Detecting occult hemorrhage bleeding using a new protocol called the UFOH protocol: Ultrasound Focused Occult Hemorrhage.

Point-of-care abdominal ultrasound (US) has emerged as a powerful tool for clinicians and is becoming a routine bedside tool to rapidly diagnose, manage hemodynamics, monitor fluid status, and guide procedures in emergency and critical care. Extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma (eFAST), is commonly used to detect free intraperitoneal blood in the trauma setting and may also be an option in non-trauma patients. However, it has significant limitations for detecting gastrointestinal or retroperitoneal bleeding.

Efficacy of skin-to-skin contact between mother and infant on maternal outcomes during the third stage of labour: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage is a preventable cause of maternal mortality that commonly occurs during the third stage of labour. Skin-to-skin contact is an intervention that can support the physiological processes of labour by increasing oxytocin levels, which can accelerate placental expulsion and enhance uterine contractions, thereby contributing to the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage.

Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of skin-to-skin contact on key maternal variables during the third stage of labour, including the duration of this stage, placental integrity, the need for manual placental extraction, the administration of therapeutic uterotonics, and the position of the uterine fundus.

[Good practices in epidemiological surveillance for the sustainability of measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome elimination in El Salvador, 2019-2023Boas práticas de vigilância epidemiológica para a sustentabilidade da eliminação do sarampo, da rubéola e da síndrome da rubéola congênita em El Salvador, 2019-2023].

Objective: Describe good practices in epidemiological surveillance implemented in El Salvador between 2019 and 2023 to sustain the elimination of measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome.

Methods: Special descriptive report on the implementation of good epidemiological and laboratory surveillance practices for measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome from 2019 to 2023.

Results: During the period 2019 to 2023, El Salvador reported no confirmed cases of measles, rubella, or congenital rubella syndrome.

Meeting 24-hour movement guidelines and mortality risk in older adults: cross-sectional and longitudinal pooled analysis in the Seniors-ENRICA cohorts.

Background: We assessed the association of adherence to the guidelines and subsequent changes over time in adherence with all-cause mortality.

Methods: We used data from 3518 and 3273 older adults, aged 60-96 years at baseline, from Seniors-ENRICA-1 and 2 cohorts, respectively. Adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines was defined as ≥150 minutes/week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behavior (SB) ≤8 hours/day (including ≤3 hours/day of recreational screen time), and 7-9 hours/day of sleep if aged 18-64y or 7-8 hours/day if aged ≥65y.
