Artificial intelligence systems for complex decision-making in acute care medicine: a reviewPatient Safety in Surgery - Tập 13 - Trang 1-8 - 2019
Lawrence A. Lynn
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into acute care brings a new source of intellectual thought to the bedside. This offers great potential for synergy between AI systems and the human intellect already delivering care. This much needed help should be embraced, if proven effective. However, there is a risk that the present role of physicians and nurses as the primary arbiters of acute ...... hiện toàn bộ
Percutaneous bone adhesive application for Jones fracture “at-risk” of nonunion or delayed union: a hypothesisPatient Safety in Surgery - Tập 16 - Trang 1-6 - 2022
Niaz Ahankoob, Vincent P. Stahel
Bone adhesives have been on the forefront of orthopedic surgery research for decades due to the potential benefit they may have in fracture management. Current publications and research being conducted on bone adhesive could be applied to our current hypothesis for the benefit of a novel minimally invasive treatment option for a select cohort of fractures, Jones fractures. The select fracture’s go...... hiện toàn bộ

Intraoperatively acquired pressure ulcers are serious postsurgical complications requiring additional treatment, reoperation, and extended hospitalization. No study has investigated the frequency of the ulcers caused by compression with a pelvic positioner, which is used in hip surgeries to stabilize patients in the lateral decubitus position. This retrospective study investigated the risk factors...... hiện toàn bộ

Traumatic aortic injuries (TAIs) are rare but are associated with a high mortality. Prior studies have shown skiers and pilots, whose injuries occur at high altitudes, are at an increased risk for a TAI. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of altitude on the incidence of TAIs across all causes of injury. This retrospective cohort study at six Level I trauma centers (8/1/2016–1/1/20...... hiện toàn bộ
Treatment of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients over 60 years of age - which is the ideal modality of primary joint replacement?Patient Safety in Surgery - Tập 4 - Trang 1-8 - 2010

Femoral neck fractures in the elderly are frequent, represent a great health care problem, and have a significant impact on health insurance costs. Reconstruction options using hip arthroplasty include unipolar or bipolar hemiarthroplasty (HA), and total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this review is to discuss the indications, limitations, and pitfalls of each of these techniques. The Pubm...... hiện toàn bộ
