Advanced clinical practitioners' inter-shift need for recovery: a cross-sectional survey in emergency medicine.

Background: Healthcare settings are high-risk environments for fatigue and staff burnout. The Need For Recovery (NFR) scale quantifies inter-shift recovery, which contributes to cumulative fatigue and may precede occupational burnout. Advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) are an established feature of the emergency medicine workforce in the UK, however, little is known about factors affecting their inter-shift recovery, fatigue or how NFR correlates with formal burnout inventories.

Men's experiences of having a partner who requires Mother and Baby Unit admission for first episode postpartum psychosis.

Aims: The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of men during their partner's admission to a Mother and Baby Unit for first episode postpartum psychosis.

Background: Postpartum psychosis can be life-changing for women, however little is known about the impact on their partners or their partners' needs.

Design: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis approach was used to analyse interview transcripts.

Perceived incivility during emergency department phone consultations.

Objective: Perceived incivility during ED medical phone consultations is poorly researched. We aimed to determine frequency and factors influencing perceived incivility during ED phone consultations.

Methods: We conducted a prospective self-reported survey of 40 consecutive phone consultations for 21 ED volunteer doctors.

Prospective evaluation of selected clinical criteria for cranial computed tomography in non-trauma adult patients.

Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of previously published criteria by Rothrock et al. and Harris et al. for urgent, cranial CT in non-trauma presentations.

Effect of fuel and lube oil sulfur on the performance of a diesel exhaust gas continuously regenerating trap.

The continuously regenerating trap (CRT) is a diesel exhaust emission control that removes nearly all diesel particulate matter on a mass basis, but under some circumstances oxidation of sulfur leads to the formation of nanoparticles. The objective of the four year study was to determine CRT performance under controlled, real-world, on-road conditions, and to develop quantitative relationships between fuel and lubrication oil sulfur concentration and particle number exhaust emissions. It was shown that nanoparticle emissions are minimized by the use of ultralow sulfur fuels and specially formulated low sulfur lubrication oil.
