Prehosp Emerg Care
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University, Oregon Health and Science University, 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Rd Portland, OR 97239.
Objectives: Out-of-hospital births are associated with a 2-to 11-fold increased risk of death compared to in-hospital births and are growing. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) clinicians have limited exposure to hospital birth emergencies, and there is no standardized prehospital neonatal resuscitation curriculum. Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) guidelines are the standard of care for infants born in the United States but focuses on in-hospital births and is not easily applied to EMS.

Objectives: Sepsis is a time-sensitive condition, and many rural emergency department (ED) sepsis patients are transferred to tertiary hospitals. The objective of this study was to determine whether longer transport times during interhospital transfer are associated with higher sepsis mortality or increased hospital length-of-stay (LOS).
Methods: A cohort of rural adult (age ≥ 18y) sepsis patients transferred between hospitals were identified in the TELEmedicine as a Virtual Intervention for Sepsis Care in Emergency Departments (TELEVISED) parent study.
Alzheimers Dement

Background: Remote diagnostic assessment of cognitively impaired individuals offers numerous potential benefits including increased access to care. However, remote cognitive and behavioral assessment also has limitations, and may not be appropriate for certain patients. Currently, evidence-based guidance on virtual assessment readiness is lacking.

Background: Increasing prevalence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and limited pharmacological intervention benefits to decelerate early neurodegeneration have prompted exploration of non-pharmacological options. Recent studies indicate that combining cognitive-motor training enhances outcomes.
Methods: In a single-blind, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial of middle-aged adults with a parental history of AD, the experimental group (N = 22) underwent training with newly developed "real-world" intensive, progressive, virtual reality (VR) tasks, while walking on a treadmill.
Background: The Impact of Intensive Treatment of Systolic Blood Pressure on Brain Perfusion, Amyloid and Tau in Older Adults (IPAT) is an ongoing randomized control trial (RCT) for prevention of Alzheimer's disease (AD) (NCT05331144). The primary outcome of the trial is to assess the impact of intensive lowering of high systolic blood pressure (SBP) on the accumulation of brain amyloid in older adults for a study duration of 2 years. Study recruitment started on October 25 of 2022 and will end in September of 2025.
