Background: For women at low risk of complications during labour and birth, in the United Kingdom, planned birth in a 'community' setting (at home or a freestanding midwifery unit) is generally safe, and intrapartum emergencies are uncommon. Limited exposure may affect midwives' experience of managing an emergency.

Aim: Identify and synthesise available evidence about midwives' experiences of managing intrapartum emergencies during labour in a community setting.

Remote epitaxy and exfoliation of vanadium dioxide via sub-nanometer thick amorphous interlayer.

Nat Commun

January 2025

Department of Materials Science & International Institute of Intelligent Nanorobots and Nanosystems, State Key Laboratory of Surface Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200438, People's Republic of China.

The recently emerged remote epitaxy technique, utilizing 2D materials (mostly graphene) as interlayers between the epilayer and the substrate, enables the exfoliation of crystalline nanomembranes from the substrate, expanding the range of potential device applications. However, remote epitaxy has been so far applied to a limited range of material systems, owing to the need of stringent growth conditions to avoid graphene damaging, and has therefore remained challenging for the synthesis of oxide nanomembranes. Here, we demonstrate the remote epitaxial growth of an oxide nanomembrane (vanadium dioxide, VO) with a sub-nanometer thick amorphous interlayer, which can withstand potential sputtering-induced damage and oxidation.

Objectives: Delayed diagnosis of acute appendicitis in children may result in complex appendicitis with appendiceal perforation. Delayed diagnosis can result from missed opportunity for initial diagnosis (MOID) despite medical attention. Studies report MOID of less than 5% in pediatric emergency departments (EDs), but we hypothesized that many MOID occurs outside tertiary care facilities.

Advancing Membrane Biology: Single-Molecule Approaches Meet Model Membrane Systems.

BMB Rep

December 2024

Department of Physics, POSTECH, Pohang, Republic of Korea.

Model membrane systems have emerged as essential platforms for investigating membrane-associated processes in controlled environments, mimicking biological membranes without the complexity of cellular systems. However, integrating these model systems with single-molecule techniques remains challenging due to the fluidity of lipid membranes, including undulations and the lateral mobility of lipids and proteins. This mini-review explores the evolution of various model membranes ranging from black lipid membranes to nanodiscs and giant unilamellar vesicles as they adapt to accommodate electrophysiology, force spectroscopy, and fluorescence microscopy.

Importance: Higher pediatric readiness has been associated with improved quality and outcomes of care for children. Pediatric emergency care coordinators (PECCs) are a component of pediatric readiness, but the specific association between PECCs and quality-of-care measures is undefined.

Objective: To examine the association between PECC presence and emergency department (ED) performance as reflected by quality-of-care measures.
