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.
Objective: This quality improvement initiative aimed to increase the rate of provider screening and documentation of contraception use for reproductive-aged women seen in an academic rheumatology fellows' clinic to >50% by 24 weeks, with sustained improvement at one year.
Methods: With a multidisciplinary team, we devised and implemented six interventional cycles over 24 weeks informed by key stakeholder survey responses. The primary outcome measure was the percentage of eligible visits with contraception information documented in the structured electronic health record field.

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) during undergraduate training (UGT) is considered important for new graduates to collaborate inter-professionally. There are, however, well-documented workplace challenges that hinder their involvement in interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) such as professional hierarchy, poor role clarification and communication challenges.
Aim: This article explores graduates' perceptions of the value rural undergraduate IPE had on their IPCP during their first year of work.

Aim: Vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) accelerates growth factor secretion, lymphatic endothelial cell migration toward the interstitial flow and lymphagiogenesis in a multidirectional pattern. Our observational study aimed to examine the hypothesis that nanofibrillar collagen scaffolds (NCS) combined with VLNT can provide guided lymphagiogenesis creating long-lasting lymphatic pathways.
Methods: Twenty-four patients (21 female, 3 male) underwent a lymphatic microsurgery for upper ( = 11) or lower ( = 13) limb secondary lymphedema and completed at least 18 months follow-up were selected and equally divided in 2 groups; Group-A underwent VLNT, Group-B underwent combined VLNT and NCS procedure.
