Intention to use digital mental health solutions: A cross-sectional survey of university students attitudes and perceptions toward online therapy, mental health apps, and chatbots.

Background: Globally, the high prevalence of mental disorders among university students is a growing public health problem, yet a small minority of students with mental health problems receive treatment. Digital mental health solutions could bridge treatment gaps and overcome many barriers students face accessing treatment. However, there is scant evidence, especially in South Africa (SA), relating to university students' use of and intention to use digital mental health solutions or their attitudes towards these technologies.

Moment arms of the coracobrachialis and short head of biceps following a Latarjet procedure: a modeling study.

Background: The Latarjet procedure transfers the coracoid process to the anterior glenoid. This prevents recurrent anterior humeral dislocation but alters the origins of the coracobrachialis (CBR) and short head of the biceps (SHB). The impact of this alteration on the moment arms of these muscles has not been examined.

Surgical management of distal humerus gunshot fractures: descriptive case series.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report our 5 years surgical experience and the rate of neurovascular injury following gunshot fractures of the distal humerus in a in level-1 Trauma Centre in South Africa.

Methods: A retrospective case series of 25 consecutive adult gunshot injuries to the distal humerus. Demographic and injury data were extracted from clinical case notes and electronic operative records.

Evaluation of an Intensive Care Outreach Nurse Program in 4 UAE Hospitals.

Background: Intensive care outreach nurses (ICONs) can reduce deterioration and death of patients in hospitals.

Purpose: Evaluate outcomes associated with implementation of the ICON role across 4 UAE hospitals.

Methods: Trend analyses and χ 2 tests were used to measure changes before ICON program, during ICON year 1, ICON year 2, when the service coverage extended 24/7, and until the end of 2019.

Continuous pulse oximetry during skin-to-skin care: An Australian initiative to prevent sudden unexpected postnatal collapse.

Aim: To examine the use of continuous pulse oximetry monitoring (CPOM) of newborns as a non-invasive and non-intrusive standard of care for promoting early and safe skin-to-skin contact between mothers and newborns immediately after birth and to gather acceptability feedback from midwifery staff and mothers.

Methods: All babies receiving skin-to-skin contact (SSC) had continuous pulse oximetry monitoring (CPOM) for the first-hour postbirth. Staff were trained with education sessions before implementation.

Staff's Perception of the Intensive Care Outreach Nurse Role: A Multisite Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Rapid Response Systems are emerging internationally to provide a patient-focused approach to prevent potentially avoidable deaths and serious adverse events.

Local Problem: This study focused on ward nurses in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government hospitals who were perceived to lack the confidence and knowledge to detect and/or respond to deteriorating patients.

Method: A cross-sectional study design was used to evaluate the Intensive Care Outreach Nurse (ICON) role from the perspectives of the ICONs, their managers/educators, and ward-based physicians and nurses.

Exertional hypoxemia is more severe in fibrotic interstitial lung disease than in COPD.

Background And Objective: Despite its clinical and prognostic significance, few studies have evaluated the severity of exertional oxygen desaturation in fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). Our objectives were to identify clinical and physiological variables that predict the extent of exertional oxygen desaturation in fibrotic ILD and to quantify the severity of desaturation compared to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods: This retrospective study compared the results of 6-min walk test (6MWT) performed while breathing room air in fibrotic ILD patients and COPD patients eligible for pulmonary rehabilitation.

Amniotic Band Syndrome With Pseudoarthrosis of Tibia and Fibula: A Case Report.

Constriction of the lower limb by a congenital amniotic band has been proposed to explain the development of pseudoarthrosis of the tibia and fibula. We report a case of amniotic band syndrome in a preterm female infant with pseudoarthrosis of the tibia and fibula. She was born at 29 weeks of gestation with congenital amniotic bands and was noted to have a severely edematous left foot distal to the constricting band with rudimentary digits.

Emergency use of a size 1 laryngeal mask airway in a ventilated neonate with an undiagnosed type IV laryngotracheo-oesophageal cleft.

The perioperative management of a neonate with a type IV laryngotracheo-oesophageal cleft and exomphalos major is described. Following an otherwise uncomplicated exomphalos repair, this baby became increasingly and inexplicably difficult to ventilate through an endotracheal tube. The emergency use of a laryngeal mask airway as a rescue maneuver allowed positive pressure ventilation, and subsequent diagnosis of the airway abnormality.
