Parental perspectives on pediatric inflammatory bowel disease: Unraveling concerns, and study participation willingness.

Objectives: The impact of disease burden extends beyond pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients to include their parents. Previous studies, predating the biologic era, have highlighted parental concerns about potential side effects associated with IBD medications. However, there is a notable gap in the literature regarding parents' perceptions of clinical studies involving pediatric IBD patients.

Fever response to ibuprofen in viral and bacterial childhood infections.

Objective: to compare the antipyretic effects of ibuprofen in febrile children with serious bacterial infections (SBI), and children with a presumed viral infection.

Methods: A prospective cross- sectional study was conducted in a pediatric Emergency department between October 2018 and March 2020 for children aged 3 months to 4 years with a rectal temperature ≥ 38.5 °C.

Intubation using the gum-elastic bougie while wearing personal protective equipment.

Objective: To determine whether application of a gum-elastic bougie (GEB), a visual stylet used to improve success rates of difficult intubations, reduces the time, and number of attempts to achieve successful intubation while wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).

Design: A randomized cross-over study comparing orotracheal intubations performed on an AirMan® Mannequin, using either a semirigid stylet or a GEB, while wearing an active hood with a charcoal impregnated suit and butyl rubber gloves.

Setting: Simulation training field of the Israel Defense Force Medical Corps.

Management of sexually transmissible infections in the era of multiplexed molecular diagnostics: a primary care survey.

Unlabelled: Background Data regarding sexually transmissible infections (STI) often originate from STI clinics, screening programs or laboratory-based studies, thus are biased for specific risk groups or lack clinical details. This real-life observational study presents sample data of most young adult Israeli population by exploiting the centralised diagnostic and documentation platforms resulting from a mandatory military service at the age of 18 years for both genders.

Methods: All STI diagnoses of Israeli Defence Forces soldiers during a 6-month period were reviewed.

Resveratrol fails to provide prophylactic protection in a rat model of organophosphate poisoning.

Background: Paraoxonase-1, an organophosphorous-hydrolyzing enzyme, was shown to provide protection against organophosphates poisoning in vivo. In vitro findings suggest that the phytoalexin resveratrol can elevate paraoxonase-1 levels and thus may provide protection against organophosphate poisoning. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of prolonged resveratrol intake on paraoxonase-1 levels in rats, and its role as a potential prophylactic treatment in organophosphate poisoning.

Using the skin protective lotion IB1 as a substitute for chemical protective gloves.

We aimed to evaluate the performance of medical personnel in using the IB1 topical protective lotion on their hands and wrists together with standard disposable medical gloves, compared to standard-issued medical chemical protective gloves. This randomized cross-over study included 144 medical personnel. Primary endpoints were time-to-completion of autoinjection; success rate, number of attempts, and time-to-achieve successful endotracheal intubation; time-to-achieve satisfactory tube fixation; time-to-draw and inject the content of an ampoule; and the total time-to-perform all medical procedures.

Airway control in case of a mass toxicological event: superiority of second-generation supraglottic airway devices.

Introduction: Early respiratory support and airway (AW) control with endotracheal intubation (ETI) are crucial in mass toxicology events and must be performed while wearing chemical personal protective equipment (C-PPE).

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of AW control by using second-generation supraglottic AW devices (SADs) as compared with ETI and first-generation SAD while wearing C-PPE.

Methods: This is a randomized crossover trial involving 117 medical practitioners.

Lessons learned from the Syrian sarin attack: evaluation of a clinical syndrome through social media.

On the night of 21 August 2013, sarin was dispersed in the eastern outskirts of Damascus, killing 1400 civilians and severely affecting thousands more. This article aims to delineate the clinical presentation and management of a mass casualty event caused by a nerve agent as shown in the social media.
