Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study is to determine the incidence/progression of hiatal hernia (HH) after robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (RA-CABG) surgery. METHODS: We reviewed the pre- and post-operative computed tomography (CT) of 491 patients who underwent RA-CABG between 2000 and 2017. Post-operative CT was acquired prospectively in a research protocol. CT was reviewed to assess the presence and the size of HH. RESULTS: We found 444/491 (90.4%) had pre-operative CT, while 201/491 (40.9%) had post-operative CT. In total, 155/491 (31.6%) had both pre- and long-term post-operative CT with a mean follow-up of 6.2 (±3.5) years. HH was more prevalent on post-operative CT, 64/155 (41.3%) compared to pre-operative CT, 44/155 (28.4%), P

Abstract

Polyethylene (PE) pipes are widely used for natural gas distribution due to their good durability and low costs. To ensure the integrity of PE pipelines, it is crucial to develop a comprehensive understanding of pipe failure mechanisms and to recognize the benefits and limitations of different pipeline monitoring strategies. This review provides an overview of different types of pipe failures in the context of their response to operational loads and material degradation. It also covers the details of mechanical tests for predicting the long-term performance of pipes, theoretical models for studying defect growth, examines different defect detection methods, and concludes with an assessment of pipe repair techniques. The findings highlight the importance of investigating the effects of existing defects on the operational performance of the pipeline. This indirectly emphasizes the need to develop time- and cost-efficient strategies to detect defects in the early stages. There is a clear gap in the inclusion of PE aging effects in the lifetime performance models. In addition, given the large number of inspection techniques, a regulated selection of pipeline inspection methods is highly desired, specific to the defect type. Further research in advancing adhesive-based repair of incipient defects is crucial to prevent catastrophic defect growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

26. Towards a Regulatory Framework for Electronic Medical Record Interoperability in Canada.

Author

Abstract

All complex systems are potentially predisposed to failure. Healthcare systems are complex systems that are prone to many errors that can result in dire consequences for patients and healthcare providers. The healthcare system in Canada is under unprecedented strain due to shortages of healthcare providers, provider burnout, inefficient workflows, and a lack of appropriate digital infrastructure. We used failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to identify the failure modes for care provided in primary care settings. We identified failure modes in appointment scheduling, patient-provider communications, referrals, laboratory and diagnostic procedures, and medication prescriptions as the main failure modes. To mitigate the detected risks, we recommend solutions to ‘close the loop’ on failure modes to prevent patients from falling through the cracks, as vulnerable patients who cannot advocate for themselves are most likely to do so. We provide preliminary requirements for a regulatory regime for electronic health records that can reduce provider burnout, improve regulatory compliance, and improve system efficiency, all while improving patient safety, experience, and outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has been recently approved for advanced, metastatic, or progressive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Objectives: This study reports the adverse events (AEs) observed with patient-tailored administered activity. Methods: Fifty-two PRRT naive patients were treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE. The administered activity ranges between 2.78 and 5.55 GBq/cycle using the patient's unique characteristics (age, symptoms, blood work, and biomarkers). Results: The protocol was well tolerated with the overwhelming majority of participants being forty- six (88%), completing all 4 induction therapy cycles. The median cumulative administered activity was 19.6 GBq (ranged 3.8-22.3 GBq). A total of 42/52 (81%) reported at least one symptom, and 43/52 (83%) had evidence of biochemical abnormality at enrollment that would meet grade 1 or 2 criteria for AEs. These symptoms only slightly increase with treatment to 50/52 (96%) and 51/52 (98%), respectively. The most common symptoms were mild fatigue (62%), shortness of breath (50%), nausea (44%), abdominal pain (38%), and musculoskeletal pain (37%). The most common biomarker abnormalities were mild anemia (81%), reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (58%), increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (50%), and leukopenia (37%). Of critical importance, no 177Lu-DOTATATE related grade 3 or 4 AEs were observed. Conclusion: Tailoring the administered activity of 177Lu-DOTATATE to the individual patient with a variety of NETs is both safe and well-tolerated. No patient developed severe grade 3 or 4 AEs. Most patients exhibit symptoms or biochemical abnormality before treatment and this only slightly worsens following induction therapy.

Abstract

Prescribing skills are a crucial competency in medical practice considering the increasing numbers of medications available and the increasingly complex patients with multiple diseases faced in clinical practice. Medical students need to become proficient in these skills during training, as required by medical licensing colleges. Not only is teaching the fundamentals of safe and cost-effective prescribing to medical students challenging but evaluating their prescribing skills by faculty members is difficult and time consuming. Covid-19 has accelerated the interest in clinically relevant online exams, including automated assessment of short answer style questions. The goal of this project was to design a software to automate the assessment of learners’ prescriptions written during low stakes formative assessments. After establishing the components of a legal prescription with multiple medications, and identifying the sources of errors in prescribing and prescribing assessment, we designed and validated an architecture and developed a prototype for automated parsing of learner prescriptions.
