Abstract Introduction HyQvia (Immune Globulin Infusion 10% [Human] with Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase) was developed to combine the advantages of intravenous and subcutaneous immune globulin (SCIG), allowing administration of larger volumes at a single subcutaneous site with less frequent dosing when compared to other SCIG products. Current US prescribing guidelines for HyQvia are limited to adults and do not encompass the flexibility...
Abstract Introduction The CIMZIA® AutoClicks® pre-filled pen (CZP PFP) was developed to overcome barriers to self-injection, by improving self-injection confidence, reducing fear associated with needle use, and supporting patients with impaired dexterity. The purpose of this research was to gather feedback on injection experience and the usefulness of training materials. ...
Abstract Introduction Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading cause of cancer death among US men and accounts for considerable healthcare expenditures. We evaluated economic outcomes in men with chemotherapy-naïve metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC) treated with enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (abiraterone). Methods We performed...
Abstract Introduction Pharmacotherapy is a mainstay of treatment for lower limb chronic venous disease (CVD) and its complications. However, therapeutic agents with evidence-based efficacy for the treatment of CVD are limited. Sulodexide (registered as Vessel Due F in Russia) has confirmed therapeutic efficacy in patients with moderately severe or late-stage CVD, but real-world evidence of its use in Russian patients with initial manifestations...

Abstract This paper makes a phenomenological contribution to the distinction between personal and subpersonal types of explanation. I expound the little-known fact that Husserl gives an account of personal level explanation via his exposition of our capacity to express the understanding of another’s motivational nexus when we are in the personalistic attitude. I show that Husserl’s unique exposition of the motivational nexus conveys its concrete, internally coherent, and intentional...

To investigate the clinical efficacy and mechanism of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in improving renal function in obese patients. LSG led to body weight loss and significantly improved serum creatinine, urea and urinary albumin:creatinine ratio values in patients with obesity, which may be related to changes in adipocytokines and inflammatory factors, post‐operatively. LSG is expected to become a new treatment to prevent or treat renal insufficiency caused by obesity. Abstract Background...
Ileorectal and ileosigmoid anastomoses are typically performed following total colectomy and subtotal colectomy, respectively. There is little focus in the literature on ileorectal and ileosigmoid anastomotic technique, despite these anastomoses having a relatively high complication rate. The purpose of the current study is to describe four standardized ileorectal or ileosigmoid anastomotic configurations, with commentary on specific challenges and theoretical advantages and disadvantages of each....
There are almost no international data on the prevalence of arthroplasty in high‐income countries, where these operations are an important component of maintaining musculoskeletal health in older patients. These Australian data link arthroplasty operations with patient‐level data that are linked to the National Death Register and demonstrate that >800 000 Australians are living with at least one joint replacement, including >22% of all Australians aged over 85 years. Furthermore, we show striking...
Obtaining exposure of the total mesorectal excision plane via a laparoscopic approach is technically challenging due to instrument limitations. Use of an articulating fan retractor is a relatively simple, cost‐effective and easily accessible instrument that allows the surgeon to gain improved retraction and exposure in what is an otherwise technically challenging dissection.
When compared to staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty, simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty patients had faster improvements in pain and function, shorter total acute hospital length of stay and lower health service costs. Abstract Background The advantages of simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (sim‐BTKA) remain controversial. This study investigated the effects of two‐surgeon sim‐BTKA compared to separate admission staged BTKA regarding intraoperative and post‐operative...
This study analysed data from a well‐established and comprehensive peer review audit of surgical deaths in Australian hospitals from 2009 to 2015, focusing on urology cases with identified areas for improvement in patient management. Urological surgical cases with potentially avoidable mortality constitute a small, but important subset of deaths. The analysis of these cases can inform various stakeholders to improve the quality and safety of surgical care. Abstract Background This study...
Investigation into the use of social media platforms by surgical training institutions in Australia and New Zealand. This study explores the use of social media, types of content posted, engagement with social media posts and perspectives towards use of social media for surgical education. Abstract Background Social media are an increasingly important tool for educators, although their use for surgical education in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) has not been quantified. This study aimed...

Abstract Although data sharing is one of the primary measures proposed to improve the integrity and quality of published research, studies show it remains the exception not the rule. The current study examines the availability of data in papers reporting the results of analyses of empirical data from original research in high-impact addiction journals. Thirteen high-impact journals with data sharing policies were selected from those included in the substance abuse category of the...

BackgroundThe idea that individuals are responsible for their health has been the focus of debate in the theoretical literature and in its concrete application to healthcare policy in many countries. Controversies persist regarding the form, substance and fairness of allocating health responsibility to the individual, particularly in universal, need-based healthcare systems.ObjectiveTo examine how personal health responsibility has been framed and rationalised in Norwegian key policy documents on...

Abstract Background Internationally, patient access to notes is increasing. This has been driven by respect for patient autonomy, often recognised as a primary tenet of medical ethics: patients should be able to access their records to be fully engaged with their care. While research has been conducted on the impact of patient access to outpatient and primary care records and to patient portals, there is no such review looking at...

The fractional telegraph equation is a kind of important evolution equation, which has an important application in signal analysis such as transmission and propagation of electrical signals. However, it is difficult to obtain the corresponding analytical solution, so it is of great practical value to study the numerical solution. In this paper, the alternating segment pure explicit-implicit (PASE-I) and implicit-explicit (PASI-E) parallel difference schemes are constructed for time fractional telegraph...
Periodic solutions of the Coulomb equation motion for three equal negative point charges in the field of six equal positive point charges fixed in vertices of a convex octagon are found. The system possesses an equilibrium configuration. The Lyapunov center theorem is applied.

It’s a situation many U.S. retirees can relate to: people over 60 are the fastest-growing segment of the population with student loan debt.
