Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) are a leading cause of healthcare acquired infections. Strong evidence for CAUTI best practices exists, however, the struggle to translate best practice evidence into everyday practice remains a challenge. Catheter associated urinary tract infection rates continue to be a problem despite organizational efforts to implement best practice guidelines; the challenge is to effectively translate and embed best practices into everyday practice. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will no longer reimburse hospitals for expenses associated with hospital acquired CAUTI; moreover, hospitals are subject to penalties for high rates of hospital acquired CAUTIs. …

This article discusses this disorder and goes into detail about the forms of it, procedures that are done to try and help those living with epilepsy, and artwork that is inspired by this disorder.

Combining Novel Direction Modulated Brachytherapy Tandem-And-Ovoids Applicators For Treatment Planning Of Multi-Institutional Cervical Cancer Cases: Removing Needles In Intracavitary-Interstitial Techniques, Sharmin Alam

Theses and Dissertations

Lack of standard guidelines for optimal needle insertion during high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary-interstitial (IC-IS) brachytherapy of the cervix means a sophisticated and technical skillset of inserting needles next to IC applicators must be developed to enhance plan quality. This study sought to evaluate the performance of two separate direction modulated brachytherapy (DMBT) tandem applicators used in conjunction with one set of novel DMBT ovoids, to effectively obviate the need for IS needles.

A cohort of 32 retrospective clinical HDR brachytherapy plans was re-planned with Varian’s BrachyVision^® treatment planning system, using VEGO^® inverse optimization algorithm, with dose heterogeneity accounted for …

The Impact Of Bracing On Kinesiophobia And Recovery In Acl Reconstruction Patients: A Case Study, N Valdecanas, K Neelon, K Braunreiter

Clinical Practice in Athletic Training

Introduction: With 100,000 to 200,000 cases reported in the U.S. yearly, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a commonly torn structure in the knee among contact and non-contact sports. As medical research on ACL injuries grows, ACL reconstruction (ACLR) continues to be the preferred surgical intervention. Due to extensive rehabilitation timeline requirements, ACLR patients may face physical and psychosocial circumstances affecting their overall recovery. At any point in rehabilitation the patient may experience kinesiophobia, or an irrational fear relating to further injury from participation in physical movement, especially with return to running, jumping, and sports-specific programs. Functional bracing has been …
