Health effects of e-cigarettes and their use for smoking cessation from a vascular perspective
Vasa. 2023 Feb 3. doi: 10.1024/0301-1526/a001056. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT Tobacco consumption is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Despite all efforts to curb any form of smoking, the number of e-cigarette users is still rising more than tabacco smoking decreases.

Consequences of defensive medicine, second victims, and clinical-judicial syndrome on surgeons’ medical practice and on health service
Abstract Increased knowledge in disease causes and progression, along with technological and technical advancements in their diagnosis and treatment, have led to increased expectations from physicians by patients and their relatives.

Besides, a condition has been described, the clinical-judicial syndrome, affecting caregivers at any moment during a medical litigation.

Implementation of a multicenter performance improvement program for early detection and treatment of severe sepsis in general medical –surgical wards
We report on a multihospital quality improvement program for early detection and treatment of sepsis on general medical–surgical wards. We describe a multipronged approach to improve severe sepsis outcomes using the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Plan‐Do‐Study‐Act model. Sixty sites engaged in a collaborative implementation process that aligned people, process, and technology. Based on our experience, we recommend a stepwise approach to implement such a program: (1) both administrative and clinical leadership commit to a common goal; (2) appoint clinical champions and give them authority to engage other cli...
