Article Abstract
Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the clarity of magnetic resonance lymphography (MRL) images of the thoracic duct (TD) obtained from subjects following an overnight fast with those obtained from the same subjects after ingestion of a high fat meal.
Methods: Nineteen healthy volunteers were included in this study. TD images were acquired on a 3·0T MRI system with the imaging sequence of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. TD MRL images were obtained from subjects following an overnight fast and from the same subjects 3-4 h after ingestion of a high fat meal. Images were displayed in maximum intensity projection format and degree of visualization was evaluated using a scoring system.
Results: The mean TD score obtained following an overnight fast was significantly lower than the mean TD score obtained 3-4 h after ingestion of a high fat meal (P<0·05).
Conclusion: The clarity of TD MRL images is improved if subjects have ingested a high fat meal 3-4 h prior to examination.

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) represents the ultimate intervention for respiratory and circulatory failure. By maintaining hemodynamic stability, ECLS facilitates drug metabolism and organ recovery, thereby improving survival outcomes. We report a case of severe respiratory and circulatory failure resulting from the oral ingestion of 35 extended-release metoprolol tablets (25 mg each) and 100 extended-release amlodipine tablets (5 mg each).

The ever-demanding job of nurses necessitates night shift work for 12 hours at various healthcare facilities to improve continuity of care. Working at night is associated with physical and mental stress as it disturbs circadian rhythm, affects sleep, influences dietary and eating routine, and impairs cognitive function. Nursing is a high-demand profession that requires working for longer hours, due to which, nurses are at increased risk of occupational fatigue.

Background And Objectives: Electronic data capture may enhance efficiency and patient engagement in preoperative psychosocial evaluations for metabolic and bariatric surgery yet concerns persist about its feasibility in rural populations with historically lower mobile health adoption. This study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of electronic patient-reported outcomes among metabolic and bariatric surgery patients in a rural setting.
Methods: In this quality improvement project, 202 patients undergoing presurgical psychosocial evaluation at an academic medical center in rural West Virginia completed a battery of psychological assessments on a clinic-provided tablet.
