario launched universal newborn screening (NBS) for PHL risk factors: congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) and 22 common variants in GJB2 and SLC26A4. Here we describe our experience with genetic risk factor screening.

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are associated with a high failure rate. Our uncontrolled feasibility study aimed determining the effect of a transcutaneous electrical stimulation system (TESS) on GERD symptoms and acid exposure time (AET).
Methods: Recruited patients with heartburn and regurgitation.
Adaptive functioning in children and young adults with monogenic neurodevelopmental disorders.

Aim: To examine the adaptive behaviour profiles of children with monogenic neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) to determine whether syndrome-specific or transdiagnostic approaches provide a better understanding of the adaptive behavioural phenotypes of these NDDs.
Method: This cross-sectional study included parents and caregivers of 243 (48% female) individuals (age range = 1-25 years; mean = 8 years 10 months, SD = 5 years 8 months) with genetically confirmed monogenic NDDs (CDK13, DYRK1A, FOXP2, KAT6A, KANSL1, SETBP1, BRPF1, and DDX3X). Parents and caregivers completed the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition to assess communication, daily living, socialization, and motor skills.
Innovative telehospitalist model optimizes medical triage in collaboration with community emergency departments: A cross-sectional study.

Division of Hospital Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Introduction: Optimal hospital bed utilization requires innovative patient care models. We studied a novel hospitalist model utilizing telemedicine to facilitate collaboration with affiliated emergency departments (EDs) and support medical triage and care of ED patients with high likelihood of hospital admission.
Methods: Telehospitalists based at a tertiary care facility collaborated with four community EDs in the same healthcare network between January 1, 2022, and April 30, 2023.

Although the association between dementia such as Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is well established, there are significant knowledge gaps with respect to the perspective of dementia and epilepsy without TBI. We aimed to investigate the relationship between dementia and epilepsy in a population-based study of patients without history of TBI. This study included a random sample of 30,715 patients with no history of TBI, including 6143 with epilepsy as the study cohort and 24,572 without epilepsy as the comparison cohort.
