Experiences of the emergency department environment: a qualitative study with caregivers of people with dementia.

ED crowding and boarding adversely impact older patients' care and outcomes. Little is known about how ED crowding impacts persons living with dementia, a vulnerable population. This study sought to explore ED experiences of caregivers of people with dementia during a period of ED crowding and boarding.

Diagnosis of Acute Poisoning using explainable artificial intelligence.

Introduction: Medical toxicology is the clinical specialty that treats the toxic effects of substances, for example, an overdose, a medication error, or a scorpion sting. The volume of toxicological knowledge and research has, as with other medical specialties, outstripped the ability of the individual clinician to entirely master and stay current with it. The application of machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) techniques to medical toxicology is challenging because initial treatment decisions are often based on a few pieces of textual data and rely heavily on experience and prior knowledge.

Correlates of Injury-forced Work Reduction for Massage Therapists and Bodywork Practitioners.

Background: Injury-forced work reduction (IFWR) has been acknowledged as an all-too-common occurrence for massage therapists and bodywork practitioners (M & Bs). However, little prior research has specifically investigated demographic, work attitude, and perceptual correlates of IFWR among M & Bs.

Purpose: To test two hypotheses, H1 and H2.

Correlates of safety outcomes during patient ambulance transport: a partial test of the Haddon matrix.

The Haddon Matrix has been cited in a recent review of patient safety as a useful framework for understanding Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provider and patient injury prevention and safety during ambulance response and transport. The research goal of this study was to test part of the Haddon matrix, specifically variables within the pre-event host and event host cells, for explaining three multi-item ambulance-related safety outcomes: i.e.
