Nephrostomy drain dislodgment is a common occurrence, with reported rates of 15%–26% (1–3) and should be considered a major postprocedural adverse event. A dislodged drain can cause visceral injury and leakage of contents. It also places additional demands on limited health care resources by leading to unplanned care and prolonged hospitalization and requiring additional intervention to resolve.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) monthly employment report signaled continued resilience in the national labor market. The BLS reported a gain of 263,000 non-farm jobs while unemployment remained unchanged at 3.7 percent. Among the civilian workforce with a bachelor’s degree and higher (the primary target of MRI Network’s recruitment efforts) unemployment continued in what can best be described as full employment at 2.0 percent.

Background: Pneumothorax management is a common clinical condition in the emergency department (ED) occurring in patients of varying ages and caused by multiple etiologies, including spontaneous, traumatic, and iatrogenic pneumothorax. Regardless of the cause, a thoracostomy is often required for treatment (Currie 2007 ). Traditionally, all pneumothoraces were treated with large bore chest tubes (LBCT) defined as any tube > 14 F.

You Choose Where to have Your MRI Many patients think when the doctor says, “you need an MRI ”, they have to use a hospital’s imaging department. That is simply not true. The patient always has the right to choose where he or she goes for their imaging, or any medical service for that matter. In choosing where to go, you may ask yourself “how much does an MRI cost?

BACKGROUND: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as rivaroxaban [Xarelto] and apixaban [Eliquis] have become more prevalent in the aging population and are associated with intracranial bleeding at rates up to 4.2%. (Xian 2019) 4-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrates (4F-PCC), or K-Centra, is a derivative of human plasma and is explicitly used to reverse vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin and non-specifically in the reversal of DOACs.

Since their inception, the ESR journals have used double-blinded peer review, where reviewers were blinded to the authors’ identities and vice versa. As of January 9, 2023, all three journals begin implementing a single-blinded peer review process, where manuscripts sent to reviewers will no longer be anonymized or blinded, but reviewers’ names will continue to be unknown to authors.

Take Home Points Consider the diagnosis of testicular torsion in all patients with acute testicular pain Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency that requires immediate urologic consultation to increase the rate of tissue salvage. History, physical examination and ultrasound are all flawed in making the diagnosis. The gold standard is surgical exploration.

Researchers report that a powerful imaging tool called microCT can be used to create a three-dimensional, or 3D, atlas of the spectrum of lung lesions in both tuberculosis and COVID-19, at near-microscopic levels. This gives unexpected insights into the unseen microarchitecture of the lesions within the context of the whole lung.
