Patients with acute cardiovascular disease require out-of-hospital care during the most critical and vulnerable periods of their illness. This study aims to evaluate the influence of musical intervention in patients with acute cardiovascular disease during transfer in Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances using an analytical randomized controlled case-control experimental study conducted according to CONSORT guidelines. Forty-one subjects took part in the study. The patients required the administration of nitrates/antiarrhythmics (n = 11, 26.8%), (n = 5, 12.2%) antiemetics, and (n = 7, 17.1%) opioids. Statistically significant differences were found for blood pressure and the variable cardiovascular drugs between groups. The use of music therapy to complement other health measures in ALS ambulances lowers blood pressure values and reduces the need to administrate cardiovascular drugs, thus avoiding their possible side effects. It is easy to implement, has a low cost and should be monitored and controlled as a specific nursing intervention, included in the care of patients transferred by ambulances on a routine basis.

Objective: This study explored community pharmacists' experiences and perceptions of information transfer from Queensland health hospitals for patients during transitions of care and the current utilization of electronic medical records for accessing patient information.
Methods: Qualitative methodology was used involving in-depth semi-structured interviews with community pharmacists to explore their experiences and perceptions with information transfer during patients' transitions of care. Purposive sampling was used to ensure the participation of community pharmacists who had experience with the medication management of patients discharged from Queensland health hospitals.
Cases of high-consequence infectious diseases identified in the UK, 1962-2023.

The management of patients with acute infectious diseases can present significant challenges, especially if the causative agent has a propensity for person-to-person transmission. In such cases, effective patient management is dependent on both rapid identification of disease and the provision of necessary medical care while adhering to suitable infection prevention and control measures to reduce the potential for onwards transmission. The UK has operated a defined system for managing patients with high-consequence infectious diseases (HCIDs) since the 1970s, when protocols were first implemented following the first descriptions of several viral haemorrhagic fever diseases, including Marburg virus disease, Lassa fever and Ebola virus disease (EVD).

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of various deep learning methods on DCE-MRI, in order to provide a simple and accessible tool for predicting pathologic response of NAC in breast cancer patients.
Methods: In this study, we enrolled 313 breast cancer patients who had complete DCE-MRI data and underwent NAC followed by breast surgery. According to Miller-Payne criteria, the efficacy of NAC was categorized into two groups: the patients achieved grade 1-3 of Miller-Payne criteria were classified as the non-responders, while patients achieved grade 4-5 of Miller-Payne criteria were classified as responders.

Background: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated diseases (MOGAD), which has been recognized as a distinct entity in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, often presents with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) symptoms in pediatric patients. Appropriate treatment based on accurate diagnosis is challenging in relapsing pediatric patients with MOGAD.
Case Presentation: An 11-year-old girl experienced relapses four times, exhibiting brainstem symptoms, an ADEM episode, seizures, and optic neuritis (ON).
Difficult Airway Management in Oromaxillofacial Tumor Surgery: Two Case Reports and Review of the Literature.

Difficult airway management in oromaxillofacial tumor surgery poses significant challenges for anesthesiologists. We present two case reports of patients with mandibular malignant tumors and maxillary osteosarcoma who underwent surgery under general anesthesia. Preoperative assessment revealed a mass involving the right mandible, completely covering the inside of the mouth and invading the floor of the mouth in the first case, and a mass in the left maxilla extending to the zygomatic arch and orbital floor in the second case.
