Introduction: While many studies have been published on Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia in the Emergency Department (ED), there has been no previous study assessing the current state of the literature based in the form of a scoping review.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current state of the literature on UGRA performed in the ED setting.
Methods: EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies.
Article Synopsis
- Addressing religious and spiritual (R/S) needs in healthcare has been shown to enhance patient satisfaction.
- A study involving 195 inpatients in Toledo, OH found that patients without a religious identity were less likely to discuss R/S needs but still expressed a desire for healthcare providers to initiate these conversations.
- The data indicates that nonreligious patients often feel assumptions of negativity from hospital staff, highlighting the need for sensitivity to R/S needs regardless of a patient's belief system.
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) regulates osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation, and is the molecular target of thiazolidinediones (TZDs), insulin sensitizers that enhance glucose utilization and adipocyte differentiation. However, clinical use of TZDs has been limited by side effects including a higher risk of fractures and bone loss. Here we demonstrate that the same post-translational modifications at S112 and S273, which influence PPARγ pro-adipocytic and insulin sensitizing activities, also determine PPARγ osteoblastic (pS112) and osteoclastic (pS273) activities.
