Article Abstract

Background/objective: The unprecedented pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus has severely impacted the delivery of healthcare services in the United States and around the world, and has exposed a variety of inefficiencies in healthcare infrastructure. Some states have been disproportionately affected such as New York and Michigan. In fact, Detroit and its surrounding areas have been named as the initial Midwest epicenter where over 106,000 cases have been confirmed in April 2020.

Method, Results And Conclusions: Facilities in Southeast Michigan have served as the frontline of the pandemic in the Midwest and in order to cope with the surge, rapid, and in some cases, complete restructuring of care was mandatory to effect change and attempt to deal with the emerging crisis. We describe the initial experience and response of 4 large vascular surgery health systems in Michigan to COVID-19.

Background: Experience with icodextrin use in children on long-term peritoneal dialysis is limited. We describe international icodextrin prescription practices and their impact on clinical outcomes: ultrafiltration, blood pressure control, residual kidney function (RKF), technique and patient survival.

Methods: We included patients under 21 years enrolled in the International Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Network (IPPN) between 2007 and 2024, on automated PD with a daytime dwell.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Introduction: Trauma is the leading cause of death among individuals aged 1-44 years, and it is estimated that many of these deaths could be prevented. Clinical guidance is an essential step toward the optimization of trauma care, especially within rural environments. This qualitative case series seeks to better understand how trauma clinical guidance (TCG) plays a role in rural trauma providers' patient management.

Background: Costs associated with robotic pancreatectomy compared to those of open pancreatectomy are assumed to be high but are not well known, particularly during the initial implementation of the robot.

Study Design: Patients who underwent pancreatectomy for any diagnosis from January 2017 to August 2021 were identified retrospectively. Total hospital cost was calculated using intraoperative, inpatient, and outpatient costs within 30 days of surgery.

Stroke is a severe neurological disorder that significantly impacts patients' recovery and quality of life. Stroke patients frequently experience sleep disorders, including difficulty initiating sleep, insomnia, vivid dreams, and sleep apnea. These disorders not only disrupt nighttime rest but also significantly affect stroke recovery and prognosis, increasing the risks of recurrence and mortality.
