In October 2004 a request was made to the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine to support a pilot project for a leading Midlands medical school. The aim of the project was to standardize clinical skills training for medical students prior to House Officer jobs. Experienced military emergency nurses provided clinical training including cannulation, catheterization and phlebotomy in a simulated environment. All fifth year medical students attending clinical skills training were invited to complete post-training evaluation questionnaires. The project was evaluated positively and there was an excellent response to nurses training doctors. There was a statistically significant improvement in post-training confidence. All medical students passed their practical assessment following the training programme. This pilot project has been highly successful and has subsequently been extended to all fifth year students at the medical school. The range of clinical skills taught by nurses has also been widened.

Optimal timing for epinephrine administration in adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A retrospective observational study.
Acad Emerg Med
January 2025
Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, Saitama, Japan.
Background: This study aimed to clarify the appropriate timing for epinephrine administration in adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), particularly those cases with nonshockable rhythms, by addressing resuscitation time bias.
Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study utilizing a multicenter OHCA registry involving 95 hospitals in Japan between June 2014 and December 2020. We included patients with OHCA and nonshockable rhythms who received epinephrine during resuscitation.

Ward-delivered nasal high-flow oxygen and non-invasive ventilation are safe for people with acute respiratory failure: a cohort study.
Intern Med J
January 2025
Department of Respiratory Medicine, The Alfred Health, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Background And Aims: Ward-delivered non-invasive respiratory supports (NIRS) (conventional oxygen therapy (COT), high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV)), are often used to treat hospitalised patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) both in high acuity and general wards. This study aimed to describe the processes of care adopted and examine patient outcomes from a specialist, ward-delivered NIRS service caring for people with COVID-19 in general wards or in a respiratory care unit (RCU).
Methods: A cohort study was undertaken including all consecutive patients admitted to a quaternary hospital with ARF secondary to COVID-19 and requiring ward-delivered NIRS between 28 February 2020 and 18 March 2022.
Physical and neurophysiological maturation associated with ADHD among previously institutionalized children: a randomized controlled trial.
J Child Psychol Psychiatry
January 2025
Division of Developmental Medicine, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental outcome among children with a history of early institutional care. Prior research on institutionalized children suggested that accelerated physical growth in childhood is a risk factor for ADHD outcomes.
Methods: The current study examined physical and neurophysiological growth trajectories among institutionalized children randomized to foster care treatment (n = 59) or care as usual (n = 54), and never institutionalized children (n = 64) enrolled in the Bucharest Early Intervention Project (NCT00747396, clinicaltrials.
Proposal and exploration of a novel score to quantify patient-perceived burden of inflammatory bowel disease under routine care.
Intern Med J
January 2025
Crohn's Colitis Cure, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Background: The burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is often reported on from a system or cost viewpoint. We created and explored a novel patient-perceived burden of disease (PPBoD) score in a large Australasian cohort.
Aim: To create and explore a novel patient-perceived burden of disease (PPBoD) score in a large Australasian cohort, and correlate PPBoD scores with demographics, disease and treatment factors.
