Relationship between cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration and outcomes in children with drowning-induced cardiac arrest.
Am J Emerg Med
January 2025
Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Tsukuba Memorial Hospital, Tsukuba, Japan; Health Services Research and Development Center, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined how the length of CPR given before reaching the hospital affects the neurological outcomes in children who suffered cardiac arrest due to drowning.
- Researchers analyzed data from almost 1,000 cases and found that favorable neurological outcomes were rare, drastically decreasing after 33 minutes of out-of-hospital CPR.
- The findings suggest that extended CPR durations lead to poorer outcomes, indicating that emergency services may need to reconsider their decisions about how long to continue resuscitation efforts in drowning cases.
Clinical features and antifungal treatment of invasive Scedosporium boydii infection: report of a case and literature overview.

October 2024
Jiangxi Province Key Laboratory of Immunology and Inflammation, Jiangxi Provincial Clinical Research Center for Laboratory Medicine, Department of Clinical Laboratory, The 2nd affiliated hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.
Objective: This study aims to present a case of persistent mycetoma caused by Scedosporium boydii and undertake a systematic literature overview to elucidate the clinical characteristics and antifungal treatment exhibited by such patients.
Methods: We report the case of a 24-year-old female who sustained a Scedosporium boydii infection in her right foot over a decade ago following a nail puncture. Concurrently, a comprehensive literature overview was conducted on PubMed, focusing on documented cases of Scedosporium boydii infections with the intent of extracting relevant clinical data.
Differences in Injury Patterns and Delays in Care-Seeking Behaviors in the Anabaptist Population.
J Trauma Nurs
September 2024
Author Affiliations: National Farm Medicine Center, Marshfield Clinic Research Institute (Dr. Salzwedel); Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Population Health, Marshfield Clinic Research Institute (Dr. Rhodes-Lyons); and Trauma Department, Marshfield Clinic Health System-Marshfield, Marshfield, Wisconsin (Mrs Kracht).
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how the Anabaptists in Wisconsin have unique injury patterns and care-seeking behaviors compared to the general population due to their distinct lifestyle and health beliefs.
- - Conducted over 23 years, the analysis found that out of 14,431 trauma patients, only 81 were confirmed Anabaptists, who were more likely to require helicopter transportation and had specific injury mechanisms, such as buggy collisions and machinery injuries.
- - The research highlights significant differences in injury incidence and delayed health care access within the Anabaptist group, indicating the need for tailored injury prevention and health care strategies for this population.
A systematic review and disability-adjusted life years of Scedosporium/Lomentospora infection in patients after near-drowning.

Infectious Diseases Section, 3rd Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Aristotle University School of Health Sciences, Thessaloniki, Greece.
Scedosporium/Lomentospora species exist as saprophytic moulds that can potentially lead to serious infections in patients who have experienced near-drowning incidents. Scedosporium species are distributed across different regions of the world while Lomentospora prolificans has quite a restricted geographic distribution. We aimed to systematically review scedosporiosis cases after near-drowning, their clinical manifestations, underlying diseases, treatments, outcomes and its impact through disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).

Am J Emerg Med
May 2024
GRAFAIS Research Group, Institut Nacional d'Educació Física de Catalunya (INEFC), Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.
Background: A technique called in-water resuscitation (IWR) was devised on a surfboard to ventilate persons who seemingly did not breathe upon a water rescue. Despite IWR still raises uncertainties regarding its applicability, this technique is recommended by the International Liaison Committee for Resuscitation (ILCOR). Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of IWR with a rescue board before and during towing and, to compare rescue times and rescue-associated fatigue levels between rescues with rescue breath attempts and without (SR).
