We describe our efforts to switch from free-text documentation of a difficult airway in the patient allergy list to a field-defined entry prominently displayed in the electronic record. A survey of relevant physicians' preferred methods of documentation will facilitate clinically useful methods of alerting providers to critical conditions in their patients.

Background , once benign intestinal flora, has transformed into formidable nosocomial pathogens as a result of the accelerated emergence of antibiotic resistance represents a major global health challenge, particularly within hospital settings. has grown more prevalent in nosocomial infections, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), surgical site infections (SSIs) and bacteremia. The potential emergence of vancomycin-resistant (VRE) strains further complicates treatment choices for multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections.

Background: High-grade resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in East and Southern Africa has prompted numerous trials evaluating intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine as an alternative to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine.
Methods: We conducted individual participant data meta-analyses of randomised trials comparing IPTp with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine on maternal, birth, and infant outcomes. We searched the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, ClinicalTrials.
"Room of Horrors": A Proof-of-Concept Simulation Model for Error Reduction Training in the Emergency Department.
Pediatr Emerg Care
December 2024
From the Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital, affiliated to the Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University.
Objective: This pilot study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a "room of horrors" (RoH) simulation in identifying patient safety threats in a pediatric emergency department (PED) and to evaluate health care workers' (HCWs') perceptions of the experience.
Methods: We developed an RoH simulation featuring 25 potential safety hazards derived from actual PED incidents and "never events." The teams of physicians and nurses who participated in the simulation identified as many hazards as they could within a 10-minute window followed by a debriefing session during which errors were corrected and missed hazards were pointed out.
Forage, freedom of movement, and social interactions remain essential fundamentals for the welfare of high-level sport horses.

Article Synopsis
- Societal concerns about animal welfare now include high-level sport horses, especially highlighted during recent Olympics, leading to public inquiries about their living conditions.
- Animal welfare studies emphasize the "3Fs" for equine welfare: access to forage, freedom of movement, and social interactions, but the challenges for sport horses in meeting these needs are not well understood.
- A field study assessing 56 high-level sport horses found significant variability in access to the "3Fs," showing that those with fewer restrictions had better welfare outcomes.

Context: Poor medication management can lead to adverse outcomes for transplant patients, including acute rejection and graft loss. In recent years, mobile applications have been proposed as innovative tools to improve patient treatment management.
Objective: This review aimed to systematically evaluate the available research evidence on the relationship between mobile applications and treatment management in transplant patients.
