Background: Complex patients require multidisciplinary input for optimal care, but this can lead to fragmented care. This project aimed to improve multidisciplinary communication, care coordination, and patient satisfaction in primary care clinics.
Methods: Multidisciplinary team meetings focused on discussing complex patients over six months. Pre- and post-intervention surveys assessed changes in communication and satisfaction among healthcare providers and staff. Patient surveys evaluated their satisfaction with care. The generated action items at multidisciplinary meetings, such as new referrals, were categorized to evaluate the impact on care coordination.
Results: Post-intervention surveys showed positive responses regarding improved teamwork, communication, and patient care, but ongoing challenges in the selection of patients and team meeting participants. On average, there were 2.3 new referrals per patient, indicating enhanced care coordination.
Conclusions: Multidisciplinary team meetings showed promise in enhancing communication, care coordination, and staff satisfaction. Ongoing refinement and assessment are necessary to optimize their feasibility and effectiveness over a longer time period.

In Vivo Behavior of Transitional Foods as Compared to Purees: A Videofluoroscopic Analysis.
Am J Speech Lang Pathol
March 2025
Communication Disorders and Sciences, University of Oregon, Eugene.
Purpose: Medically tailored transitional foods (TFs) may be a clinically viable alternative to pureed consistency for individuals requiring texture-modified foods. However, little remains known about the performance of TFs during the swallow. The purpose of this investigation was to describe oropharyngeal swallowing physiology in patients with dysphagia during consumption of TFs as compared to pureed solids.

In vitro maturation of oocytes (IVM): historical landmarks, current status and future perspectives.

One of the major advancements in fertilization (IVF) has been the development of culture media that enhance gamete maturation and sustain embryo development up to the blastocyst stage. The deep understanding of the mechanisms involved in gametogenesis and the complex sequence of events surrounding nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation has also enabled the development of efficient maturation (IVM) protocols. This review outlines the major landmarks in the history of maturation of oocytes, the advantages and importance of its clinical application in human, especially in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Resistant Ovary Syndrome, high antral follicle count or oncology patients, as well as the safety and efficacy of the technique.

Objectives: Although there has been rapid development in the field of three-dimensional morphological analyses of congenital heart disease, with the three-dimensional volume-rendered images providing visualization of the external vascular anatomy, the precise reproduction of "Swiss-cheese" ventricular septum is not well established. We created three-dimensional printed models and computer graphics based on multi-slice computed tomography of patients with complex multiple ventricular septal defects for surgical decision planning of this difficult cardiac defect.
Methods: Seven patients with complex multiple ventricular septal defects were evaluated preoperatively using three-dimensional printed models and computer graphics to plan therapeutic interventions.
Staged hybrid approach for acute type A aortic dissection: zone 2 arch replacement and completion thoracic endovascular aortic repair upon indication.
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg
March 2025
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Objectives: This study evaluates a staged selective hybrid approach for acute type A aortic dissection. The approach involves a zone 2 aortic arch replacement with debranching of the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery to create a landing zone for thoracic endovascular aortic repair. This repair is performed either preemptively in the subacute phase to promote remodelling or electively in the chronic phase to manage aneurysm formation.
