Family concerns in organ donor conversations: a qualitative embedded multiple-case study.
Crit Care
December 2024
Ethics of Healthcare Group, Department of IQ Health, Radboud University Medical Center, PO Box 9101, 6500 HB, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Background: Listening and responding to family concerns in organ and tissue donation is generally considered important, but has never been researched in real time. We aimed to explore in real time, (a) which family concerns emerge in the donation process, (b) how these concerns manifest during and after the donor conversation, and (c) how clinicians respond to the concerns during the donor conversation.
Methods: A qualitative embedded multiple-case study in eight Dutch hospitals was conducted.
Fatal Tension Gastrothorax: Two Case Reports.

From the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.
Tension gastrothorax is a rare and potentially fatal complication of a diaphragmatic hernia, in which a massively dilated, intrathoracic stomach compresses the lungs and mediastinum, causing cardiorespiratory compromise, in a mechanism akin to tension pneumothorax. Although it is very rare, tension gastrothorax has been reported in the literature; however, such reports are almost exclusively restricted to its clinical presentation and treatment in emergency departments. To the best of our knowledge, no adult autopsy case reports of tension gastrothorax have been reported in the literature.

Introduction: Women who receive a result of an abnormal Papanicolaou (Pap) smear can fail to participate in follow up procedures, and this is often due to anxiety. This study aimed to apply artificial neural networks (ANN) in prediction of anxiety in women with an abnormal Pap smear test, prior to and following diagnostic procedures.
Methods: One hundred-seventy two women who received an abnormal Pap screening result took part in this study, completing a questionnaire about socio-demographic characteristics and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), right before and two to four weeks after diagnostics (i.
A technological solution to child safety seat errors: Efficacy of the cellular car seat.

Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Objective: Although child safety seats are highly effective in preventing injuries, they are frequently misused. Experts have identified two leading "critical misuses": (1) loose harness straps and (2) loose vehicle attachment at the base. We designed an innovative child safety seat system that educates, instructs, and alarms participants of safety seat errors.
