Objective

To identify strategies and interventions used to improve interprofessional collaboration and integration (IPCI) in primary care.

Design

Scoping review DATA SOURCES: Specific Medical Subject Headings terms were used, and a search strategy was developed for PubMed and afterwar...
Mutations in TDP2, encoding tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2, have been associated with a syndromal form of autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia, type 23 (SCAR23). This is a very rare and progressive neurodegenerative disorder described in only nine patients to date, and caused by splice site o...

Background

Frailty screening instruments are increasingly studied as risk predictors for adverse postoperative outcomes. However, because of the lack of comparative research, it is unclear which screening instrument performs best. This study therefore compared the diagnostic accuracy of seve...
Congenital structural heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of infant death from birth defects. Postnatal survival primarily depends on the type and severity of the defect. In addition, worse cardiac prognosis is observed when extra-cardiac anomalies (ECA) are associated. This retrospective chart...

Background

Despite numerous attempts to improve interprofessional collaboration and integration (IPCI) in primary care, patients, care providers, researchers, and governments are still looking for tools and guidance to do this more efficiently. To address these issues, we decided to develop ...
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is accurate for fetal sex determination in singleton pregnancies, but its accuracy is not well established in twin pregnancies. Here, we present an accurate sex prediction model to discriminate fetal sex in both dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) and monochorionic dia...
The human nasopharynx is the main reservoir for Streptococcus pneumoniae. We applied conventional and molecular methods to determine the prevalence of S. pneumoniae nasopharyngeal colonization in adults. Paired trans-orally and trans-nasally obtained nasopharyngeal samples from 268 parents of 24-mon...
We present a protocol for the rapid postmortem bedside procurement of selected tissue samples using an endoscopic endonasal surgical technique that we adapted from skull base surgery. We describe steps for the postmortem collection of blood, cerebrospinal fluid, a nasopharyngeal swab, and tissue sam...
Non-invasive prenatal testing has been introduced for the detection of Trisomy 13, 18, and 21. Using genome-wide screening also other "rare" autosomal trisomies (RATs) can be detected with a frequency about half the frequency of the common trisomies in the large population-based studies. Large prosp...
