A national study of in-hospital preparedness for Mass Casualty Incidents and disasters.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg
January 2025
Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Purpose: The current geopolitical situation and climate changes accentuate the importance of health preparedness. The aim was to examine the in-hospital preparedness for Mass Casualty Incidents (MCI) and Major Incidents (MI) on a national level.
Method: A web-based, cross-sectional study of in-hospital preparedness for MCI/MI in Norway.
PHA Microplastic Aging Decreases NO Sink Capacity: Released γ-Butyrolactone Decouples Denitrifying Electron Transfer and Oxidative Phosphorylation.

Bacterial denitrification is a main pathway for soil NO sinks, which is crucial for assessing and controlling NO emissions. Biobased polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) microplastic particles (MPs) degrade slowly in conventional environments, remaining inert for extended periods. However, the impacts of PHA microplastic aging on the bacterial NO sink capacity before degradation remain poorly understood.

Background: On 16 January 2021 (EB148/18 Session), the World Health Organization (WHO) and Member States emphasized the importance of expanding the WHO Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) Initiative, investing in a global health workforce and multidisciplinary teams capable of being rapidly deployed, equipped, and fully trained to respond to all-hazard emergencies effectively. This resulted in the need to define a comprehensive framework. To achieve this, the EMT Initiative proposes the application of the four components of Surge Capacity, known as the 4"S" (Staff, Systems, Supplies, and Structure/Space), to build global capacities and capabilities, ensuring rapid mobilization and efficient coordination of national and international medical teams for readiness and response, complying with crisis standards of care defined in an ethical and evidence-based manner.

Article Synopsis
- CRAFT is a fusion technology facility in China focused on developing and validating fusion technology through methods like neutral beam injection.
- A new negative ion based neutral beam injector is being created with a beam energy of 400 keV, utilizing a core snubber for surge suppression in its power supply system.
- The design of the core snubber involves careful consideration of transmission line characteristics, and initial testing shows it effectively suppresses peak ignition current and oscillation.
Fight or Flight: Emergency Health Care Workers' Willingness to Work during Crises and Disasters. A Cross-Sectional Multicenter Study in the Netherlands.

Centre for Research and Education in Emergency Care, University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium; REGEDIM, Free University Brussels, Brussels, Belgium; Department of Emergency Medicine, ZNA Camp Stuivenberg, Antwerp, Belgium.
Objective: Expanding staff levels is a strategy for hospitals to increase their surge capacity. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether emergency health care workers (HCWs) are willing to work during crises or disasters, and which working conditions influence their decisions.
Methods: HCWs in the emergency departments (EDs) and intensive care units (ICUs) of 5 Dutch hospitals were surveyed about various disaster scenarios.
