Diabetes mellitus and functional limitations among older adults: Evidence from a large, representative Ghanaian aging study
CONCLUSIONS: In this representative study, older adults with DM showed higher odds for FL, and this association was partially explained by physical activity and health variables. Investing in a holistic management approach might be helpful for public health planning efforts to address DM-induced FL in old age.PMID:37677886 | DOI:10.1016/j.jpsychores.2023.111481

Methemoglobin as a marker of acute anemic stress in cardiac surgery
iScience. 2023 Jul 20;26(8):107429. doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107429. eCollection 2023 Aug 18.ABSTRACTBiological evidence supports plasma methemoglobin as a biomarker for anemia-induced tissue hypoxia. In this translational planned substudy of the multinational randomized controlled transfusion thresholds in cardiac surgery (TRICS-III) trial, which included adults undergoing cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass with a moderate-to-high risk of death, we investigated the relationship between perioperative hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and methemoglobin; and evaluated its association with postoperative outcomes.

Ischemic Stroke Management: Posthospitalization and Transition of Care
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Jul;108(1):70-77.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack exist on a continuum of the same disease process. Ischemic stroke is common, and more than 85% of stroke risk is attributed to modifiable risk factors. The initial management of acute stroke is usually performed in the emergency department and hospital settings. Family physicians have a key role in follow-up, ensuring that a complete diagnostic evaluation has been performed, addressing modifiable risk factors, facilitating rehabilitation, and managing chronic s...

Top 20 Research Studies of 2022 for Primary Care Physicians
This article summarizes the top 20 research studies of 2022 identified as POEMs (patient-oriented evidence that matters), excluding COVID-19. Statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease produce only a small absolute reduction in a person's likelihood of dying (0.6%), having a myocardial infarction (0.7%), or having a stroke (0.3%) over three to six years. Supplemental vitamin D does not reduce the risk of a fragility fracture, even in people with low baseline vitamin D levels or a previous fracture. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are preferred medical therapy for panic disorder, and patients who disco...

Opioid-Free Cardiac Surgery: A Multimodal Pain Management Strategy With a Focus on Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block Catheters
CARDIAC SURGERY REQUIRING STERNOTOMY presents unique challenges for perioperative and postoperative analgesia. Intraoperatively, the sympathetic response to surgical stimulation must be modulated carefully to prevent excessive bleeding, maintain the integrity of surgical repairs, and decrease the risk of stroke or iatrogenic aortic injury without compromising myocardial and systemic perfusion. This must be achieved in patients whose underlying abnormal physiology, coupled with the effects of the surgical procedure, often result in tenuous hemodynamics.

Male Sexual Dysfunction
Health Psychol Res. 2022 Aug 20;10(3):37533. doi: 10.52965/001c.37533. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTMale sexual dysfunction is a series of conditions, most notably including erectile dysfunction (ED), Peyronie's disease (PD), and premature ejaculation (PE), defined by impaired sexual functioning. The prevalence of male sexual dysfunction increases with age and is relatively high with greater than 50% of men aged 40 to 70 describing some degree of erectile dysfunction. Risk factors for male sexual dysfunction include age, diabetes mellitus (DM), cancer, stroke, hypertension, penile trauma, depression, anxiety, and disturbance i...

Standardised data collection in prehospital critical care: a comparison of medical problem categories and discharge diagnoses
CONCLUSIONS: Medical problems reported by HEMS personnel have adequate correspondence to hospital discharge diagnoses. However, the classification of cerebrovascular accidents remains challenging.PMID:35413859 | DOI:10.1186/s13049-022-01013-5

Site of Nerve Division Affects Pain-Related Behavior and Spinal Cord Glial Proliferation after C7 Neurotomy in a Rat Stroke Model
CONCLUSION: The site of C7 neurotomy affects MPWT and spinal cord glial proliferation in rats with MCAO. Nerve division closer to intervertebral foramen resulted in lower MPWT and higher degree of glial proliferation in the spinal cord.PMID:35371367 | PMC:PMC8967577 | DOI:10.1155/2022/7446482

Surgical treatment of symptomatic pineal cysts without hydrocephalus-meta-analysis of the published literature
CONCLUSIONS: Although the results support the role of surgery in the management of nhSPCs, they have to be interpreted with a great deal of caution as the current evidence is limited, consisting only of case reports and retrospective surgical series. Inherent to such studies are inhomogeneity and incompleteness of data, selection bias and bias related to assessment of outcome carried out by the treating surgeon in the majority of cases. Prospective studies with patient-reported and objective outcome assessment are needed to provide higher level of evidence.PMID:34854993 | DOI:10.1007/s00701-021-05054-0
