    Abstract Gould syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome due to a COL4A1 or COL4A2 mutation that is commonly characterised by familial porencephaly, seizures, intracranial haemorrhages, cataracts, nephropathies and more. There have been up to 137 identified patients based on a review of the literature. In this case, we describe a male infant that presents with hemiparesis, developmental delay and gait abnormalities at his well-child check. Referral to neurology and a subsequent MRI demonstrated porencephaly and ocular lens abnormalities. Genetic sequencing uncovered a mutation to the COL4A1 gene, suggesting Gould syndrome. There are no family members with similar phenotypes. Mutations to the COL4A1 and COL4A2 genes result in disruption of collagen found in most basement membranes, resulting in a variety of phenotypes that can make diagnosis difficult. Genetic identification of these patients is critical as these patients require a multidisciplinary approach to care and specific counselling on risk reduction techniques.

  7. Article ; Online: Increasing illness severity of skilled nursing facility patients over time: Implications for readmission penalties.

    Abstract: Background: Current financial penalties for rehospitalization of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) patients are based in part on the studies by Ouslander et al., 2011, and Mor et al., 2010, demonstrating that many SNF hospitalizations were avoidable. ... ...

    Abstract Background: Current financial penalties for rehospitalization of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) patients are based in part on the studies by Ouslander et al., 2011, and Mor et al., 2010, demonstrating that many SNF hospitalizations were avoidable. With increasing age, complex illness severity, and use of SNFs for subacute rehabilitation, readmission metrics and financial penalties based on previous data may be due for reevaluation.
    Methods: Retrospective electronic medical record (EMR) review of 21,591 admissions and discharges between 2010 and 2019 inclusive. Data extracted included demographics, LACE, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and simplified HOSPITAL score parameters. The scores were calculated for the study years from the extracted data. Patients readmitted to the hospital within 30 days were identified.
    Results: Mean yearly score of all three indices rose steadily: LACE score 10.76-12.04 (0.43 estimated annual increase, 95% CI [0.39, 0.46]), CCI 4.26-5.05 (0.31 estimated annual increase, 95% CI [0.27, 0.34]), and simplified HOSPITAL score 3.46-4.03 (0.21 estimated annual increase, 95% CI [0.18, 0.24]). The estimated probability of readmission across observed CCI scores ranged from 15.4% to 15.9%, 95% CI bounds (10.8%, 22.7%). The estimated probability of readmission across observed LACE scores ranged from 4.7% to 36.3%, 95% CI bounds (3.4%, 54.7%). The estimated probability of readmission across observed HOSPITAL scores ranged from 5.8% to 54.1%, 95% CI bounds (6.2%, 66.0%).
    Conclusions and implications: The study confirms anecdotal experience that the illness acuity of patients admitted to SNFs increased progressively over time and was associated with an increased risk of 30-day readmissions to the hospital. Our study suggests that the use of clinically validated readmission risk assessment tools instead of the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing Program (SNF VBP) current risk adjustors may be a more accurate reflection of the current illness severity of a facility's patient population at the time of payment adjustment.

    Abstract Aim: Pelvic exenteration surgery is an umbrella term for a multitude of operative techniques for locally advanced and recurrent pelvic malignancy. Currently, there is heterogeneity in the operative description that limits the interpretation of patient outcome and collaboration between units through standardized data collection. Our study aims to develop a consensus lexicon to describe the operative components of extended and exenteration pelvic surgery.
    Method: This study adopted a mixed-methods approach using semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, focus groups and validation exercises involving pelvic exenteration experts from centres in the UK. Qualitative data were collected, and descriptive statistics are presented.
    Results: We identified eight headings with 32 subheadings that encompass all components of the extent of the potential surgery. The lexicon was validated by 15 UK specialists. A 'high-complexity pelvic exenteration' was defined as encompassing 'conventional pelvic exenteration' with the extension of surgery to remove bony structures or the structures in the pelvic sidewall. Pelvic sidewall structures include major vessels, sciatic nerves and/or bone. Bony structures include the sacrum and/or pubic bones.
    Conclusion: This pelvic exenteration lexicon will permit classification of the surgical approach used that will improve data synthesis, allow more accurate activity recording for audit and ultimately improved outcomes for patients.

    Abstract Nutrition plays an important role in equine health, including that of the foot. Deficiencies and excesses of dietary components can affect the growth and function of the foot and have been associated with important podiatric diseases. The recognition, prevention, and treatment of specific notable nutritional diseases of the foot are discussed, as well as information regarding specific ingredients included in supplements meant to improve equine hoof quality. Ensuring provision of a balanced diet, maintaining horses in appropriate body condition, and seeking guidance from an equine nutritionist when creating dietary recommendations will prevent most equine foot disease related to nutrition.
