Article Synopsis
- Individuals with a restrictive spirometric pattern have higher rates of obesity and cardiovascular risk factors compared to those with normal lung function.
- Elevated cardiac troponin levels were found to be more common in individuals with restrictive lung function, independently increasing their risk of mortality.
- A significant finding is that higher cardiac troponin levels strongly predict death in those with a restrictive spirometric pattern, highlighting a potential health risk.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the wrist stabilizing effects and mechanical properties of four different materials used for wrist splints, including plaster of Paris (PoP), Woodcast, X-lite, and a 3D-printed polypropylene material.
- - Using cadaveric arm specimens, researchers tested how well each splint material resisted wrist flexion and extension under a controlled load, and they also conducted a bending test on samples of each material.
- - Results showed that PoP provided superior wrist stability and stiffness compared to the other materials, suggesting it may be the best option for wrist immobilization despite new alternatives like 3D printing.
Background: The use of information communication technologies such as telemedicine has increased over the years, offering access to specialized healthcare even in remote locations. However, telemedicine in interprofessional team training is seldom included in medical or nursing programs, and little is known about how to practise these scenarios. This study aimed to explore how medical and nursing students experience teamwork when one team member is participating remotely and digitally.
