Ulcerative C2 neurocutaneous dysesthesia (trigeminal trophic syndrome in an alternative distribution)

Trigeminal trophic syndrome is an uncommon condition characterized by paresthesia, itch, and self-inflicted wounds following the trigeminal dermatome(s). Similar processes adhering to cervical nerve distributions have been reported, calling into question the specificity of trigeminal trophic syndrome for the trigeminal network. Herein, we report patient with trigeminal trophic syndrome adhering to the C2 dermatome, a previously unreported distribution

Master Gardener–Led Lessons Increase Knowledge in Gardening and Environmental Science for Iowa Summer Camp Youth

Gardening and nutrition lessons for children can affect knowledge, actions, and behaviors that support more healthful lifestyles. The objective of the study described in this article was to determine the effectiveness of a master gardener–led education program for youth at a week-long summer camp in Iowa. Garden knowledge was assessed via a pretest, a posttest, and a 6-month follow-up. Campers increased their garden knowledge after the week-long camp. In addition, a 6-month follow-up questionnaire was mailed to parents to obtain information about changes in participants\u27 behaviors. More than 75% of parents noticed positive garden-related behavior changes in their children

Campsite revenue management decision-making - a semi-systematic review

This paper provides a semi-systematic review of the extant literature surrounding the concept of camping and campground revenue management from 1984 until 2023 and presents a conceptual model that encircles and categorizes all the subjects treated in the previous research which was found to be disparate and multidisciplinary in nature. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the state of knowledge in the field and a conceptual structuring of the topic which was previously lacking. By synthesising the various disparate conceptual strands of the topic that have developed over time, the paper presents a revenue management decision-support tool tailored for campsites that organizes the camping revenue management literature around its own conceptual model whilst also highlighting areas for future research

Observational cohort study of the safety of digoxin use in women with heart failure

Objectives: This study aims to assess whether digoxin has a different effect on mortality risk for women than it does for men in patients with heart failure (HF). Design This study uses the UK-based The Health Information Network population database in a cohort study of the impact of digoxin exposure on mortality for men and women who carry the diagnosis of HF. Digoxin exposure was assessed based on prescribing data. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess whether there was an interaction between sex and digoxin affecting mortality hazard. Setting The setting was primary care outpatient practices. Participants The study cohort consisted of 17 707 men and 19 227 women with the diagnosis of HF who contributed only time without digoxin exposure and 9487 men and 10 808 women with the diagnosis of HF who contributed time with digoxin exposure. Main outcome measures The main outcome measure was all-cause mortality. Results: The primary outcome of this study was the absence of a large interaction between digoxin use and sex affecting mortality. For men, digoxin use was associated with a HR for mortality of 1.00, while for women, the HR was also 1.00 (p value for interaction 0.65). The results of sensitivity analyses were consistent with those of the primary analysis. Conclusion: Observational data do not support the concern that there is a substantial increased risk of mortality due to the use of digoxin in women. This finding is consistent with previous observational studies but discordant with results from a post hoc analysis of a randomised controlled trial of digoxin versus placebo
