g., having a structured session and a supportive trainer) contributed to the acceptability of the intervention by minimizing training burden and increasing self-efficacy. MCH 32 Tailoring the training to the individual's technological skills and lifestyle, providing post-training resources and involving family members were identified as factors that could improve intervention acceptability.

Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of lower extremity fasciotomies in treating chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). However, not all patients have demonstrated the same level of symptom improvement.

Specific patient variables will lead to enhanced functional improvement after fasciotomy for CECS of the lower extremity.

Case series.

Level 4.

A review of patients undergoing fasciotomy of the lower extremity for treatment of CECS by a single surgeon from 2009 to 2017 was performed. Pre- and postoperative measures of Foot and Ankle Ability Measure-Sports subscale (FAAM-Sports), FAAM-Sports Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain during sporting activities were collected at a minimum of 12 months postoperatively. The primary outcomes of change in FAAM-Sports, FAAM-Sports SANE, and VAS during sporting activities were calculated by taking the difference of post- and preoperative scores. Generalized multiple linear regression analyses benefit more with fasciotomies for treatment of CECS.

Male patients, younger patients, patients with depression, and patients with deep posterior compartment involvement may serve to benefit more with fasciotomies for treatment of CECS.

In the United States, guidelines indicate all pregnant women should be screened for and counseled on alcohol use to prevent adverse perinatal outcomes due to alcohol consumption. The objective of this study was to describe sociodemographic factors associated with receipt of prenatal alcohol counseling and perinatal alcohol use among US women.

State health departments collected data for the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System Phase 7 during 2012-2015, and we restricted the sample to a complete case analysis (N = 135 111). The 3 dichotomous outcomes were preconception alcohol use (3 months before pregnancy), prenatal alcohol use (during last 3 months of pregnancy), and prenatal alcohol counseling. Predictor variables were age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, marital status, health insurance status, and previous live births. We estimated survey-weighted logistic regression models for each outcome.

Half (56.0%) of pregnant women reported preconception alcohol use, 70.5% received prenatal alcohoniversal screening and counseling prenatally. Continued integration of universal screening for alcohol use during pregnancy is needed.

During the last decades, laparoscopic surgery has been introduced as an alternative to open surgery. We aimed to examine to what extent laparoscopic surgery has replaced open surgery for appendicitis in an entire nation during the last two decades. Second, we examined the effects of shifting to laparoscopic surgery for appendicitis on different quality indicators such as length of postoperative stay and mortality. We also examined age as a predictor of 30-day mortality.

During the period 2000 to 2015, all adult patients with appendicitis and surgical removal of the appendix were identified in the Danish National Patient Register. Demographics, type of surgery, time of surgery, and duration of postoperative stay were retrieved form Danish National Patient Register. Vital status was retrieved from the Danish Civil Registration System.

A total of 58,093 patients underwent surgery for appendicitis. In 2000, a total of 274 out of 3717 (7.4%) had a laparoscopic appendectomy, and the postoperative stay was 55 (iqr 35-88) h and 30-day mortality was 0.91%. In 2015, a total of 3995 out of 4296 (93.0%) had a laparoscopic appendectomy, and the postoperative stay was 16 (iqr 9-56) h and 30-day mortality was 0.40%. Age as a predictor of 30-day postoperative mortality had an area under the curve of 0.93 (95% confidence interval 0.92; 0.94).

In Denmark, the standard surgical procedure for appendicitis has changed from open surgery to laparoscopic surgery during the period 2000-2015. At the same time, duration of postoperative stay and 30-day mortality has decreased.

Currently, mental illness among young people is a global epidemic, and rates of disorders such as depression and anxiety are rising. Urban living, compared with rural living, is linked with a higher risk of serious mental illness, which is important because the world is urbanizing faster than ever before. Urban environments and their landscapes, designs, and features influence mental health and well-being. However, no conceptual frameworks to date have detailed the effect of urban environments on young people's mental health, and few studies have considered the growing role of digital and social media in this relationship, leading to calls for the development of holistic approaches to describe this relationship. This article synthesizes existing knowledge on urban places (both built and natural environments) and mental health in the public health and urban planning literature and examines the emerging field of neurourbanism (a multidisciplinary study of the effect of urban environments on mental health and brain activity) to enhance current practice and research. We developed 2 novel conceptual frameworks (1 research-oriented, 1 practice-oriented), adapted from Bronfenbrenner's socioecological model, that focus on the relationship between urban environments and young people's mental health. We added a digital and social media contextual level to the socioecological model, and we applied a multilayer concept to highlight potential cross-field interactions and collaborations. The proposed frameworks can help to guide future practice and research in this area.
