Optimizing Management and Reducing Postpartum Hypertension Readmissions Through Daily Interdisciplinary Discharge Rounds

Optimizing ICU Discharge Decisions with Patient Readmissions

This work examines the impact of discharge decisions under uncertainty in a capacity-constrained high risk setting: the intensive care unit (ICU). New arrivals to an ICU are typically very high priority patients and, should the ICU be full upon their arrival, discharging a patient currently residing in the ICU may be required to accommodate a newly admitted patient. Patients so discharged risk ...

Hypertension Grand Rounds Management of Antiangiogenic Therapy-Induced Hypertension

Angiogenesis, or the formation of new blood vessels, is essential for solid tumor growth and metastasis, and it is regulated by proangiogenic soluble mediators, including the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Antiangiogenic drugs that block the VEGF signaling pathway prolong progression-free survival (PFS) in several cancers and are now in broad clinical use to treat advanced-stage sol...

Etiology and management of postpartum hypertension-preeclampsia.

Postpartum hypertension can be related to persistence of gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, or preexisting chronic hypertension, or it could develop de novo postpartum secondary to other causes. There are limited data describing the etiology, differential diagnosis, and management of postpartum hypertension-preeclampsia. The differential diagnosis is extensive, and varies from benign (mild...
