8/27patients (29.6%) had at least one complication of any Clavien-Dindo grade included 2infection. 2/27 (7,4%) patients had a mechanical prosthesis injury during follow-up. The patient's dexterity with inflation of the prosthesis was perfect in 85% of cases, and 75% for deflation. The satisfaction rate for prosthesis use at the time of the call was 75.36/100pts for the patient and 66.88/100pts for the partner.

This study found an increased rate of prothesis infection compared to the general population in the neurologic patient, but patient and partner satisfaction remain sustainable after more than 5years of implantation. Dexterity was maintained over the long term, demonstrating a good selection of indications. These data invite to favorably consider the installation of a penile prosthesis in neurological patients who have failed first-line treatments.

To describe the benefits of an employee engagement and development program and provide an outline on how it may be adapted by other health system pharmacies.

The pharmacy Professional Advancement Career Tract (PACT) program has been active for over 10 years. A concept borrowed from nursing; it has become the primary employee engagement program within the pharmacy department. The program attracts self-motivated staff to participate in activities that benefit departmental operations and enhance the participant's project management and professional skills. Proteasomal inhibitor This has provided an opportunity for staff to demonstrate their abilities and potential for future growth. The resources needed to initiate and maintain the program are program liaisons at the site level, mentorship time, and moderate bonus payments. A vast majority of the projects were completed (including cost savings initiatives) and the beneficial outcomes gained from those outweighed the minimal cost.

Development and implementation of the pharmacy PACT program was a success for both staff and the pharmacy department. This program may benefit other pharmacy departments across the nation.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a relatively common condition of varied aetiology associated with high morbidity and mortality. A range of therapies have been proven to be useful for patients with ARDS, including ventilatory and nonventilatory strategies. Prone positioning is one of the nonventilatory strategies and has been proven to be safe and is associated with significant mortality benefit in patients with moderate to severe ARDS. It is now included in several international guidelines as the standard of care for these cases.

The aim of the study was to develop, implement, and evaluate a prone positioning program in two nonmetropolitan, nontertiary intensive care units in South East Queensland.

A Plan-Do-Study-Actquality improvement model was used to implement changes in clinical practice in relation to prone positioning of patients.

A description of the methods used to promote a complex change strategy is provided in this article.

In this article, we demonstratethe feasibility of introducing a nonventilatory intervention of prone positioning in the management of patients with moderate to severe ARDS in regional intensive care in South East Queensland. This implementation strategy could be replicated and adopted in other similar intensive care units that do not have the ability to provide tertiary services such as extracorporeal life support.

Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) affects 50,000 deliveries in the United States annually, with around 1.5 times the rates among Medicaid-covered relative to privately covered deliveries. Furthermore, large racial inequities exist in SMM for non-Hispanic Black women and Hispanic women with rates being 2.1 and 1.4 times higher than White women, respectively. This study aimed to compare the differences in SMM among women of different races/ethnicities and delivery insurance types. Quantifying the rates of SMM based on the intersection of race/ethnicity and insurance status can help to elucidate how multiple forms of oppression and racism may contribute to the substantial inequities in SMM among Black women.

Using hospital discharge data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample (years 2016 and 2017), we conducted multivariate logistic models to evaluate equity in maternal outcomes among women with different primary payers, overall and stratified by race/ethnicity.

We found aerse maternal outcomes, including barriers to high-quality care among women with Medicaid coverage.

Our findings suggest that Black women with Medicaid do not have higher rates of SMM relative to Black women with private insurance. National and state policy efforts should continue to focus on addressing structural racism and other socioeconomic drivers of adverse maternal outcomes, including barriers to high-quality care among women with Medicaid coverage.

Interest has risen in identifying individuals at high risk of incident Parkinson's disease (PD) to facilitate inclusion in neuroprotective treatment trials. Current risk estimates of prodromal markers are based on aggregated data of an entire population, but this approach disregards differences in risk estimates by subgroups of a population. In this proof of concept, we determine subgroup-specific risk estimates of olfactory dysfunction for incident PD.

PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane were searched for prospective studies investigating the association between olfactory dysfunction and incident PD. Random-effects meta-analysis, subgroup analyses and meta-regression were performed to investigate general and subgroup risk estimates.

Individuals with odor identification dysfunction seemed to be at greater risk of incident PD compared to controls without olfactory dysfunction (OR=4.18; 95%CI [2.47-7.07]). Risk estimates were higher in studies that included higher percentages of women (regression slope β=0.053 increase in log odds ratio per 1% increase 1%, p=0.
