Objective: Very limited data are available exploring the potential influence of gender on Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery outcomes. This study investigates the gender-specific influence of ShuoTongureteroscopy (ST-urs) and Flexible Ureteroscopy (F-urs) surgeries on operation efficacy and patient recovery in a sample of the Somali population.
Materials And Methods: We enrolled 390 participants. Participants were stratified into four gender-specific subgroups based on ureteroscopy operation type: 27.7% males in S-urs (group1), 44.4% females in S-urs (group2), 18.7% males in F-urs (group3), and 9.2% females in F-urs (group4). Primary outcomes included operation time, postoperative hospital stay duration, and VAS Pain Score. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess associations.
Results: The mean age was 29.53 ± 7.61 years, 72.1% male and 27.9% female, with 46.4% of the patients undergoing ST-urs and 53.6% undergoing F-urs. Women had higher odds of prolonged hospital stays (OR = 2.62, 95% CI: 1.43-4.82, p < 0.001) and post-operation pain (OR = 5.06, 95% CI: 2.95-8.68, p = 0.002). Among men who underwent F-urs procedure, there was a significantly higher odds ratio (OR) of 6.14 (95% CI: 2.86-13.19, p < 0.001) for experiencing a long operation time. Conversely, for females, those who underwent S-urs surgery had a notably lower OR of 0.32 (95% CI: 0.13-0.79, p = 0.013) for long operation time, whereas those who underwent F-urs surgery exhibited a substantially elevated OR of 5.36 (95% CI: 1.85-15.53, p < 0.001). Both females undergoing F-urs surgery (OR: 5.16, 95% CI: 2.61-10.21, p < 0.001) and those undergoing F-urs surgery (OR: 5.25, 95% CI: 2.17-12.73, p < 0.001) experienced significantly higher post-operative pain.
Conclusion: Our research reveals gender disparities in retrograde intrarenal surgery outcomes. Women experience longer hospital stays and higher postoperative pain levels compared to men. F-urs procedures are associated with longer operation times and hospital stays, particularly affecting women. Contrarily, ST-urs offers shorter operation times for women but leads to prolonged hospital stays and heightened postoperative pain.

Background: Apathy, or reduction in goal directed behaviors, is common in assisted living (AL) residents with dementia. Meaningful activity, defined as participation in activities that are enjoyable, tailored to the individual's interests and abilities, related to a personally relevant goal, engaging, and related to an aspect of an individual's identity, may be a promising strategy for reducing apathy in AL residents with dementia. However, there is a dearth of evidence examining the relationship between engagement in meaningful activity and apathy among AL residents with dementia.

Background: The use of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) in older adults with dementia and/or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) has been associated with increased adverse events, drug-related problems (DRPs), prolonged hospitalization, risk of falls, and increased length of stay. This study aimed to identify which explicit tool, Beers criteria 2023 or Screening Tool of Older Persons Potentially Inappropriate Prescriptions (STOPP) 2023, identifies more PIM use among older adults with MCI or dementia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a Multispecialty Interprofessional Team-based (MINT) memory clinic.

Background: Knowledge of nursing home (NH) residents' everyday care preferences is foundational in that it allows for the delivery of person-centered care and individualized care planning. However, little is known about how integrating preferences into care delivery impact outcomes of care. The Preference Match Tracker is an objective metric that tracks the number of recreation activities NH residents attend that match or is "congruent" with resident important preferences.

Objective: To explore the association of socioeconomic status (SES) and race/ethnicity with perioperative metrics within the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) framework to identify gaps for equity-informed improvements.
Summary Background Data: Although ERAS pathways improve perioperative outcomes through standardized care, disparities in protocol adherence and postoperative outcomes persist, particularly for vulnerable populations.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using a single-institution database of elective colorectal surgeries (2018-2021).
