description: Buprenorphine is becoming a key component of prehospital management of opioid use disorder (OUD). It is unclear how many prehospital patients might be eligible for buprenorphine induction, as traditional induction requires that patients first have some degree of opioid withdrawal. The primary aim of this study was to quantify how many patients developed precipitated withdrawal after receiving prehospital naloxone for suspected overdose, as they could be candidates for prehospital buprenorphine. The secondary objective was to identify associated factors contributing to precipitated withdrawal, including dose of naloxone administered, and identify rate of subsequent transport. A retrospective cohort study reviewing electronic patient care reports (ePCRs) from March 2019 to April 2023 in a single Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system was performed. Cases were included if naloxone was administered during the prehospital interval and excluded if the patient was in cardiac arrest upon arrival and died on scene. Precipitated opioid withdrawal was defined using reliably available ePCR data points measured by the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS): administration of an antiemetic or sedative, persistent tachycardia, or new tachycardia after naloxone. Descriptive statistics were calculated to quantify the incidence of precipitated withdrawal. Risk RATIOs were calculated to identify variables associated with outcomes of interest. A subgroup analysis was performed examining patients explicitly diagnosed with an overdose by EMS. During the study period, 4561 individuals were given naloxone, and 2124 (46.2%) met our proxy criteria for precipitated withdrawal. Patients who received multiple doses of naloxone were more likely to meet our precipitated withdrawal definition versus those who received a single dose (RR 1.2, 95% CI 1.12-1.28). Patients who experienced precipitated withdrawal were more likely to accept transportation than those who did not experience withdrawal (RR 1.08 95% CI 1.04-1.12). Persistent tachycardia (80.3%) was the most common criterion met for our definition of precipitated withdrawal. Almost half of patients who received a dose of prehospital naloxone for suspected overdose met our proxy criteria for precipitated withdrawal. Patients who met our precipitated withdrawal definition were more likely to have received greater doses of naloxone and were more likely to accept transport to an emergency department.

description: For underserved rural communities with limited geographical access to comprehensive stroke centers, emergency medical services (EMS) play a crucial role in timely, high-quality acute stroke care. This qualitative study aimed to understand rural EMS perspectives on barriers and facilitators to optimal acute stroke care in rural communities. Qualitative, individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with rural EMS professionals. Ten EMS agencies in North Carolina were contacted for participation in virtual 45–60 minute interviews and interested agency professionals self-selected into the study. Covered topics included stroke training and education; stroke care experience and expertise; clinical and sociodemographic patient characteristics; EMS workflows; and system- and patient-level interactions and outcomes. Recorded interviews were transcribed and then coded using an inductive and deductive, iterative approach by two independent reviewers in MAXQDA software. Facilitators and barriers to optimal acute stroke care were derived from thematic analysis. Twelve EMS professionals from 4 rural EMS agencies and 1 mixed urban-rural agency were interviewed. Participants worked in clinical (6 Paramedics, 1 EMT) and leadership (2 chiefs, 1 supervisor, 1 field training officer, 1 quality assurance manager) roles for a mean of 4 years (range 1–11 years). Commonly noted facilitators of high-quality stroke care were comprehensive stroke assessment and destination decision protocols, as well as bidirectional communication between EMS and hospital staff. Identified barriers included patient and bystander delays in calling 9-1-1, long transport distances to stroke centers, and limited EMS staffing. EMS professionals noted challenges interacting with nursing home staff and hospital clinicians during patient transfer. Interviewees also discussed the importance of educating the public about stroke signs and symptoms and community engagement. Within rural populations, EMS professionals determined that public education and community engagement are high-priority needs. Professionals also noted EMS’ opportunities to enhance rural stroke care through consistent bidirectional communication and improved prehospital protocols. Future research is needed to further explore these themes in rural EMS agencies outside of North Carolina.

description: Recent applications of medical imaging, advanced polymers, and composites have led to the development of new equipment for athletes and soldiers. A desire to understand the performance of headgear that resists impacts ongoing since the 1970’s has found more traction in recent years with the usage experimental models that have a greater degree of bio-fidelity. In order to determine which features of helmets from different sports (Soccer, Lacrosse, Football, and Hockey) were tested on a Hybrid III 50th Percentile Male headform with an accelerometer rig at the center of mass.Testing was performed by administering impacts to the headform with an impulse hammer that provides transient force data in order to quantify inputs and outputs of the system to develop a non-dimensional transfer function. Helmet performance is compared by sport worn in order to determine desirable manufacturing features and develop prototype helmets that outperforms current athletic equipment.

description: Anticancer drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DIILD) has received increasing clinical attention, and the quality of relevant guidance documents has become critical. Our purpose was to assess the quality of documents for anticancer DIILD and summarize the recommendations. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and consensus statements with recommendations were searched in electronic databases, websites of guideline organizations, and professional societies. The quality of documents was assessed using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation II (AGREE II) methodology, and the specific recommendations were aggregated and compared. A total of 11 documents were eligible, including 6 CPGs and 5 consensus statements, and the quality of AGREE II assessments differed greatly. The domains of scope and purpose and clarity of presentation received the highest median scores, while the stakeholder involvement domain received the lowest score. Recommendations were inconsistent between documents, particularly regarding the selection of steroid regimens. The methodological quality of the guidance documents needs to be enhanced, especially in the domain of stakeholder involvement. Inconsistencies exist in documents, and further discussions among multidisciplinary experts are needed. Particularly, differences in steroid regimens require attentions, and researches on the risks of adverse events and discovery of precise biomarkers are necessary.

description: Italy was Muriel Spark’s elective country of residence for 40 years, the first decade of which, from 1967, when she settled in Rome, till the end of the 70s, represented one of the most contradictory and yet intellectually fertile periods of Italian modern history. Notwithstanding such long-lasting and meaningful bond, explicitly represented in a number of her works, her complex relationship with the culture and history of this country remains largely under-investigated. The article contends that Italy plays an important role in the shaping of Spark’s literary imagination, and that ‘Italian palimpsests’ can be traced in her work throughout her career. Taking the palimpsest as a trope of transformation and construction that implies border-crossing and transit, the article focuses on four novels – The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, The Public Image, The Takeover, Territorial Rights – which explicitly engage with Italy and Italianness. From her investigation of the aesthetics of Fascism in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, to her re-vision of Italian filmic and popular culture in The Public Image and The Takeover, and her playful representation of the palimpsestic literary imagination of Venice in Territorial Rights, Spark’s engagement with Italy's high and popular culture is shown to be rich, complex and transformative.

description: Lymphogranuloma venereum, caused by the L serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis, emerged in Europe in 2003 and a series of outbreaks were reported in different countries. The infection presents as a severe proctitis in men who have sex with men, many of whom are co-infected with HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. This paper reviews the number of cases reported over a five year period, from 2003 to 2008, from countries that were part of the European Surveillance of Sexually Transmitted Infections (ESSTI) network. Reports were received from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. It appears that after five years the characteristics of the patients infected has overall remained unchanged, although the total number of cases has increased and more countries in Europe have now identified cases of LGV.

description: End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring is widely used as a surrogate for the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) in critically ill patients receiving manual or mechanical ventilation in prehospital, emergency, and critical care settings. Specific targets for ETCO2 are a key component of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) protocols, especially for specific patient groups such as those with traumatic brain injury. However, the correlation between EtCO2 and venous or arterial PCO2 is uncertain. We aimed to assess the correlation between EtCO2 and PCO2 in intubated patients undergoing critical care transport (CCT), and in specific subgroups of patients. We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing emergency transport by a multi-state CCT agency. Patients were included if they had an advanced airway and both an EtCO2 and PCO2 reading within 5 min of each other. We obtained data on patient demographics, transport characteristics, medical categories, vital signs, lab values, and specific interventions. We performed univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression to assess the association between delta PCO2 and these characteristics. We included 6,459 patients (mean age 58.4 years [SD 18.5], 57.1% male), of which a subset of 551 patients had multiple EtCO2-PCO2 measurements within 5 min. The median (IQR) initial delta PCO2 was 12.9 mmHg (7.1, 21.9). 3,967 (61.4%) patients had a delta PCO2 >10 mmHg and 1,843 (28.5%) had a delta PCO2 >20 mmHg. We identified an independent association between delta PCO2 >10 mmHg and age, male sex, interfacility transport, venous sampling site, respiratory rate, hypotension, hypoxia, and thoracostomy. In patients with multiple blood gas measurements, 76% had delta PCO2 >10 mmHg over the duration of the transport. We identified substantial differences between EtCO2 and PCO2 across patients with medical and traumatic conditions undergoing critical care transport. The PCO2 assessment should be strongly considered as part of ventilatory management in patients encountered in emergency and critical care settings.

The Influence of Patient Race and Socioeconomic Status on Providers' Assessment and Treatment Recommendations for Chronic Pain
Creators: name: Anastas, Tracy Marie
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: Compared to White and high socioeconomic (SES) patients, Black and low SES patients are less likely to receive adequate pain care, including receiving fewer analgesic medications. Providers may, inadvertently or not, contribute to these disparities in pain care via biased decision-making. Prior work suggests there is a complex relationship in which race and SES uniquely and interactively affect providers’ clinical decisions, but few studies have examined the influence of patient race and SES simultaneously on providers’ pain-related decisions. Furthermore, previous studies suggest that providers’ attitudes about race and SES influence their clinical decisions. The present study examined the influence of patient race and SES and providers’ implicit and explicit attitudes about race and SES on providers' pain-related decisions. Four hundred and seven medical residents and fellows made pain assessment (interference and distress) and treatment (opioids, opioid contracts, and workplace accommodations) decisions for 12 computer-simulated patients with chronic back pain that varied by race (Black/White) and SES (low/high). Subjects completed Implicit Association Tests to assess implicit attitudes and feeling thermometers to assess explicit attitudes about race and SES. Repeated measures ANOVAs indicated that patient race and/or SES had main effects on all pain-related decisions and had interaction effects on providers’ ratings for interference, distress, and workplace accommodations. Providers’ implicit attitudes about race and explicit attitudes about race and SES predicted their pain-related decisions, but these effects were not consistent across all decisions. The current study highlights the need to examine the effects of patient race and SES together, along with providers’ implicit and explicit attitudes, in the context of pain care. Results inform future work that can lead to the development of evidence-based interventions to reduce disparities in pain care.

description: Ambulance diversion has emerged as a strategy to address Emergency Department (ED) overcrowding, but the question of when or whether diversion should be triggered is widely debated. Although the positive and adverse impacts of diversion have been primarily studied using quantitative data, little is known about the experience and perceptions of key stakeholders involved in diversions. Our study aims to explore the challenges and impacts of ambulance diversion as experienced by key stakeholders and their suggestions for improving the diversion process. We conducted semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders including physicians, nurses and paramedics across two EDs and four fire stations. All interviews were audio-recorded following consent and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis to identify key themes and sub-themes. Coding discrepancies were resolved through iterative discussions until no new themes were identified. A total of 33 stakeholders were interviewed. The primary reasons for ambulance diversions were perceived to be resource constraints in EDs, overcrowding and bed block situations. Challenges during diversions included communication breakdowns, operational delays, lack of clarity in diversion criteria and emotional stress for both Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and hospital staff. Participants felt diversions impacted patient safety, staff morale, system efficiency and could generate inter-institutional conflict. Suggestions on improvements focused on use of alternative care pathways, improving hospital’s flow issues, better information sharing, and optimizing the diversion process through strategizing the timing and duration of diversions. Reworking the hierarchical approach of dissemination of information to ground staff was also suggested. This study highlights that while diversions may offer temporary relief for overwhelmed hospitals, they also pose challenges and negative impacts on receiving hospitals and EMS operations. Our findings underscore the need for systemic improvements to address the root causes of ED overcrowding and enhance understanding among stakeholders involved in diversions.

description: Care home residents often experience medical emergencies requiring ambulance attendance that may lead to potentially avoidable hospitalization. We aimed to explore ambulance staff experiences of medical emergencies in care homes. We used a qualitative design and purposive sampling to recruit frontline ambulance staff who had attended medical emergencies in care homes in England, United Kingdom. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews (conducted by telephone or online) and were analyzed using thematic analysis. We interviewed 15 ambulance staff members and developed four analytical themes, capturing what ambulance staff perceived facilitated or impeded high-quality care being provided during emergencies in care homes. Participants felt that effective communication was important to ensure a good care experience and discussed barriers to communications, such as language difficulties or disagreements during decision-making. They highlighted the need for better ongoing care in care homes, further training for ambulance and care staff, and that the current service pressures were a barrier to providing high-quality emergency care. This study highlights the main challenges and facilitators that ambulance staff are faced with when dealing with emergencies in care homes. The findings will help inform the development and evaluation of interventions to improve outcomes and experiences of emergencies in care homes.

description: For African Americans, literacy has historically been rooted in passion, collaboration, and social justice. This study explores two distinct sites of historical African American literacy development: literary societies of the 1800s and print culture of the Harlem Renaissance. Notably, literacy and culture were fundamentally intertwined during these times, creating an urgency and inspiration for literary pursuits not often seen today. In an effort to rekindle this reverence and utility for literacy in classrooms today, a culturally sustaining pedagogy is called for. Culturally sustaining pedagogy seeks to leverage students’ cultural knowledge and skills. By culturally aligning curriculum and instruction, educators position students to experience the transformative power of literacy—a transformative power that was evident in African American literary societies and through the Harlem Renaissance print culture. This study seeks to merge historical and contemporary approaches to literacy development to reconceptualize literacy education and engagement for all students.

description: Artificial Turf (AT) was designed to be a weather-resistant, all-season sports surface alternative to natural turf (NT). However, its integration within the sports community has been hindered due to a reported greater burden of lower limb injury when compared to its NT counterpart. Historically, the evolution of AT has been driven by the arbitrary addition of components to get a more natural feel of play. Present day, third generation (3G) turf has yet to make the necessary improvements to prove it is a true substitute to NT. In part, this is due to standards set in place that mandate a criterion for surface properties and quantify the performance of AT solely by impacting its top-most layer. Surface properties including shock absorption, vertical deformation and energy restitution are calculated by recording peak translational acceleration experienced during impact. Hence, a way to design improved AT systems is to have a robust baseline understanding of how each component performs separately and as part of a composite system. To achieve this type of analysis, a systematic review of the current state of AT and its testing methods was performed. Subsequently, novel experimental testing methods must be developed that provide insight on the transfer of energy experienced through the AT system. A first study was performed in which a second data acquiring instrument was added to current AT testing standards. The elastic shock pad layer underperformed and showed potential for improvement whenever tested individually and in combination with other components. A second method was developed, where impact testing was used to calculate frequency response functions of different shock pad specimen. This method was able to determine isolated and interaction effects of AT components to impact attenuation. Furthermore, this novel methodology has potential for on-field analysis which takes the first step towards smart fields for measuring surface performance during athletic events.

The methodological quality of the guidance documents needs to be enhanced, especially in the domain of stakeholder involvement. Inconsistencies exist in documents regarding specific recommendations for evaluation, treatment and, monitoring of anticancer DIILD, and further discussions among multidisciplinary experts are needed to reach an agreement. In particular, we have focused our concerns on the differences in steroid regimens, and future research is still needed on the risks of adverse events related to hormone therapy and discovery of precise biomarkers.

description: End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring is widely used as a surrogate for the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) in critically ill patients receiving manual or mechanical ventilation in prehospital, emergency, and critical care settings. Specific targets for ETCO2 are a key component of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) protocols, especially for specific patient groups such as those with traumatic brain injury. However, the correlation between EtCO2 and venous or arterial PCO2 is uncertain. We aimed to assess the correlation between EtCO2 and PCO2 in intubated patients undergoing critical care transport (CCT), and in specific subgroups of patients. We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing emergency transport by a multi-state CCT agency. Patients were included if they had an advanced airway and both an EtCO2 and PCO2 reading within 5 minutes of each other. We obtained data on patient demographics, transport characteristics, medical categories, vital signs, lab values, and specific interventions. We performed univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression to assess the association between delta PCO2 and these characteristics. We included 6,459 patients (mean age 58.4 years [SD 18.5], 57.1% male), of which a subset of 551 patients had multiple EtCO2-PCO2 measurements within 5 minutes. The median (IQR) initial delta PCO2 was 12.9 mmHg (7.1, 21.9). 3,967 (61.4%) patients had a delta PCO2 >10 mmHg and 1,843 (28.5%) had a delta PCO2 >20 mmHg. We identified an independent association between delta PCO2 >10 mmHg and age, male sex, interfacility transport, venous sampling site, respiratory rate, hypotension, hypoxia, and thoracostomy. In patients with multiple blood gas measurements, 76% had delta PCO2 >10 mmHg over the duration of the transport. We identified substantial differences between EtCO2 and PCO2 across patients with medical and traumatic conditions undergoing critical care transport. The PCO2 assessment should be strongly considered as part of ventilatory management in patients encountered in emergency and critical care settings.

description: An increase of 153,375 to 248,418 traumatic brain injuries (TBI) due to incidents in sports and recreation activities has been reported in the past couple of years in the US alone. These are grounds for concern for athletes partaking in sports with a high incidence of TBI’s such as football and soccer. The latter, traditionally not classified as a contact-sport, has attracted research due to participants using their head as an instrument for heading. Voluntary heading, in combination with lenient laws and regulations concerning TBI expose how soccer players are easily at risk of injury. On the other hand football, an aggressive sport by nature, has brought attention to the possible neurocognitive and neurophysiological ramifications of repetitive subconcussive impacts. One of these is in the form of a progressive neurodegenerative pathology known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). A priori reasons revealed, led to a need to characterize the most important variables involved in ball-player interactions within soccer simulated gameplay. By understanding these, it would be possible to obtain parameters to design and manufacture new composite-material based protective headgear unlike products that are commercially available nowadays. In addition, development of a testing protocol focused on frequency domain variables - transmissibility and mechanical impedance - would allow to evaluate the performance of football helmets. A focus would be set on low impacts categorized as subconcussive impacts. Incoming velocity and inflation pressure were identified as the most influential variables affecting the peak impact force of a soccer ball. An innovative 6-layer carbon fiber headband, with silicone padding, was manufactured that out-performed existing headgear at attenuating peak linear acceleration. Lastly, quantification of the transmissibility and mechanical impedance indicated poor performance of football helmets below 60 Hz.

description: Die variante Creutzfeldt-Jakob-Krankheit (vCJK) geht als zuvor unbekannte Prionkrankheit des Menschen auf zoonotische Übertragungen von Erregern der bovinen spongiformen Enzephalopathie (BSE) aus dem Rind zurück. Sie trat erstmals 1995/96 im Vereinigten Königreich auf. Bis heute wurden weltweit insgesamt 219 vCJK-Fälle aus sieben europäischen und vier außereuropäischen Ländern gemeldet. Die genaue Prävalenz sub- beziehungsweise präklinischer vCJK-Infektionen ist unklar. Ungeachtet der wirksamen Bekämpfung von BSE und der erfolgreichen Unterbrechung zoonotischer Übertragungswege besteht nunmehr ein theoretisches Risiko für sekundäre Übertragungen der vCJK zwischen Menschen, beispielsweise über Blut und Blutprodukte, Organe und Gewebe oder über kontaminierte chirurgische Instrumente und Medizinprodukte. Eine wahrscheinliche vCJK-Übertragung durch Blut wurde bisher in vier Fällen berichtet, in einem weiteren Fall ist die Krankheit mutmaßlich durch ein Plasmapräparat übertragen worden. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die epidemiologische Situation bei der vCJK und beleuchtet die Überwachung, Gefährdungsabschätzung sowie das Risikomanagement dieser neuartigen, BSE-assoziierten Prionkrankheit des Menschen.
description: In the wake of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic, variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) has emerged as a previously unknown prion disease of humans. The initial occurrence of vCJD was observed in 1995/1996, and, so far, a total of 219 vCJD cases have been reported worldwide from seven European and four non-European countries. Of these, 172 cases were observed in the United Kingdom. The exact prevalence of sub- or pre-clinical vCJD infections is unclear. Despite effective measures that have been implemented against both BSE in ruminants and its transmission to humans, there is now a theoretical risk of secondary vCJD transmissions from human to human, for example via blood and blood products, organs and tissues, or contaminated surgical instruments and medical devices. Four cases of probable vCJD transmissions via blood have been described, as well as one case of secondary infection via a plasma product. This article provides an overview of the surveillance and epidemiology of vCJD and outlines public health strategies for the risk assessment and risk management of this novel BSE-associated prion disease in humans.

description: Between April and June 2010, a small national outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium with a particular multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) type was identified in Denmark through laboratory-based surveillance. The outbreak involved twenty cases, primarily living within the greater Copenhagen area. Half of the cases were children aged ten years or younger and 12 were male; three cases were hospitalised. A matched case-control study showed a strong link between illness and eating a particular salami product containing pork and venison, matched odds ratio (mOR):150, confidence interval (CI): 19–1,600. The salami had been produced in Germany. Microbiological confirmation in food samples was sought but not obtained. Danish consumers were notified that they should return or dispose of any packages from the suspected salami batch. Because the salami product had potentially been sold in other European countries, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control urgent enquiry and Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed systems were used to highlight the possibility of outbreaks in these countries. Case-control studies are a strong tool in some outbreak investigations and evidence from such studies may give sufficient information to recall a food product.

description: Inclisiran is a novel inhibitor of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). This study aimed to explore its safety profiles. Reports from FDA Adverse Event Reporting System were collected and analyzed from January 2021 to September 2023. The ROR method was employed to detect safety signals. Comparative analysis was conducted at levels of SOCs, HLGTs, and PTs with other PCSK9 inhibitors. A total of 136 safety signals were identified, and the majority were novel. In comparison with other PCSK9 inhibitors, inclisiran had a greater number of adverse drug events in ‘Gastrointestinal disorders’ and ‘Infections and infestations.’ ‘Gastrointestinal symptoms and motility’ and ‘respiratory and urinary tract infections’ are the principal causes for the aforementioned safety issues. Nevertheless, inclisiran demonstrates potential advantages in terms of safety, particularly in ‘Eye disorders,’ ‘Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders’ and ‘General disorders and administration site condition.’ Due to distinctive pharmacological mechanism of action, the safety issues of inclisiran merit meticulous consideration. There are some safety profile tendencies that differ from other PCSK9 inhibitors. Therefore, special attention should be paid to its administration in high-risk populations. Additionally, some results remain uncertain, requiring further verification.
