Intranasal insulin is a putative neuroprotective therapy after cardiac arrest, but safety in humans at doses extrapolated from animal models is unknown. This phase I, open-label adaptive dose-escalation study explores the maximum tolerated dose of intranasal insulin in healthy human participants. Placebo or insulin at doses from 0 to 1000 units was given to healthy participants intranasally on repeated weekly visits.

Article Synopsis
- Shortages of healthcare professionals in humanitarian settings, especially at the US-Mexico border, necessitate understanding how to enhance their involvement.
- A study involved interviews with 27 health professionals to explore their motivations, barriers, and recommendations for improving participation in migrant healthcare.
- Findings revealed that while many professionals had strong internal motivations to help vulnerable populations, they faced significant sacrifices such as career and family commitments, along with barriers like limited education and volunteer opportunities.
Background: Cardiac arrest is a common and devastating emergency of both the heart and brain. More than 380,000 patients suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest annually in the USA. Induced cooling of comatose patients markedly improved neurological and functional outcomes in pivotal randomized clinical trials, but the optimal duration of therapeutic hypothermia has not yet been established.
