COVID-19: Ophthalmological Aspects of the SARS-CoV 2 Global Pandemic

In the eye, COVID-19 can manifest as keratoconjunctivitis. The study looked at 21 peer-reviewed articles on the ophthalmological aspects of the global outbreak.

The Developmental Trajectory of Empathy and Its Association with Early Symptoms of Psychopathology in Children with and without Hearing Loss

Empathy enables people to share, understand, and show concern for others' emotions. The study investigated the development of empathy in children with and without hearing loss. Findings highlight the importance of social access for children with CI.

Improving intraoperative evoked potentials at short latency by a novel neuro-stimulation technology with delayed return discharge

Intraoperative monitoring of cranial nerve function records evoked responses at latencies of a few milliseconds. These responses may be masked by the electrical artifact of the stimulation pulse. We have generated stimulation pulses with an ISIS Neurostimulator providing a novel stimulation artifact reduction technique. reduced width of stimulation artifact extends the toolbox of intraoperative monitoring modalities by rendering the interpretation of cranial nerve evoked potentials more reliable

Coronavirus disease 2019 infection and placental histopathology in women delivering at term

Coronavirus disease 2019 causes a severe systemic inflammatory response and results in a hypercoagulable state with widespread microthrombi. We hypothesized that it is plausible that a similar disease process may occur in the fetal-maternal unit. Coronavirus disease 2019 in term patients admitted to labor and delivery is associated with increased rates of placental histopathologic abnormalities. fetal vascular malperfusion and villitis of unknown etiology.

Evidence-based rheumatology practice

Evidence-based rheumatology is an ongoing effort, with continuing revision and update of recommendations. The initiatives on practice-based research to establish quality indicators are a welcome addition to health services research in this field.

Ramipril and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis

Ramipril did not reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. The study was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint, parallel, multicenter trial.

Patient safety in radiation oncology in Spain: a need to change

The Working Group on Patient Safety and Quality of the Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology revised the most relevant national and international recommendations.

Effects of Virtual Reality on Pain During Venous Port Access in Pediatric Oncology Patients: A Randomized Controlled Study

Needle procedures are one of the most distressing practices for pediatric oncology patients. Virtual reality is a distraction method that offers an extremely realistic and interactive virtual environment. Children who had cancer were randomly assigned to either the VR intervention group or the control group. Children in the control group experienced more pain than the children in the VR group. .VR method is effective for reducing pain during venous port access in pediatric oncology patients.
