The employee impact and attitude analysis for GHS implementation in Taiwan was investigated in this study. An impact assessment on the new regulations or changes in regulations for government, potential costs, benefits, and the global trade in chemicals to industries and hazard communication program for workers was studied by the methods of the questionnaire design and Delphi expert method. A survey was conducted using questionnaires and taking 200 experts from government's expert database and 500 selected respondents from case company. Results from present study revealed that the barrier associated with GHS implementation is existed; it is feasible to overcome. Both experts and employees think that business entities are insufficient to test and classify chemicals on their own, and the technical guidance from the government is needed. Data analyzed by the logistic regression revealed that more hours an employee spends on education and trainings of new GHS systems; the employee thinks implementation of GHS will improve hazard awareness for transporters. The weak labeling ability affects deployment of the new GHS system.

Article Synopsis
- In Ghana, schistosomiasis (SCH) and soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are significant public health issues affecting children, despite intervention efforts by the Ghana Health Service and NGOs to control these diseases.
- The study explored the challenges faced in delivering mass drug administration (MDA) to hard-to-reach communities, gathering insights through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews.
- Key findings revealed that while there was a general willingness to participate in MDA, barriers such as a lack of community drug distributors, poor communication about MDA processes, and fears regarding medication side effects hindered the program's effectiveness.

Medical Education, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, Scranton, USA.
Background Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) is an imaging modality with many inherent benefits, such as increased patient satisfaction, cost savings, and elimination of delays in diagnosis. The popularity of this bedside imaging technique has increased in recent years, and its scope of use for diagnostics and procedures has expanded in many specialties. Research question Can increased implementation of PoCUS within the Geisinger Health System (GHS) reduce the need for other more expensive, time-consuming, and potentially harmful imaging techniques? Methods Investigations were carried out on the uses of PoCUS established in the literature as a bedside diagnostic tool for specific pathologies such as pneumonia, nephrolithiasis, and various fractures.
