Aim: To gain insight into health practitioners' understanding of how people experience the first trimester abortion journey.
Methods: Qualitative interviews informed by phenomenology with health practitioners from a range of practice settings across Aotearoa New Zealand. Participants were recruited via a separate but related study.
Importance: Despite the recovery advantages of minimally invasive surgical techniques, delayed return of gut function after colectomy is a common barrier to timely discharge from hospital.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of 2% perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion on return of gut function after elective minimally invasive colon resection.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The ALLEGRO trial was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial conducted in 27 UK hospitals.
The Impella CP is a percutaneously inserted temporary left ventricular assist device used in clinical practice and in translational research into cardiogenic shock, perioperative cardiac surgery, acute cardiac failure and mechanical circulatory support. Fluoroscopic guidance is usually used for insertion of an Impella, thus limiting insertion to within catheterization laboratories. Transthoracic, transoesophageal and intracardiac echocardiography have been reported to guide Impella CP implantation with identified specific limitations stemming from the surgical, anatomical and equipment factors.

- - Preclinical studies show that human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (PSC-CMs) can help repair injured hearts, with multiple clinical trials underway.
- - Ventricular arrhythmias (EAs) can occur after injecting PSC-CMs into the heart, linked to cellular diversity within the transplanted cells, particularly arrhythmogenic subpopulations like atrial and pacemaker-like cardiomyocytes.
- - Identifying specific surface markers may help differentiate risky PSC-CMs from safer ones, and both drug treatments and other interventions can help manage or eliminate these arrhythmias in the experimental model used.
Aims: To explore knowledge and attitudes of medical students before and after exposure to a technology-enhanced learning and teaching (TELT) session about electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
Background: Adequate knowledge of and attitudes toward ECT is essential for medical students. However, the impact of teaching on knowledge and attitudes is infrequently studied.
