Effect of RapidShock Implementation on Perishock Pause in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

Objectives: Shorter pauses in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are associated with better health outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Our primary objective was to examine the effect of a RapidShock defibrillator software upgrade compared with standard defibrillator software on the length of perishock pause during care for OHCA among adults. Secondary objectives were to assess the effects of RapidShock on other CPR pauses.

Gastroesophageal signet ring cell carcinoma morbidity and mortality: A retrospective review.

Background: Upper gastrointestinal (GI) signet ring cell carcinomas (SRCC) confer a poor prognosis. The benefit of operative intervention for this patient group is controversial in terms of overall survival.

Aim: To investigate factors relating to survival in patients with upper GI SRCC.

The immunomodulatory effect of oral NaHCO is mediated by the splenic nerve: multivariate impact revealed by artificial neural networks.

Stimulation of the inflammatory reflex (IR) is a promising strategy for treating systemic inflammatory disorders. Recent studies suggest oral sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) as a potential activator of the IR, offering a safe and cost-effective treatment approach. However, the mechanisms underlying NaHCO-induced anti-inflammatory effects remain unclear.

The impact of COVID-19 and masking practices on pertussis cases at a large academic medical center (2019-2021).

We reviewed cases of Bordatella pertussis (B. pertussis) cases in ambulatory clinics at a large academic health care institution in Los Angeles from 2019-2021. Public health prevention measures during the Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic impacted the number of pertussis cases identified.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the health education needs of people suffering from several pathologies including HIV and/or hepatitis, living in vulnerable conditions in Therapeutic Coordination Apartments (known in French as Appartements de Coordination Thérapeutique under the acronym ACT).

Method: This article is based on a qualitative and collaborative study involving in research team people living in ACT, professionals of ACT and academics. Interview guides based on the literature were developed.
