Published: March 1998

The purpose of this descriptive pilot study was two-fold: (a) to test psychometrically an observational instrument designed to measure patient behaviors displayed while unrestrained and receiving a musical intervention; and (b) to determine the effect of a musical intervention on the behavioral reactions of physically restrained patients. The Restraint-Music Response Instrument (RMRI) is a 40-item observational checklist consisting of 22 positive and 18 negative responses developed by the researchers. Content validity was assessed by a panel of experts. The RMRI was tested for interrater reliability using three simulated and 10 actual patients. Results suggest that the RMRI is a valid and reliable measure of patients' responses to music but requires additional study with a control group not receiving the intervention.

While internal hernias are rare in the paediatric population, it should be considered as a cause for an acute abdomen following blunt trauma. Internal hernias represent a surgical emergency that requires prompt recognition due to the high risk of strangulation and ischaemia of affected bowel loops. The case of a transomental hernia (TOH) is described in a young girl.

Objectives: Pathological remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) confers the development of heart failure. Our prior research has indicated that splenic nerve neuromodulation mitigates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by reducing levels of proinflammatory factors. This study aims to explore the potential therapeutic benefits of splenic nerve neuromodulation in MI and the underlying mechanism.

Background: Nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding under physical restraint is a clinical intervention that may be required when a child or young person is medically unstable secondary to restrictive eating.

Aim: To explore the experiences of parents when their child receives NGT feeding under physical restraint and understand the effects of this on them.

Method: This is a secondary analysis of data from two previous studies on NGT feeding under physical restraint - one in mental health wards and one in children's wards - in which semi-structured interviews had been conducted with patients, staff and parents.

Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors have shown promise as anti-cancer agents in malignancies. However, their specific effects on gastric cancer (GC) and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Our aim was to investigate this by combining evidence from population-based studies with data obtained from in vivo and in vitro experiments.
