The design and construct a website for collection and report diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in diagnostic radiography.

Background: The preparation of reports and calculation of dose reference levels (DRLs) for general x-ray radiography are valuable tools for determining appropriate radiation dosage. However, the systematic collection of dose-area product (DAP) dose data can be challenging, and calculating entrance surface air kerma (ESAK)values requires precision and careful calculations.

Objective: The aim of this study was to design and implement a website for the collection of DAP values, calculation of ESAK values, and reporting of DRLs from general diagnostic radiographs.

Using Sodium Bicarbonate During Prolonged Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Prehospital Setting; a Retrospective Cross-sectional Study.

Introduction: Although the 2020 American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines recommend that sodium bicarbonate (SB) be avoided during routine cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) a limited number of studies have examined the effects of SB injection during prolonged CPR (>15 min) in prehospital setting. The present study aimed to examine the effects of prehospital SB use during prolonged CPR on patients' outcome.

Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study adult patients aged >18 years who experienced a non-traumatic, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) were compared regarding three outcomes, namely return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), ROSC > 20 minute, and survival to discharge, based on receiving or not-receiving SB during CPR.
