0%), food (16.0%), consultation fee (1.7%), research (0.8%), speaker fee (0.7%), gift (0.1%), honoraria (0.1%), and other (0.02%). Conclusion Overall, 47% of orthopedic resident entities were reported on the CMS Open Payments Database. The vast majority of payments were related to education and grants. Residents should become familiar with how to navigate the Open Payments Database and be educated on maintaining appropriate relationships with industry.Background No evidence was identified in relation to the downward titration/cessation of intravenous oxytocin post spontaneous vaginal birth, in the absence of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH); suggesting clinicians' management is based on personal preference in the absence of evidence. Aim To determine the proportion of induced women with a spontaneous vaginal birth and PPH, when intravenous oxytocin was utilised intrapartum and ceased 15, 30 or 60minutes post birth. Methods This three armed pilot randomised controlled trial, was undertaken on the Birth Suite of an Australian tertiary obstetric hospital. Incidence of PPH was assessed using univariable and adjusted logistic regression, which compared the effect of titrating intravenous oxytocin post birth on the likelihood of PPH, relative to the 15minute titration group. Elsubrutinib in vitro Findings Postpartum haemorrhage occurred in 26% (30 of 115), 20% (23 of 116), and 22% (30 of 134) of women randomised to a 15, 30 and 60minute titration time post birth, with no statistically significant differences between groups. Conclusion There was no difference in the incidence of PPH between the three groups. Therefore, we question the benefit of delaying cessation of intravenous oxytocin for 60minutes post birth. Further investigation in this cohort is recommended, to compare the incidence of PPH when intravenous oxytocin is ceased either immediately, or 30minutes post birth. This research is warranted, as an evidence-based framework is lacking, to guide midwives globally in relation to their management of intravenous oxytocin post an induced spontaneous vaginal birth, in the absence of PPH.Background Intravascular brachytherapy (VBT) is an established treatment for the management of in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, whether VBT is associated with improved patient reported outcomes unknown. Methods We evaluated 51 consecutive patients undergoing VBT in one or more coronary arteries from January 2018 to September 2019. Data on baseline characteristics, procedural outcomes and adverse events were obtained. All patients completed the Seattle Angina Questionnaire - 7 (SAQ-7) form before and after VBT at 1 month and 6 months. Results The mean age was 69 ± 9 years and 29 (57%) of patients were males. Procedural success was 94.1%. The mean summary SAQ-7 score improved significantly (53.2 ± 21 vs. 83 ± 19, p less then .001) at 30-days. The median Quality of Life (QoL) component of SAQ-7 score was 31.3 (Interquartile Range [IQR] 18.8, 62.5) and improved to 82.5 (IQR 62.5, 100), p less then .001 at 30 days and 87.5 [IQR 75, 100), p less then .001 at last follow up. Likewise, the median angina frequency component of the SQL-7 score pre-VBT was 55 (IQR 45, 80) and improved significantly to 90 (IQR 60, 100) at 30-days, p less then .001 and 100 [IQR 68.8, 100], p = .02 at last follow up. Lastly, the median activity component of the SAQ-7 score improved from 83.3 (IQR 60-100) to 100 (IQR 83, 100), p = .01 at 30-days. Thus, results were evident as early as 1 month and sustained at median follow up of 17 months. Conclusion VBT is associated with improvement in patient reported outcome measures at short term and long term follow up.Coronary artery bypass surgery has been the accepted treatment for left main coronary artery disease for over 50 years. Balloon angioplasty was later used then abandoned because of deaths likely due to restenosis or thrombotic occlusion. However, rapid innovations in drug-eluting stent designs leading to more biocompatible thin strut platforms with optimal drug elution profiles and further advances in modern pharmacotherapy involving potent P2Y12 inhibitors combined with utilization of intracoronary imaging and physiologic assessment for procedural planning and optimization have transformed percutaneous interventions into successful alternatives to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in selected LM anatomic territories. Herein, we provide an evidence-based practical guide on how to approach and perform LM percutaneous interventions (PCI).Objective The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has strained all levels of healthcare and it is not known how chiropractic practitioners have responded to this crisis. The purpose of this report is to describe responses by a sample of chiropractors during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods We used a qualitative-constructivist design to understand chiropractic practice during the COVID-19 pandemic, as described by the participants. A sample of chiropractic practitioners (doctors of chiropractic, chiropractors) from various international locations were invited to participate. Each described the public health response to COVID-19 in their location and the actions that they took in their chiropractic practices from April 20 through May 4, 2020. A summary report was created from their responses and common themes were identified. Results Eighteen chiropractic practitioners representing 17 locations and 11 countries participated. A variety of practice environments were represented in this an, Latin American, North American, and Pacific) and provides insights into measures taken by chiropractors during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. This information may assist the chiropractic profession as it prepares for different scenarios as new evidence about this disease evolves.Background The relation between oxidative stress (OS) and sarcopenia in COPD remains unknown. Objective To analyze OS levels and its association with sarcopenia in COPD. Methods Thirty-nine individuals with COPD (69±7years; 41%female) and thirty-five for the control group (69±7years; 43%female) were included. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), paraoxonase-1 (PON1), superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), catalase dismutase activity (CAT), sulfhydryl group (SH), nitric oxide metabolites (NOX), total radical trapping antioxidant parameter (TRAP) were analysed. OS markers were correlated with handgrip and quadriceps strength, gait speed, skeletal muscle mass index, fat-free mass index, maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure. European criteria were used to identify sarcopenia. Results In COPD, antioxidant capacity was correlated with muscle mass and strength (r from 0.5 to 0.64) P less then 0.05 for all. TRAP≤ 850 μM/trolox and AOPP≤65 μM/l were associated with sarcopenia (OR8.3; 95% CI 1.4-49.6 and OR14; 95%CI 2.
