Resection via carbon dioxide laser for the treatment of canine urethral prolapse is associated with a higher rate of complications.

Objective: To document and evaluate postoperative complications associated with 3 urethral prolapse surgical techniques: urethropexy (UP), resection and anastomosis (RA), and resection via carbon dioxide (CO2) laser.

Animals: 20 male dogs that underwent surgical treatment for urethral prolapse.

Clinical Presentation: Medical records were reviewed retrospectively.

Case report: Treatment of congenital lobar emphysema with lung lobectomy in a puppy.

An 11-week-old, sexually intact female Catahoula Leopard dog was evaluated for a multiple-week history of exercise intolerance and intermittent periods of respiratory distress. Thoracic radiographs revealed a markedly hyperinflated right lung field, with compression of the surrounding lung lobes. Thoracic computed tomography further localized the hyperinflation to the right middle lung lobe, with suspicion of congenital lobar emphysema.

A mixed-methods evaluation on the efficacy and perceptions of needleless connector disinfectants.

Objective: Optimizing needleless connector hub disinfection practice is a key strategy in central-line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) prevention. In this mixed-methods evaluation, 3 products with varying scrub times were tested for experimental disinfection followed by a qualitative nursing assessment of each.

Methods: Needleless connectors were inoculated with varying concentrations of and followed by disinfection with a 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipe (a 15-second scrub time and a 15-second dry time), a 70% IPA cap (a 10-second scrub time and a 5-second dry time), or a 3.

When it's needed most: a blueprint for resident creative writing workshops during inpatient rotations.

Background: Narrative Medicine may mitigate physician burnout by increasing empathy and self-compassion, and by encouraging physicians to deeply connect with patient stories/experiences. However, Narrative Medicine has been difficult to implement on hectic inpatient teaching services that are often the most emotionally taxing for residents.

Objective: To evaluate programmatic and learner outcomes of a novel narrative medicine curriculum implementation during inpatient medicine rotations for medical residents.

Qualitative Assessment of Rapid System Transformation to Primary Care Video Visits at an Academic Medical Center.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic spurred health systems across the world to quickly shift from in-person visits to safer video visits.

Objective: To seek stakeholder perspectives on video visits' acceptability and effect 3 weeks after near-total transition to video visits.

Design: Semistructured qualitative interviews.
