Is There a Role for Surgery in the Treatment of DiabetesGeorge S. Ferzli
1. Bariatric surgery has been shown to significantly improve or resolve type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related conditions through mechanisms beyond just weight loss, such as changes in gut hormones.
2. Studies in animal models and humans found that bypassing parts of the small intestine can improve glucose control, independently of weight loss, through changes in hormones like GLP-1, GIP, leptin and others.
3. The mechanisms are not fully understood but likely involve bypassing the duodenum and proximal jejunum to alter gut hormone signaling and glucose metabolism.

General Surgery ~~ Fluid management in AdultsYu-Hao Huang
Fluid management in adults involves balancing fluid intake and losses to maintain homeostasis. The body contains total body water (TBW) divided between intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF). Water and electrolyte requirements are met through maintenance fluids which are administered based on weight. Additional fluids must be given to replace deficits from fasting, ongoing losses, blood loss, and third spacing during surgery. Fluid status is monitored for signs of hypo- or hypervolemia, and fluid therapy is adjusted based on the patient's condition and fluid balance. Proper fluid management is critical in the perioperative period to prevent organ hypoperfusion.
This document discusses evidence-based nursing (EBN) and provides background information, examples of successful and unsuccessful EBN implementations, challenges to EBN, and conclusions.

Successful examples include improved safety briefings and checklists that reduced errors. Ongoing efforts are needed to close gaps between research and practice through education, guidelines, documentation and leadership.
The Future of Surgical Training: Needs Assessment of National StakeholdersChristopherCraig30
This document summarizes the key findings of interviews conducted with national stakeholders regarding surgical training needs. The interviews identified improving communication with patients, maintaining technical skills, and developing surgical judgment as priority issues. Educational programs could help address technical skills, communication, and teamwork. While trainees, schools, and governments could fund programs, respondents felt the solution depends on various community and institutional needs. The findings validate recommendations in the literature around lifelong learning and multi-modal simulation-based training approaches. Challenges include duty hour restrictions and evaluating surgeon competency. Next steps involve prioritizing training targets.
Health Insurance Information Needs: How Librarians Can Helpevardell
Objectives: It is a widely perceived but poorly documented problem that many individuals lack clear understanding of health insurance. Librarians can address the unmet information needs that leave many unable to make appropriate health insurance choices. For those with lower levels of health insurance literacy, the ability to procure appropriate levels of health insurance coverage may be limited, which can have dire effects on individuals’ health statuses.
Methods: This study employed semi-structured interviews to explore how newly hired employees at a large university in the southeastern United States understand health insurance concepts and make health insurance purchase decisions. This paper will offer examples of the information needs they described and an analysis of the trends across individuals.
Results: Participants divulged a lack of understanding of insurance-related terminology (e.g., coinsurance). Their confidence in navigating the health insurance system decreased as education levels increased (i.e., those with a doctoral degree reported the lowest level of confidence in navigating health insurance enrollment). Participants also expressed difficulty in locating insurance information resources that were unbiased. These findings underscore an important role that librarians can play in providing access to unbiased, authoritative definitions of health insurance terms.
Conclusion: The collected data form the foundation for the construction of a model of the health insurance decision-making process and offer insight to the library and information science community on how to support health insurance information needs. The proposed model and discussion demonstrate continued difficulty with understanding health insurance concepts and the factors which impact health insurance literacy and decision-making.

The document discusses the Andersen Model of health care access. The model conceptualizes access as being determined by population characteristics (contextual and individual factors) that predispose people to use services or enable/impede their use. These include demographic, social, health beliefs, and enabling resources factors. The model also considers people's need (perceived and evaluated by professionals) and how this influences health behaviors and outcomes. It provides a framework for examining equitable access to care based on need rather than social characteristics or enabling resources.

The importance of maintaining excellent surgical standards, disclosing errors to patients, and respecting patient autonomy are also emphasized. Throughout, the document stresses that pediatric surgeons must practice according to strong ethical principles in order to best serve their patients.
Pamela Mazzocato discusses how lean practices can be used to improve emergency care by reducing waste and inefficiency. Two case studies are described where lean was used: 1) At Danderyd Hospital, lean reduced the time to surgery for hip fractures from 24.8 to 20 hours and increased the percentage of patients operated on within 24 hours from 47% to 83%. 2) At Karolinska University Hospital, lean reduced non-value adding time and variation, increasing the percentage of patients ready to leave the emergency department within 4 hours by up to 29% and decreasing the waiting time for first physician assessment by up to 56%. Lean focuses on continually improving processes to increase value for patients.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Talk about how the data was collectedOur data points to a wide variation in the time it takes to complete each step in the process, largely because the process is different for each patient and because a lot is dependent on constantly changing variables, including available doctor and room capacity.Steps from check-in to triage to examination to consultation – point to wide variation along the way. Generally, long times both to wait for resident examination and for the examination itself.
Though our discussions with doctors and patients, we noticed that there were some differences between the amount of time a doctor expects to spend with a patient and the amount of time a patient expects to spend with a doctor. Because of their long list of patients, doctors aim to do the best job possible while simultaneously being efficient. This leads to them trying to spend a short period of time with each patient.The patient, on the other hand, expects that it will take a long period of time in order for the doctor’s examination to be thorough. According to our survey, patients expect to spend about 39 minutes with the medical staff, including triage, examination, and consultation. In reality, they spend about 23 minutes on average with the medical staff. This difference between the patient’s expectation, the doctor’s expectation, and the actual experience leads to a misalignment between the expectations of stakeholders.
