Toe-to-hand transfer is a favorable option for finger reconstruction, but donor site healing can be challenging. The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap has yet to be used widely for toe reconstruction. The purpose of this report was to validate the efficacy of the sequential simultaneous free SCIP flap transfer for the toe flap donor site in a consecutive case series. The medical records of 18 consecutive patients who underwent a simultaneous SCIP flap transfer and a toe-to-hand transplant were reviewed. Free SCIP flap reconstruction was performed in a simultaneous 2-team approach. The SCIP flaps were transferred to various toe flap donor sites a great toe wraparound flap in 9 cases, a second toe distal phalangeal flap in 4 cases, a great toe osteo-onycho-cutaneous flap in 3 cases, a twisted wraparound flap in 1 case, and a great toe hemipulp flap in 1 case. The size of the SCIP flap ranged from 5 × 3 to 16 × 8 cm. A mean of the total operative time was 229.2 minutes (range, 118-ble.A German regulation requires nursing managers to document patient-nurse ratios. They have to combine heterogeneous hospital data from different sources. Missing documentation or ratios that are too high lead to sanctions. Automated approaches are needed to accelerate the time-consuming and error-prone documentation process. A documentation and visualization system was implemented. The system allows nursing managers to quickly and automatically create the documentation required by the regulation. Interactive visualization dashboards assist with the analysis of patient and staff numbers. IU1 chemical structure The developed method was effectively used in nursing management tasks. No changes to the information technology infrastructure were needed. The new process is around 35 hours per month faster and less error-prone. The documentation functionality automatically reads the required information and correctly calculates the documentation. The visualization functionality allows nursing managers to assess the current patient-nurse ratios before the documentation is submitted. The method scales to multiple wards and locations. It calculates the sanctions to expect and is easily updatable. The proposed method is expected to decrease nursing administration workloads and facilitate the analysis of nursing management data in a cost-effective way.This study investigated relationships between youth physical activity (PA) environments and income and non-Hispanic White population across the United States, stratified by US Census region and urban-rural designation. For all counties (n = 3142), publicly accessible data were used for sociodemographic indicators (ie, median household income and percent non-Hispanic White population) and a composite PA environment index (including exercise opportunities, violent crime incidence, walkability, and access to public schools). One-way analysis of variance was used to examine differences in PA environment index values according to income and non-Hispanic White population tertiles. There were significant differences in PA environments according to tertiles of income (F = 493.5, P less then .001) and non-Hispanic White population (F = 58.6, P less then .001), including variations by region and urban-rural designation. Public health practice and policy initiatives, such as joint use agreements, Safe Routes to School programs, and targeted funding allocations, should be used to address more pronounced income-based disparities in Southern and metropolitan counties and race-based disparities in rural and micropolitan counties. The reproduction number is a fundamental epidemiologic concept used to assess the potential spread of infectious diseases and whether they can be eliminated. We estimated the 2017 United States HIV effective reproduction number, Re, the average number of secondary infections from an infected person in a partially infected population. We
