This article aims to meet an unmet need to profile the sociodemographic and practice characteristics of yoga providers in Australia.

Parents' Use of Social Media for Health Information Before and After a Consultation With Health Care Professionals: Australian Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Social media is a crucial source of health information for many parents due to its integration into modern life, raising critical concerns for public health. Parents use various social media platforms to find health information for their children, with most information created and shared by parents with no medical or health training. The extent to which parents seek health information from social media before and after a consultation and their motivations for doing so remain underresearched.

Objective/introduction: Ketamine is an opioid-alternative used for analgesia in the prehospital setting. There are knowledge gaps regarding its use during emergency medical services (EMS) encounters for pediatric patients. Our objective was to compare pain reduction, adverse events, and prehospital deaths between ketamine and opioids when used for analgesia administered by any route among pediatric patients.

Is self-advocacy universally achievable for patients? The experiences of Australian women with cardiac disease in pregnancy and postpartum.

Purpose: Patient self-advocacy is valued and promoted; however, it may not be readily accessible to all. This analysis examines the experiences of women in Australia who had cardiac disease in pregnancy or the first year postpartum through the lenses of self-advocacy and gender, specifically seeking to elaborate on the contexts, impacts, barriers, and women's responses to the barriers to self-advocacy.

Method: A qualitative study design was used.

Methods: A population-based observational study of all women who gave birth between 1994 and 2013 in New South Wales, Australia.

Prehospital Use of Ketamine versus Benzodiazepines for Sedation among Pediatric Patients with Behavioral Emergencies.

Introduction: Ketamine is an emerging alternative sedation agent for prehospital management of agitation, yet research is limited regarding its use for children. Our objective was to compare the effectiveness and safety of ketamine and benzodiazepines when used for emergent prehospital sedation of pediatric patients with behavioral emergencies.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 9-1-1 EMS records from the 2019-2020 ESO Data Collaborative research datasets.

Incidence and predictors of mortality among adolescents on antiretroviral therapy in Amhara Region, Ethiopia: a retrospective cohort analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence and predictors of mortality in adolescents receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Ethiopia's Amhara Region.

Design: We conducted an institution-based retrospective follow-up study.

Settings: The study was conducted at Amhara Region's comprehensive specialised hospitals in Ethiopia.

Quality of life and mental health of women who had cardiac disease in pregnancy and postpartum.

Purpose: Cardiac disease is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality yet there is limited research on women's experiences and quality of life (QoL) outcomes. The aim of this study is to explore the general and health-related QoL (HRQoL) and mental health outcomes for women who have experienced cardiac disease in pregnancy and the first 12 months postpartum (CDPP).

Methods: This exploratory descriptive study recruited 43 women with acquired, genetic and congenital CDPP.

MedNeRF: Medical Neural Radiance Fields for Reconstructing 3D-aware CT-Projections from a Single X-ray.

Computed tomography (CT) is an effective med-ical imaging modality, widely used in the field of clinical medicine for the diagnosis of various pathologies. Advances in Multidetector CT imaging technology have enabled additional functionalities, including generation of thin slice multi planar cross-sectional body imaging and 3D reconstructions. However, this involves patients being exposed to a considerable dose of ionising radiation.

Bayesian emulation and history matching of JUNE.

We analyze JUNE: a detailed model of COVID-19 transmission with high spatial and demographic resolution, developed as part of the RAMP initiative. JUNE requires substantial computational resources to evaluate, making model calibration and general uncertainty analysis extremely challenging. We describe and employ the uncertainty quantification approaches of Bayes linear emulation and history matching to mimic JUNE and to perform a global parameter search, hence identifying regions of parameter space that produce acceptable matches to observed data, and demonstrating the capability of such methods.

The proportion of loss to follow-up from antiretroviral therapy (ART) and its association with age among adolescents living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a global health threat, especially in developing countries. The successful scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART) programs to address this threat is hindered by a high proportion of patient loss to follow-up (LTFU). LTFU is associated with poor viral suppression and increased mortality.

Prehospital Ketamine Use in Pediatrics.

Information regarding prehospital ketamine use in the pediatric population is limited as existing literature focuses primarily on critical care and air transport. Our objective was to describe patient characteristics among pediatric EMS patients who received ketamine. Secondarily, we assessed effectiveness, deviation from recommended dosing, and adverse outcomes of pediatric EMS patients who received ketamine.

Respiratory pandemics, urban planning and design: A multidisciplinary rapid review of the literature.

COVID-19 is the most recent respiratory pandemic to necessitate better knowledge about city planning and design. The complex connections between cities and pandemics, however challenge traditional approaches to reviewing literature. In this article we adopted a rapid review methodology.

The healthcare experiences of women with cardiac disease in pregnancy and postpartum: A qualitative study.

Introduction: Cardiac disease affects an estimated 1%-4% of all pregnancies and is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. There is a lack of data on the healthcare experiences of affected women to inform health service delivery and person-centred care. This study sought to explore and understand the healthcare experiences of women with cardiac disease in pregnancy and postpartum.

Cardiac disease in pregnancy and the first year postpartum: a story of mental health, identity and connection.

Background: Women with cardiac disease in pregnancy and the first year postpartum often face uncertainty about their condition and the trajectory of their recovery. Cardiac disease is a leading cause of serious maternal morbidity and mortality, and the prevalence is increasing. Affected women are at risk of worsening cardiac disease, chronic illness, mental illness and trauma.

Parents' Use of Social Media as a Health Information Source for Their Children: A Scoping Review.

Background: Parents are increasingly using social media to inform health decisions for their children.

Objective: This scoping review examines 1) How do parents use social media to find health information for their children? 2) What motivates parents to engage with social media to seek health information for their children? 3) How do parents seek to understand and evaluate the health information they find on social media, and how does social media impact parental health information-seeking?

Methods: Scopus, CINAHL, Medline, PubMed, and Embase databases were searched, with open date parameters. Peer-reviewed studies that examined parents' and responsible caregivers' use of social media as a source of health information for their children (aged <18 years) were included.
