Incident reporting and learning systems provide an opportunity to identify systemic vulnerabilities that contribute to incidents and potentially degrade quality. The narrative of an incident is intended to provide a clear, easy to understand description of an incident. Unclear, incomplete or poorly organized narratives compromise the ability to learn from them.

Background Acute subdural hematomas commonly require emergent surgical decompression by craniotomy. There is currently limited research on alternative surgical strategies in the elderly population. This study investigates delayed surgical intervention for stable patients with low-energy trauma presenting with acute subdural hematomas.

Introduction The 2020 American Heart Association's (AHA) Basic Life Support (BLS) curriculum focuses on cardiac arrest resuscitation with one or two rescuers, providing only limited opportunities to develop higher-level skills such as leadership, communication, and debriefing. This mixed-methods pilot study evaluated whether supplementing the traditional Heartcode BLS course with a high-fidelity teamwork simulation session improved mastery of these higher-level skills. Methods Twenty-four first-year medical students completed the pilot training during sessions offered in February and May of 2023.

Background: Burnout is common among residents and negatively impacts patient care and professional development. Residents vary in terms of their experience of burnout. Our objective was to employ cluster analysis, a statistical method of separating participants into discrete groups based on response patterns, to uncover resident burnout profiles using the exhaustion and engagement sub-scales of the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) in a cross-sectional, multispecialty survey of United States medical residents.

Enfortumab vedotin (EV), a nectin-4-binding agent that affects microtubules, has become standard therapy for advanced urothelial carcinoma. The agent, now given in combination with pembrolizumab, frequently induces cutaneous reactions. Here, we report a severe EV-induced cutaneous eruption.

Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare, aggressive hematological malignancy primarily originating in lymph nodes, with only 10 reported cases presenting in the skin (primary cutaneous interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma). Past presentations showed erythematous nodules on the proximal extremities, back, or face. Morphologically, these neoplasms are similar to melanomas and other dendritic cell (DC) tumors, making their diagnosis difficult.

Purpose: To compare 30-day postoperative rates of adverse events, particularly infection rates, between open biceps tenodesis and biceps tenotomy.
Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was filtered using codes to identify patients undergoing open biceps tenodesis and tenotomy from 2010 to 2021. Patients were divided into cohorts based on procedure type.

Processed nerve allograft is a widely accepted tool for reconstructing peripheral nerve defects. Repair parameters that need to be considered include gap length, nerve diameter, nerve type (motor, sensory, or mixed), and the soft tissue envelope. Although the use of processed nerve allograft must be considered based on each unique clinical scenario, a rough algorithm can be formed based on the available animal and clinical literature.

Purpose: For lung stereotactic body radiation therapy, 4-dimensional computed tomography is often used to delineate target volumes, whereas organs at risk (OARs) are typically outlined on either average intensity projection (AIP) or midventilation (MidV = 30% phase) images. AIP has been widely adopted as it represents a true average, but image blurring often precludes accurate contouring of critical structures such as central airways. Here, we compare AIP versus MidV planning for centrally located tumors via respiratory motion-inclusive (RMI) plans to better evaluate dose delivered throughout the breathing cycle.

Despite the first-line recommendation of fosfomycin for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), there are pressing barriers for optimizing its use for the treatment of non- Enterobacterales UTI. There are no approved breakpoints for oral use against other Enterobacterales, and the recommended agar dilution (AD) reference method for minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination is largely impractical. Using 160 clinical isolates, we sought to understand rates of skipped wells and MIC imprecision in broth microdilution (BMD) and how that compares to rates of error using AD.

Objective: Despite regulatory challenges, device availability, and rapidly expanding techniques, off-label endovascular repair of complex aortic aneurysms (cAAs) has expanded in the past decade. Given the lack of United States Food and Drug Administration-approved endovascular technology to treat cAAs, we performed a national census to better understand volume and current practice patterns in the United States.
Methods: Targeted sampling identified vascular surgeons with experience in off-label endovascular repair of cAAs.

Introduction: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children and adolescents has a high prevalence of accompanying sleep disturbances. Currently, pediatric treatment of PTSD-related nightmares is extrapolated from adult studies. This study aims to determine the effectiveness and safety of clonidine and guanfacine compared with prazosin for the treatment of PTSD-related nightmares.

Objective: To evaluate tumor control and facial nerve outcomes after gross-total (GTR), near-total (NTR), and subtotal resection (STR) of sporadic vestibular schwannomas (VS).
Data Sources: PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched in August 2021 through inception following PRISMA guidelines.
Review Methods: English language articles reporting tumor control and facial nerve outcomes of adults (≥18 years) with NTR and STR of VS were evaluated.

Background: In 2019, Bard Peripheral Vascular Inc (BV; now Becton, Dickinson and Company; Sparks, Maryland) received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to begin marketing the WavelinQ EndoAVF System through a process known as 510(k) authorization. Such authorization relies on BV proving that the new WavelinQ EndoAVF System was of "substantial equivalence" to the WavelinQ 4F EndoAVF System. We set forth to analyze patient problems and device issues reported for the new device and determine if they were significantly different from the predicate device its 510(k) approval was based on.

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death. The mainstay treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly in the early stages, is surgical resection. Traditionally, lobectomy has been considered the gold-standard technique.

Since the establishment of 4 molecular subgroups of endometrial carcinoma (EC), there has been significant interest in understanding molecular classification in the context of histologic features and diagnoses. ECs with undifferentiated, spindle, and/or sarcomatous components represent a diagnostically challenging subset of tumors with overlapping clinical and histologic features. We examined the clinicopathologic, morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of these tumors identified in our institutions' pathology databases using immunohistochemistry and targeted sequencing.

The Sustained Alcohol use post-Liver Transplant (SALT) and the High-Risk Alcohol Relapse (HRAR) scores were developed to predict a return to alcohol use after a liver transplant (LT) for alcohol-associated liver disease. A retrospective analysis of deceased donor LT from October 2018 to April 2022 was performed. All patients underwent careful pre-LT psychosocial evaluation.
