Introduction: Manual uterine aspiration is a potentially lifesaving procedure for treating patients with hemorrhagic complications of early pregnancy loss. While early pregnancy loss is a common diagnosis seen in the emergency department, manual uterine aspiration education is lacking for emergency medicine physicians.
Methods: We designed a 90-minute procedural skills training session for 30 emergency medicine learners.
Objectives: The authors propose simultaneous inhibition of Gβγ signaling in the heart and the adrenal gland as a novel therapeutic approach for heart failure (HF).
Background: Elevated sympathetic nervous system activity is a salient characteristic of HF progression. It causes pathologic desensitization of β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR), facilitated predominantly through Gβγ-mediated signaling.
