Objective: to assess patient safety, from their own perspective, during hospitalization for COVID-19 in a university hospital.
Method: cross-sectional study conducted in a university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, involving patients hospitalized due to COVID-19. The sample included 129 participants hospitalized between March 2020 and June 2021 who responded to the Patient Measure of Safety instrument. Descriptive statistics and correlation tests were used to analyze sociodemographic factors, comorbidities, and symptomatology related to the total score and each domain of the instrument.
Results: the majority of participants were male (50.8%), aged 56 years or younger (51.9%), and white (43.8%). The overall mean score of Patient Measure of Safety was 3.8±0,4, with variations between 3.0±0,4, in the "equipment" domain, to 4.1±0,5, in the "communication and teamwork" domain. There were no statistically significant differences among sociodemographic variables and comorbidities regarding safety perception. Statistical significance results were observed among those with specific symptoms such as cough (p=0.018), nausea and vomiting (p=0.020) and diarrhea (p=0.013) reflecting less favorable perception of safety.
Conclusion: participants assessed the safety of care with the highest score in the "communication and teamwork" domain.

Background: Clostridium innocuum is a vancomycin-resistant pathobiome associated with poor clinical outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In ulcerative colitis (UC), it correlates with reduced remission rates, while in Crohn's disease (CD), it is linked to creeping fat formation and intestinal strictures. Notably, some patients experience refractory or recurrent C.

Background: In the UK, total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) is used in 25% of general anaesthetics and is gaining traction because of its lower environmental impact and effectiveness in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Although meta-analyses have compared TIVA and inhalational anaesthesia (IA), the optimal delivery method-manual infusion or target-controlled infusion (TCI)-remains underexplored. This review addresses this gap, leveraging the rapidly growing body of evidence to guide optimal anaesthetic practice.

This updated Heart Valve Collaboratory framework addresses the growing concern for transcatheter valve failure (TVF) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). With the increasing volume of redo-TAV and surgical TAV explantation, there is a critical need for standardized pathways and protocols for evaluating TVF using echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiography. This document clarifies prior definitions of bioprosthetic valve deterioration and bioprosthetic valve failure in a practical, imaging directed context for TAVR.

Undernutrition is a common risk after surgery or during periods when oral dietary intake is challenging. Enteral nutrients, frequently utilized in nutritional management, are drugs associated with multiple contraindications involving pathology and allergy, and they require careful attention in dispensing. However, the occurrence of nutrition-related incidents in community pharmacies remains unknown.
