AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Birth at home is a safe and appropriate choice for healthy women with a low risk pregnancy. However there is a small risk of emergencies requiring immediate, skilled management to optimise maternal and neonatal outcomes. We developed and implemented a simulation workshop designed to run in a home based setting to assist with emergency training for midwives and paramedical staff. The workshop was evaluated by assessing participants' satisfaction and response to key learning issues.
Methods: Midwifery and emergency paramedical staff attending home births participated in a simulation workshop where they were required to manage birth emergencies in real time with limited availability of resources to suit the setting. They completed a pre-test and post-test evaluation form exploring the content and utility of the workshops. Content analysis was performed on qualitative data regarding the most important learning from the simulation activity.
Results: A total of 73 participants attended the workshop (midwifery=46, and paramedical=27). There were 110 comments, made by 49 participants. The most frequently identified key learning elements were related to communication (among midwives, paramedical and hospital staff and with the woman's partner), followed by recognising the role of other health care professionals, developing an understanding of the process and the importance of planning ahead.
Conclusion: Home birth simulation workshop was found to be a useful tool by staff that provide care to women who are having a planned home birth. Developing clear communication and teamwork were found to be the key learning principles guiding their practice.

Free energy perturbation (FEP)-based absolute binding free energy (ABFE) calculations have emerged as a powerful tool for the accurate prediction of ligand-protein binding affinities in drug discovery. The restraint addition is crucial in FEP-ABFE calculations; however, due to the non-orthogonal couplings between the restrained degrees of freedom, it typically requires numerous λ windows to ensure the phase-space overlap during restraint addition. This study introduces the RED-E-function-based equilibrium parameter finder (REPF), a novel method that relies on harmonic restraints to optimize the equilibrium values in restraints, enhancing phase-space overlap and improving the convergence of the restraint addition.

Ice formation from water vapor is a common phenomenon with significant implications for both natural ice formation and industrial processes. However, there remains controversy over how deposition frequency and substrate temperature affect the structural forms of deposition products and their formation processes. In this study, we employed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the deposition process of water vapor onto a cold Au(001) substrate at different temperatures and deposition frequencies.

To develop and validate a high-fidelity, nonbiohazardous simulator model for the ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedure. We employed a systematic framework based on Delphi consensus and modern education theory to design a simulation model. Twelve expert surgeons provided input through a hierarchal task analysis and identified procedural tasks, anatomical landmarks, and potential errors.

Multi-target strategy can serve as a valid treatment for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), but existing drugs most focus on a single target. Thus, multi-target drugs that bind multiple sites simultaneously need to be urgently studied. Apigenin has antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.
