Department of Pharmacy, Fuyang People's Hospital, Fuyang, Anhui, China.
Introduction: Prevention and control of wound infection in burn patients is critical. This study aimed to establish an infection risk warning model based on the clinical characteristics of burn patients, by formulating targeted care programs according to the risk warning factors, and analyzing the effects of these programs on wound infection in burn patients.
Methodology: Data of 73 burn patients admitted to the hospital between 2020 and 2022 who underwent microbial culture examinations were analyzed.

While neonatal morbidities associated with early preterm birth are known, the risks of maternal morbidities in these births remain unclear. Thus, we set out to assess the risk of maternal morbidities associated with early preterm births. Retrospective cohort study utilizing the United States (US) Natality Live Birth database from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2016-2021).

Introduction: Lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are common after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but the imaging characteristics of lung parenchymal and pleural abnormalities in these patients have not been well-characterized. We aimed to describe the incidence of lung parenchymal and pleural findings among patients who had return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and who underwent computed tomography (CT) of the chest after OHCA.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at two academic hospitals from 2014 to 2019.
Assessing the Impact of the Pandemic on Treatment Outcomes for Cardiac Arrest Patients Utilizing Mechanical CPR: A Nationwide Population-Based Observational Study in South Korea.
J Pers Med

Department of Emergency Medicine, College of Medicine, Chung-Ang University, Seoul 06974, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the outcomes of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (MCPR) versus manual CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea.
- Data were analyzed from a national database, comparing survival rates and outcomes from 2016 to 2021, particularly focusing on the pandemic years (2020-2021) versus the non-pandemic years (2018-2019).
- Results showed that while MCPR was associated with lower survival rates compared to manual CPR overall, survival rates did not significantly differ between the two methods during the pandemic, highlighting that MCPR did not provide superior outcomes despite its benefits for reducing infection risk among healthcare workers.
Antipsychotic, benzodiazepine and Z-drug prescriptions in a Swiss hospital network in the Choosing Wisely and COVID-19 eras: a longitudinal study.

November 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, Regional Hospital of Bellinzona and Valli, Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale, Bellinzona, Switzerland.
Aims Of The Study: Physicians frequently prescribe antipsychotics off-label to treat, among others, insomnia and anxiety. The Swiss "smarter medicine - Choosing Wisely" campaign has tried to raise awareness about the risks and to limit benzodiazepine and Z-drug prescriptions. In the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, our network of public hospitals joined the campaign with the aim of avoiding unnecessary benzodiazepine and Z-drug treatments, with prescription monitoring, benchmarking and educational contributions.
