Article Synopsis
- The 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak highlighted the importance of quickly transporting infected aid workers to high-level isolation facilities, leading to the creation of specialized medical evacuation teams.
- In Norway, a preparedness team was formed for aeromedical evacuations, successfully transporting an infected aid worker in 2014, which led to the establishment of a permanent medical response team in 2017.
- By 2022, Norway was given the responsibility to enhance European aeromedical transport for infectious diseases, leading to the launch of the NOJAHIP air ambulance service, with a focus on improving protocols and sharing lessons learned.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the clinical features and outcomes of acute cannabis toxicity versus acute synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist toxicity in European emergency departments from 2013-2020.
- Using data from the European Drug Emergencies Network Plus, researchers analyzed 2,657 cases of cannabis exposure and 503 cases of synthetic cannabinoid exposure to compare their effects.
- The findings indicate that synthetic cannabinoid exposures are linked to more severe neuropsychiatric symptoms, while cannabis exposures are associated with cardiovascular issues.
