AbstractBackground:Tympanostomy tube (grommet) insertion is a common procedure, with little guidance in the current literature regarding post-operative surveillance. Our institution implemented a protocol to follow up post-surgical grommet patients via audiology at six weeks.Methods:A retrospective audit of all patients less than 16 years old who had undergone grommet insertion during a three-month period.Results:A total of 149 patients had grommets inserted. Exclusion criteria left a cohort of 123 individuals; 82 (67 per cent) were followed up by audiology. Of these, 13 (11 per cent) did not

Abstract Introduction Most children with Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergo repeat polysomnogram (PSG) following adenotonsillectomy (T & A). Repeat PSG is often performed regardless of presence of symptoms of sleep disordered breathing after T & A. PSG data performed before and after T & A performed at our institution over past 2 years were reviewed. Data was collected on patient characteristics such as age, sex, BMI, comorbidities and AHI on pre-T & A study. Data was then analyzed looking at patient characteristics that can help predict significant OSA (AHI &gt;5) in po

Abstract:

Objective Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common functional disorder after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal carcinoma. Management of DGE varies widely and it is unclear how comorbidities influence the postoperative course. This study sought to determine factors that influence postoperative DGE. Methods This retrospective study evaluates patients who underwent esophagectomy with gastric pull-up between 2007 and 2019. The cohort was stratified in various ways to determine if postoperative care and outcomes differed, including patient demographics, comorbidities, intraoperative and p

Intensive care unit follow-up clinics are becoming an increasingly widespread intervention to facilitate the physical, cognitive, psychiatric, and social rehabilitation of survivors of critical illness who have post–intensive care syndrome.

Although no standard recipe guarantees a successful intensive care unit aftercare program, emerging clinics will need to address a common set of

Abstract:

After treatment, cancer survivors require ongoing, comprehensive care to improve quality of life, reduce disability, limit complications, and restore function. In Canada and internationally, follow-up care continues to be delivered most often by oncologists in institution-based settings. There is extensive evidence to demonstrate that this model of care does not work well for many survivors or our cancer systems. Randomized controlled trials have clearly demonstrated that alternate approaches to follow-up care are equivalent to oncologist-led follow-up in terms of patient outcomes, such as rec

Abstract:

Background Catheter-directed thrombolysis may prevent post-thrombotic syndrome in patients with ilio-femoral deep venous thrombosis. We performed a retrospective review of prospectively collected follow-up data to evaluate the results of catheter-directed thrombolysis at our institution. Method Patients admitted for venous thrombolysis were included in the study and their files screened for information regarding results and technical aspects of treatment and patient status on follow-up. A catheter was inserted under imaging guidance into the thrombosed vein. Through the catheter tissue plasmin

Abstract BACKGROUND: Blister aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are uncommon. There is a paucity of data on the long-term outcomes of patients. OBJECTIVE: To review our experience with the treatment of these lesions. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all aneurysms treated at our institution between 1994 and 2005. Relevant operative notes, radiology reports, and inpatient/outpatient records were reviewed. RESULTS: Seventeen patients (3 male, 14 female) with 18 blister aneurysms of the ICA were identified. The mean age was 44.6 years (range, 17–72; median, 42 years). Twelve patien

Little evidence exists on the role of post-treatment imaging surveillance with variable practices across the world. Recent UK guidelines recommend that routine surveillance imaging should not be offered to BIA-ALCL patients, in line with national/international recommendations for other NHLs.
