Effectiveness of implementing a standardized perioperative pain management protocol in children undergoing tonsillectomy: A quality improvement project
CONCLUSION: The quality improvement project highlighted notable improvements in the intervention group for whom a standardized perioperative pain management protocol was used, including reduced opioid medication administration, lower incidence of respiratory interventions, and high adherence to the pain management protocol. These findings underscore the effectiveness and feasibility of standardized protocols in enhancing patient outcomes.PMID:38695104 | DOI:10.1111/pan.14917 (Source: Paediatric Anaesthesia)

Walking the tightrope: Fertility preservation among hereditary breast and ovarian Cancer syndrome Previvors
CONCLUSION: Patients with HBOC did not undergo expedited fertility treatment compared to control patients undergoing oocyte and embryo cryopreservation for non-infertility reasons. Patients diagnosed with BRCA1 had more oocytes retrieved compared to the control population which is possibly due to earlier age of presentation in the setting of recommended age of risk reducing surgery being age 35-40. When age matched, cycle outcomes did not differ between HBOC and control patients. Given the known cancer prevention benefit and recommendations for risk-reducing surgery, future studies should focus on guidelines for fertility ...

The Publishing Dilemmas of Authors Who Have Lived Experience With Mental Illness
Psychiatr Serv. 2024 May 2:appips20240026. doi: 10.1176/appi.ps.20240026. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis column details some of the ways in which psychiatric survivors or those writing about their lived experience with mental illness are disadvantaged and devalued in mainstream academic publishing. This devaluation stems from structural issues involving various organizations, persons, and practices. Breaking the constraints of this structure is extremely difficult, but the author proposes some ways of doing so.PMID:38693832 | DOI:10.1176/appi.ps.20240026 (Source: Psychiatric Services)

Collaborative Care for Depression and Anxiety: Racial-Ethnic Differences in Treatment Engagement and Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: This CoCM implementation appears to have been effective in treating depression and anxiety among Black and Hispanic patients. However, significant disparities in receipt of follow-up care were observed. Efforts must be made to improve the retention of patients from racial-ethnic minority groups in collaborative care.PMID:38693836 | DOI:10.1176/appi.ps.20230482 (Source: Psychiatric Services)

Short-time mentoring - enhancing female medical students' intentions toward surgical careers
CONCLUSION: For the first time we could show that short-mentoring and demonstrating role models in a seminar surrounding has a significant impact on female medical student decision´s to pursue a career in a surgery speciality. This concept may be a practical and efficient concept to refine the gender disparity in surgery and related disciplines.PMID:38696113 | PMC:PMC11067559 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2024.2347767 (Source: Medical Education Online)

Student-run free clinics may enhance medical students' self-confidence in their clinical skills and preparedness for clerkships
CONCLUSION: SRFCs are a useful tool in the medical school curriculum that help bridge the gap between classroom learning and clinic and may encourage practice in medically underserved communities. SRFCs also integrate classroom material and clinical practice, although standardized evaluation metrics need to be developed. SRFCs should be incorporated as a learning experience by medical schools nationwide.PMID:38696139 | PMC:PMC11067551 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2024.2348276 (Source: Medical Education Online)

Health care itineraries for women in situations of abortion: methodological aspects of a qualitative study for Birth in Brazil II survey
Cad Saude Publica. 2024 Apr 29;40(4):e00006223. doi: 10.1590/0102-311XPT006223. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTIn recent decades, several academic studies on abortion have been produced in Brazil, with different designs, objectives, and methodologies. However, due to the diversity of situations in which Brazilian women experience abortion, the complexity of this topic, and its modulations in different political and sociocultural contexts, it still challenges academicians and the fields of health and reproductive rights. In this article, we present methodological aspects of a qualitative study on health care itineraries of women ...

Asymmetries between national articulation and the autonomy of state governments in implementing health technologies to fight COVID-19 in Argentina
This study sought to analyze how articulation vs. cooperation and autonomy vs. division of powers between entities occurred in Argentina, exploring asymmetries between several entities in implementing public policies related to health technologies during the pandemic and the influences of other actors. For this, a documentary research was carried out related to 2020-2021 (technical reports published by the World Health Organization, national agencies and scientific societies, laws, court decisions, press, and research and in-depth interviews with members of the Argentine Ministries of Health). The processes and results of ...
