Good to excellent clinical and radiological scores were obtained after using an extended lateral approach with lateral femoral epicondyle osteotomy and central meniscus subluxation. No approach specific complications could be observed.
Operative timing, perioperative management and postoperative rehabilitation are rising challenges in orthopedic geriatric trauma. Selleck MEK inhibitor The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of patients with dementia or with a high number of comorbidities treated with hemiprosthesis after hip fracture. Literature regarding patients with high comorbidities is scarce, leaving nothing but endoprosthetic treatment for even the sickest, immobile patients.
A retrospective chart review of 326 patients (mean age 81 ± 9years; 230 women and 96 men) with hip fractures treated between 2012 and 2017 with a hemiprosthesis was performed. Primary outcome measures were surgical and nonsurgical complication rates, best achievable mobilisation during the hospital stay and mortality.
Patients with dementia had 20-fold increased risk to be bedridden after surgery and ninefold increased risk of dying (p < 0.005). Furthermore, they needed significantly more revision surgeries because of surgical complications. Patients classified ASs may be considered.The production of pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, and food ingredients from biotechnological processes is a vast and rapidly growing industry. While advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering have made it possible to produce thousands of new molecules from cells, few of these molecules have reached the market. The traditional methods of strain and bioprocess development that transform laboratory results to industrial processes are slow and use computers and networks only for data acquisition and storage. Digitalization, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) methods are transforming many fields - how can they be applied to bioprocessing to overcome current bottlenecks? What are the challenges, especially for regulatory issues, in the production of biopharmaceuticals? This chapter begins with a discussion of the current challenges for strain and bioprocess development and then considers how digitalization can be used to approach these tasks in completely new ways. Finally, regulatory considerations are addressed, with the goal of incorporating these issues from the outset as new digitalization methods are created.Sepsis and septic shock are still associated with a high mortality and morbidity. A decisive factor for improvement of the outcome is the prompt initiation of an effective antibiotic treatment. The early recognition of sepsis within the first hour is here one of the biggest challenges. Effective empirical treatment comprises purposefully selected broad-spectrum antibiotics and also combination treatment or antimycotics in special situations. De-escalation strategies to narrow down or shorten the treatment are safe and can limit the side effects.
The population of older adults in America is increasing rapidly, but many prelicensure nursing students do not understand the unique needs of these patients. Educational methods are needed that foster a mindset of research and inquiry to help older adults thrive.
A three-pronged educational hybrid was designed to help students create meaningful links between geriatric nursing theory in the classroom and application in the clinical setting.
Test scores increased for 45% of students after the intervention, and 89% reported a greater understanding of evidence-based geriatric care. Students demonstrated increased confidence in discussing geriatric care and sharing theoretical knowledge with peers.
With guided application of nursing theory in the clinical setting, students can use evidence-based care and develop nursing practice that helps older adults thrive. This prepares students to meet the demands of today's health care environment and develop practice standards that will follow them throughout their careers. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(9)536-538.].

The benefits of online education are well known and include increased access and flexibility. Despite the increased acceptance and availability of online courses, challenges exist related to increasing connectedness within the triad of students, course content, and faculty.
Screen capture recordings (SCRs) are web-based audiovisual recordings that were used to deliver course materials in several nurse practitioner courses in two different educational settings. SCRs allow for meaningful feedback to be given in a warm and caring voice and were used to provide individual student feedback on assignments.
Fifty students at a public university and 75 students at a private university received SCR course materials and faculty feedback. At both university settings, student response to SCR course materials and faculty feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
SCRs enhance connectedness by conveying faculty tone, caring, and authentic human presence to students, thereby improving the student learning experience. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(9)531-535.].

Mentoring in the context of the faculty-student relationship can be one in which each benefits. Creative approaches are warranted to help discriminate the boundaries between the student and the teacher as a mentor, which are often ill-defined and blurred given the high-stakes summative assessments of performance.
Six specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-based (SMART) goals were established for a mentor and mentee relationship spanning a 2-year period based on a vision for building a program of scholarship. Weekly mentoring sessions were used to monitor progress toward goal attainment.
While completing the Doctor of Nursing Practice program, the mentee expanded professional networks, obtained funded fellowships, expanded knowledge and skills related to the substantive area of scholarship, and disseminated that work through professional presentations and publications coauthored with the mentor.
Cognizant of the boundaries between course-related products and professional presentations and publications, the goal-driven mentor-mentee relationship is transformational to both.
