TL;DR: The data are most compelling in orthopedic spine surgery in which a patient without prophylaxis is more than 4 times as likely to have a deep postoperative wound infection compared with a patient who received local vancomycin, which appears to be safe and effective.

TL;DR: Chronic hemodialysis clearances of isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RIF), pyrazinamide (PZA), and ethambutol (EMB) are examined; PZA is significantly dialyzed and should be dosed after he modialysis, and INH, RIF, and EMB were not significantly removed by hemodIALysis.

TL;DR: The NCCN Palliative Care Panel's recommendations seek to ensure that each patient experiences the best quality of life possible throughout the illness trajectory, and outline best practices for screening, assessment, palliative care interventions, reassessment, and after-death care.

TL;DR: In children ≤10 years of age with noncongenital scoliosis, intraobserver measurement variability in Cobb angle measurement is ± 6° and interobserver variability is ±7°, and to be certain that there is a significant difference between Cobb angle measurements in children with nonCongenitalScoliosis and ≤ 10 years ofAge there must be a change of at least±7°.

TL;DR: It is highlighted the importance of assessing both partner support and marital status when evaluating a survivor’s psychosocial functioning and support network and could lead to interventions to bolster support and reduce distress.
