When the medium massages perceptions: Personal (vs. public) displays of information reduce crowding perceptions and outsider mistreatment of frontline staff.

Crowded waiting areas are volatile environments, where seemingly ordinary people often get frustrated and mistreat frontline staff. Given that crowding is an exogenous factor in many industries (e.g.

Conflict and Care: Israeli Healthcare Providers and Syrian Patients and Caregivers in Israel.

Israel has provided immediate healthcare to Syrian children, civilians and fighters since early 2013 despite being in an official state of war with Syria since 1973. We present qualitative findings from a larger mixed-methods phenomenological study to understand how the geopolitical and social history of Israel and Syria influences healthcare providers and Syrian patient caregivers in northern Israel. Theories of humanization and cognitive dissonance guided this study and frame the beliefs and experiences of healthcare providers who treated wounded Syrians in Israeli hospitals.

Disagreement between emergency department admission diagnosis and hospital discharge diagnosis: mortality and morbidity.

Background: Previous studies have shown that changes in diagnoses from admission to discharge are associated with poorer outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate how diagnostic discordance affects patient outcomes.

Methods: The first three digits of ICD-9-CM codes at admission and discharge were compared for concordance.

The Second Lebanon War Experience at Western Galilee Hospital.

The summer of 2006 in northern Israel served as the battleground for the second war against Hezbollah based along Israel's border with southern Lebanon. Western Galilee Hospital (WGH), which is located only 6 miles from the Lebanese border, served as a major medical center in the vicinity of the fighting. The hospital was directly impacted by Hezbollah with a Katyusha rocket, which struck the ophthalmology department on the 4th floor.

Encountering anger in the emergency department: identification, evaluations and responses of staff members to anger displays.

Background. Anger manifestations in emergency departments (EDs) occur daily, interrupting workflow and exposing staff to risk. Objectives.

An odd pilgrim in the Holy Land.

Fugu is a delicate dish prepared from Lagocephalus scleratus, a poisonous fish that contains tetrodotoxin--a very potent neurotoxin. It is usually confined to the Indo-Pacific Ocean where it is responsible for many accidental deaths each year. This very weird case report is about an Israeli couple that was poisoned by this fish caught for the first time in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation surprise drills for assessing, improving and maintaining cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills of hospital personnel.

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a sudden emergency procedure that requires a rapid and efficient response, and personnel trained in lifesaving procedures. Regular practice and training are necessary to improve resuscitation skills and reduce anxiety among the staff. Western Galilee Hospital has developed simulator programs for surprise CPR training exercises in all hospital departments and units.

[The importance of CPR training for assessing the knowledge and skills of hospital medical and nursing personnel].

Background: Saving life demands only two hands and some basic knowledge. A qualified person can open airways, resuscitate, massage a heart and call for help. A person with cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training can sustain an ailing person's heart and brain for a short time.

Troponin assays for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndrome: where do we stand?

Under normal circumstances, most intracellular troponin is part of the muscle contractile apparatus, and only a small percentage (< 2-8%) is free in the cytoplasm. The presence of a cardiac-specific troponin in the circulation at levels above normal is good evidence of damage to cardiac muscle cells, such as myocardial infarction, myocarditis, trauma, unstable angina, cardiac surgery or other cardiac procedures. Troponins are released as complexes leading to various cut-off values depending on the assay used.
