Words have the capacity to empower or devastate someone. Although a “rose by any other name” may “still be a rose,” if language is not precise and thoughtful in taking into consideration perceptions, values, biases, and culture of people, it may influence the patient, thereby potentially leading to negative patient outcomes. Health promotion interventions include teaching and empowering people to embrace the components of lifestyle medicine utilizing a variety of approaches. An essential part of the intervention is how the message is delivered, specifically the language used to deliver the message. In this article, the implications of language on patient outcomes and suggestions on how to rephrase language with potential negative connotations are described.

Background and PurposeManagers have diverted their attention to developing strategies for managing nursing work. Develop an Egyptian tool for evaluating rationing of nursing care in critical units and its association with nursing organization attributes and six nurse-sensitive patient outcomes.MethodsRationing of the nursing care questionnaire and concurrent record review were conducted to collect data.ResultsDeveloped Egyptian tool of rationing of nursing care contained 36 items in six components. Adverse patient outcomes were detected as medication administration errors (27.9%), pulmonary infection (24.5%), pressure ulcer (20.3%), bloodstream infections (12.6%), urinary tract infections (10.3%), and patient falls (4.7%). The mild level of rationing of nursing care was positively associated with negative patient outcomes and negatively correlated with fair nursing organization attributes.ConclusionThe valid and reliable Egyptian tool for evaluating the rationing of nursing care was developed.

Background/Aims Admission to mental health facilities is often confusing and distressing for patients. Ward rules can help to set out expectations and boundaries but can become restrictive practice when they unnecessarily limit patients. The aim of this study is to understand how ward rules and limit setting can impact on restrictive practice and subsequent challenging behaviour in patients. Methods Three electronic databases were searched (CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsychINFO) using a systematic approach. Seven articles were identified using inclusion/exclusion criteria and findings were synthesised using thematic analysis. Results Six themes were generated finding that ward rules and limit setting could contribute towards challenging behaviour. Passive acceptance could also occur with negative patient outcomes. Conclusions Negative outcomes occurred when patients did not understand or agree with the rule rationale. It also occurred when patients felt a nurse was being emotionally distant or when rule enforcement was one of the only forms of contact.

Purpose This review article provides an overview of autoimmune diseases and their effects on voice and laryngeal function. Method A literature review was conducted in PubMed. Combinations of the following keywords were used: “autoimmune disease and upper airway,” “larynx,” “cough,” “voice,” “dysphonia,” and “dyspnea.” Precedence was given to articles published in the past 10 years due to recent advances in this area and to review articles. Ultimately, 115 articles were included for review. Results Approximately 81 autoimmune diseases exist, with 18 of those highlighted in the literature as having laryngeal involvement. The general and laryngeal manifestations of these 18 are discussed in detail, in addition to the clinical implications for a laryngeal expert. Conclusions Voice, breathing, and cough symptoms may be an indication of underlying autoimmune disease. However, these symptoms are often similar to those in the general population. Appropriate differential diagnosis and timely referral practices maximize patient outcomes. Guidelines are provided to facilitate correct diagnosis when an autoimmune disease is suspected.

Venous Diseases

Summary: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been used extensively in coronary applications. Its use in venous applications has increased as endovascular therapy has increasingly become the mainstay therapy for central venous diseases. IVUS has been used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in managing venous stenotic disease, venous occlusive disease, and IVC filter placement and removal. IVUS has been proven to be effective in providing detailed measurement of the venous anatomy, which aid in determining the appropriate size and the approach for venous stent placement. In IVC filter placement, IVUS can provide detailed measurement and guide IVC filter placement in emergent and critical care settings. It also has certain utility in filter removal. At any rate, to date there are only a few studies examining its impact on patient outcomes. Prospective randomized controlled trials are warranted in the future.
