Financial Barriers to Expanded Birth Center Access in New Jersey: A Qualitative Thematic Analysis.
J Midwifery Womens Health
January 2025
Rutgers University School of Nursing, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Introduction: Birth centers are an underused care setting with potential to improve birth experience and satisfaction. Both hospital-based and freestanding birth centers operate with the midwifery model of care that focuses on safe, low-intervention physiologic birth experiences for healthy, low-risk pregnant people. However, financial barriers limit freestanding birth center sustainability and accessibility in New Jersey, especially for traditionally marginalized populations.

Background: The introduction of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has significantly advanced medical imaging. In oncology, F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET/CT is particularly crucial for staging, evaluating treatment response, monitoring follow-up, and planning radiotherapy. However, in resource limiting hospitals, the availability of fluorine-labeled F-FDG limits optimal scan acquisition.

Medical Robotics and Automation (RoboMed) Laboratory, Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332 USA.
Single-port surgical robots have gained popularity due to less patient trauma and quicker post-surgery recovery. However, due to limited access provided by a single incision, the miniaturization and maneuverability of these robots still needs to be improved. In this paper, we propose the design of a single-port, dual-arm robotically steerable endoscope containing one steerable major cannula and two steerable minor cannulas.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2023
Division of Cardiac Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Purpose: This ex vivo study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel cylinder bioprosthetic valve for mitral and tricuspid valve replacements, addressing concerns related to valve size, anticoagulation, and postoperative morbidity.
Description: Existing bioprosthetic valves lack annulus-papillary muscle continuity. In contrast, our valve, which is crafted from autologous pericardium, maintains annulus-papillary muscle continuity, maximizes the orifice area when open, and closes in response to rising ventricular pressure, thus preserving mitral valve complexity.
To Cross or Not to Cross: The Cross-Bar Technique to Correct Pectus Excavatum With "Costal Flaring".
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
March 2023
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Children's Hospital of Eastern Switzerland, St Gallen, Switzerland.
Background: The minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (PE), introduced by Nuss in 1998, represents the worldwide "gold standard" procedure for surgical repair. Modifications over years included routine use of unilateral or bilateral thoracoscopy as well as sternal elevation before starting the substernal dissection. In patients with a severe PE deformity, such as Grand Canyon type, use of a second bar or, in selected patients, even a third or fourth bar has to be considered.
