Due to an increasing number of severe complications reported during the prehospital application of laryngeal tubes, the Austrian Society for Anesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Care Medicine (ÖGARI) is prompted to formulate a respective statement. With regard to the current training situation and the applicable laws, ÖGARI recommends to convert the "Emergency Competence for Endotracheal Intubation (NKI)" for emergency paramedics into an "Emergency Competence for Extraglottic Airway Management, (NK-EGA)". Training should include at least 40 h of theoretical instruction, hands-on training on the manikin to secure mastery of the methodology and at least 20 successful applications under clinically elective conditions in adult patients under direct medical supervision. Here, depending on local conditions, both laryngeal mask and laryngeal tube can be used. In the prehospital environment, the device must be used which has been trained as mentioned above. Only 2nd generation EGA should be used. After successful EGA placement timely cuff pressure monitoring and gastric suction should be performed. The use of an EGA by ambulance-men cannot be recommended; these have to be limited to bag-mask ventilation.

Changes and continuities in gambling careers during the COVID-19 pandemic: a longitudinal qualitative study of regular sports bettors in Britain.
BMC Public Health
January 2025
Institute for Social Marketing and Health, University of Stirling, Stirling, Scotland.
Background: To explore continuities and changes in gambling behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic and the factors that influenced these among a sample of regular sports bettors.
Methods: A longitudinal qualitative study using in-depth interviews. Sixteen sports bettors living in Britain took part in the first interviews in July-November 2020, and 13 in the follow-up interviews in March-September 2021.
Unravelling the Epitaxial Growth Mechanism of Hexagonal and Nanoporous Boron Nitride: A First-Principles Microkinetic Model.
Small
January 2025
School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, University of Surrey, GU2 7XH, Guildford, UK.
Article Synopsis
- The study uses density functional theory and microkinetic modeling to analyze the growth of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on a ruthenium surface, focusing on the process of chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
- Four main stages of the growth process are detailed: adsorption and deprotonation of borazine, dimerization, stabilization of larger borazine polymers, and the formation of nanoporous intermediates.
- Findings highlight the importance of the deprotonation sequence in nanostructure formation and provide insights for producing high-quality hBN monolayers, aligning well with experimental data for temperature variations and precursor exposure.
BLOOD PROTEOMICS AND MULTIMODAL RISK PROFILING of human volunteers after incision injury: a translational study for advancing Personalized Pain Management After Surgery.
Pharmacol Res
January 2025
Department of Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care and Pain Medicine, University Hospital Muenster, Albert-Schweitzer-Campus 1, 44651 Muenster, Germany. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- A significant number of patients experience chronic pain after surgery, highlighting the urgent need for predictive models that consider bio-psycho-social and physiological factors.
- A study involving male volunteers assessed pain characteristics, psychological factors, and blood proteomics before and after an experimental incision to predict outcomes related to pain intensity and hyperalgesia.
- The results revealed that a combination of diverse parameters could predict pain responses more accurately than single features, identified specific protein signatures associated with inflammation, and suggested repurposing existing medications for better pain management.

Behind the scenes of EQA-characteristics, capabilities, benefits and assets of external quality assessment (EQA).

The main stakeholders in external quality assessment (EQA) programs are the participants, in whose interests these challenges are ultimately organised. EQA schemes in the medical field contribute to improving the quality of patient care by evaluating the analytical and diagnostic quality of laboratory and point-of-care tests (POCT) by independent third parties and, if necessary, pointing out erroneous measurement results and analytical or diagnostic improvement potential. Other benefits include the option of using EQA samples for other important laboratory procedures, such as the verification or validation of diagnostic medical devices (IVD-MDs), a contribution to the estimation of measurement uncertainty, a means of training and educating laboratory staff through educational EQA programmes or samples, or even for independent and documented monitoring of staff competence, such as on samples with unusual or even exceptional characteristics.
