OTA/AO 44-B2.1 fractures have a varying rate of syndesmotic injury. Weber B fractures that end between the level of the plafond and the physeal scar (Zone 2) are 2.4 times more likely to have a syndesmotic injury compared to those that end below the plafond (Zone 1). This is magnified in those injuries ending above the scar (Zone 3). This simple classification of OTA/AO 44-B2.1 fractures is predictive of syndesmotic injury and may aid in preoperative counseling and planning.

To investigate, in patients suffering from fracture blisters, the time to surgical readiness in those treated with silver impregnated fibrous hydrocolloid (SFH) dressings compared to those treated with topical silver sulfadiazine (SS) cream, and to determine the direct costs associated with both treatments.

A single-blind, randomised controlled trial.

The study was conducted at Tygerberg Hospital, a tertiary care facility, and Worcester Provincial Hospital, a secondary care facility, Western Cape, South Africa.

Patients >18 years, suffering from one or more fracture blisters overlying fractures requiring surgical fixation, were considered for inclusion.

The main outcome was the time to surgical readiness, following complete re-epithelialisation of the affected site, in both groups. The direct cost associated with each treatment and the daily cost associated with hospital stay per day was recorded.

At an interim-analysis 70 patients had been enrolled and completed the study protocol with 35 patients per group. Groups were balanced across patient and clinical demographic characteristics. A significant difference of 4 days (95%CI 2.9-5.1 days, p<0.001) in the mean time to surgical readiness (SFH group, 5.3 days vs SS group, 9.3 days) was observed.. No difference between the time to surgical procedure as well as the total length of hospital stay between the two groups was observed.

This study reports that SFH dressings is a cost-effective treatment option for the management of fracture blisters evidenced by a significant accelerated time to blister re-epithelialisation compared to a commonly described method of SS cream dressings.

Recently, several studies have suggested that blade-type cephalomedullary nails (CMNs) have a higher risk of fixation failure than that of lag screws, but no clinical consensus exists. This study compared fixation failure between helical blade and lag screw type CMNs with cut-out and cut-through rates as primary outcomes, and degree of sliding length, time to union, and non-union rate as secondary outcomes.

MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies published before March 4, 2020 using PRISMA guidelines.

Studies were included if they directly compared helical blade and lag screw for treating hip fractures. Data could be extracted for CMN alone to avoid mixing CMN and extra-medullary plate devices, such as the dynamic hip screw.

Two board-certified orthopedic surgeons specializing in hip surgery independently extracted data from the selected studies, and the data collected were compared to verify agreement.

All data were pooled using a random-effects model. For all comparisons, odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated as dichotomous data, while continuous data were analyzed using mean differences with 95% CIs.

Fixation failure (OR = 1.88, 95% CI 1.09-3.23, P = 0.02), especially cut-through (OR = 5.33; 95% CI, 2.09.13.56; P < 0.01), was more common with helical blades than with lag screws, though the cut-out rate was not significantly different between both two groups (OR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.38-1.96, P = 0.73). Surgeons should carefully select blade-type CMN when treating hip fractures.

Simulation practices in obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) nursing are used in education, practice, assessment, and the investigation of interventional and behavioral skills related to both routine and emergency conditions.

This study was conducted in an OB-GYN nursing course to determine the effect of simulation practices on clinical practice satisfaction, clinical stress, and self-confidence in nursing students.

A cluster randomized controlled experimental trial was conducted on 122 students (experimental group, n = 58; control group, n = 64). After theoretical training, all of the students applied six scenarios in the OB-GYN nursing simulation laboratory. The students in the experimental group began clinical practice after simulation training, whereas their peers in the control group began clinical practice without prior simulation training. Data in this study were collected using a personal information form, the Pagana Clinical Stress Questionnaire, a self-confidence scale, and a satisfaction subscasatisfaction and stress in students but do not influence self-confidence. Nursing educators may provide scenario-based simulation training to students taking OB-GYN courses to enhance their preparedness for clinical practice.
The findings of this study indicate that simulation training interventions reduce clinical satisfaction and stress in students but do not influence self-confidence. Nursing educators may provide scenario-based simulation training to students taking OB-GYN courses to enhance their preparedness for clinical practice.
To assess the prevalence and determinants of sun protection behaviours among outdoors workers at work and leisure in Alberta, Canada.

We collected outdoor workers' demographics, skin cancer risk factors, job information, and sun habits at work and leisure using self-completed questionnaires. For both settings, we compared use of specific behaviours and modelled determinants of sun protection behaviour scores.

At work, wearing a sleeved shirt (81% often/always) and hat (73%) were most prevalent, while seeking shade (12%) and applying sunscreen (36%) were least prevalent. Workers had higher sun protection scores at work than leisure. Hours spent outdoors was a strong determinant for both models. Additional leisure model predictors were eye colour, sex, skin type, and job group.

Differences in behaviours across settings were observed and should be considered when developing solar UVR exposure reduction initiatives.

Determine the industries with the highest proportion of accepted COVID-19 related workers' compensation (WC) claims.

Study included 21,336 WC claims (1898 COVID-19 and 19,438 other claims) that were filed between January 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020 from 11 states in the Midwest United States.

The overwhelming proportion of all COVID-19 related WC claims submitted and accepted were from healthcare workers (83.77%). Healthcare was the only industrial classification that was at significantly higher COVID-19 WC claim submission risk (odds ratio [OR] 4.00; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 2.77 to 5.79) controlling for type of employment, sex, age, and presumption of COVID-19 work-relatedness. Within healthcare employment, WC claims submitted by workers in medical laboratories had the highest risk (crude rate ratio of 8.78).

Healthcare employment is associated with an increased risk of developing COVID-19 infections and submitting a workers' compensation claim.

Workers' cardiovascular health can be influenced by individual willingness to practice healthy behaviors. A mobile health management program with a challenge strategy was administered to promote workers' healthy behaviors among small to medium-sized enterprises.

A 12-week program consisted of health communication with a challenge strategy was administered to the workers.

The intervention group showed significantly improved scores for cardiovascular disease-related health behavior (Z = -2.44, P = 0.013), the job stress contributing factor of inadequate social support (F = 4.10, P = 0.049), and the cardiovascular disease-related health status of waist circumference (t = 3.22, P = 0.004), body fat (Z = -2.23, P = 0.024), and triglycerides (Z = -3.04, P = 0.001).

This study's significance is its potential for increasing the convenience and joy of participating in intervention programs and acquiring health information through mobile platforms, which are easily accessible to the workers.

Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor affecting children. Elesclomol molecular weight We examine the role of parental occupational exposures and risk of retinoblastoma among offspring.

Our population-based case-control study linked data from four nationwide Danish registries and included all cases of retinoblastoma diagnosed in Danish children (<5 y, n = 144) between 1975 and 2014. We focused on two biologically relevant time periods 90 days preconception to conception for fathers; conception to birth for mothers. Parents were grouped into major industry headings created from Danish industry codes.

We observed increased risk of all retinoblastoma for children of fathers in the food and drink industry and iron and metal industry. Bilateral disease was associated with paternal work in manufacturing and land transportation.

Our results suggest that some occupational exposures may increase the risk of childhood sporadic retinoblastoma.

This article provides a brief overview of how a clinical education and professional development department was deployed to assist and support the COVID-19 response efforts.Nurses' capabilities for evidence-based practice (EBP) cannot be presumed. Even in institutions with longstanding commitment to promoting the use of EBP, nurses may not have the EBP knowledge and skills needed to support clinical decision-making. This article describes a multifaceted approach to (a) renewing a spirit of inquiry about EBP and research and (b) strengthening nurses' EBP capabilities at a comprehensive cancer center.
INTRODUCTION Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) is a common disease process encountered in neonates. Management often includes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) aspiration through ventricular access devices (VADs). However, a common concern surrounding serial access of implanted subcutaneous reservoirs includes introduction of infection. In addition, there is great variability in aseptic technique. Therefore, the authors sought to evaluate the incidence of VAD access-associated infections in the literature and compare them with the rate of infection found at our institution. We also highlight the use of a preassembled VAD access kit and standardized access protocol, as well as the role of provider education, in maintaining safety and sterility during serial VAD access. METHODS A single-institution retrospective review was performed for PHH patients younger than 1 year old undergoing serial CSF aspirations via implanted VADs (2009-2019). Patients were excluded if they had a ventriculoperitoneal shunt placed as primary intervention.
