Background: An out-of-hospital cardiac arrest requires early recognition, prompt and quality clinical interventions, and coordination between different clinicians to improve outcomes. Clinical team leaders and clinical teams have high levels of cognitive burden. We aimed to investigate the effect of a dedicated Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Quality Officer role on team performance.

- The rise in microbial genome sequences has led to resistance gene-guided genome mining, a method used to discover natural products with specific bioactivities.
- Researchers identified roseopurpurins as strong inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which are linked to various cancers, through this innovative approach.
- Their work involved disrupting genes and expressing a biosynthetic gene cluster that confirmed roseopurpurin C's production, finding it effectively inhibits human CDK2 with a potency of 44 nM and leads to G1 cell cycle arrest in cancer cells.
Management of gestational supraventricular tachycardia with a 'modified' modified Valsalva manoeuvre.
Int Emerg Nurs
September 2022
A 36 year old woman with chest pain and palpitations at 34 weeks gestation (gravidity 2, parity 1) presented to the emergency department where she was found to be in supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). This patient had an earlier episode of SVT during the same pregnancy that was managed with intravenous adenosine. During both presentations a REVERT trial style 'modified' Valsalva manoeuvre (including supine positioning with passive leg raise) was attempted without success.

Methods: We undertook a qualitative exploratory study with ED clinicians (medical officers, nurses and physiotherapists) at a tertiary-level public hospital in New South Wales, Australia, using focus groups and individual interviews. We used thematic analysis to synthesise participant responses to answer the predefined research questions.
Aim: Studies reporting factors associated with paediatric/adolescent acute behavioural disturbance (ABD) in the Emergency Department (ED) are lacking. The aim of this study is to describe paediatric/adolescent ED presentations involving ABD events.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of presentations involving ABD events, identified via hospital security log, to a tertiary referral paediatric ED during the 2017 calendar year.
