Radiographic identification of a positive clipped axillary lymph node in a mastectomy specimen following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Sentinel lymph node biopsies are recommended for staging in node-positive breast cancer patients who become clinically node-negative after neoadjuvant therapy. Current guidelines support the omission of an axillary lymph node dissection if 3 negative sentinel nodes are retrieved during surgery. Consequently, the utility of routine clip placement in biopsied nodes prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the necessity of targeted removal of these clipped nodes is in question.

Effectiveness of telehealth physical therapy for patients with pelvic floor disorders in a community hospital setting.

Purpose: To examine whether there are differences in meeting treatment goals between pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) patients who participated in a majority of telehealth visits versus those who participated in mostly traditional office visits at a community hospital.

Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed among patients who received PFPT from April 2019 to February 2021. Cohorts were defined as "Mostly Office Visits" (> 50% office visits) and "Mostly Telehealth" (> / = 50% telehealth visits).

Aneuploidy screening after preimplantation genetic testing: a national survey of physician knowledge and practice.

Purpose: To assess the knowledge of generalist OB/GYN providers on aneuploidy screening recommendations for patients who utilized preimplantation genetic testing, and to survey providers' current practice habits.

Methods: A 12-question survey was distributed by email to OB/GYN physicians in the USA. Demographic information was also collected.

Assessing the accuracy and quality of YouTube videos on early pregnancy loss.

Objective: To assess the accuracy and quality of YouTube videos pertaining to early pregnancy loss for use as a patient education tool.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted via YouTube search using the keywords "miscarriage," "spontaneous abortion," "pregnancy loss," and "pregnancy failure." The first 20 results for each keyword search, sorted by both relevance and view count, were compiled into a list.

Quantification of stress-induced hyperglycaemia associated with key diagnostic categories using the stress hyperglycaemia ratio.

Aim: Stress-induced hyperglycaemia (SIH) is the acute increase from preadmission glycaemia and is associated with poor outcomes. Early recognition of SIH and subsequent blood glucose (BG) management improves outcomes, but the degree of SIH provoked by distinct diagnostic categories remains unknown. Quantification of SIH is now possible using the stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR), which measures the proportional change from preadmission glycaemia, based on haemoglobin A (HbA ).

Pre-admission functional status impacts the performance of the APACHE IV model of mortality prediction in critically ill patients.

Background: Functional status (FS) before intensive care unit (ICU) admission is associated with short-term and long-term outcomes among critically ill patients. However, measures of FS are generally not integrated into ICU-specific mortality prediction models.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study used prospectively collected data from 9638 consecutive patients admitted to a single ICU between 1 October 2005 and 30 September 2015.
