Patient-Led Mass Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in the Older Population Using Handheld Electrocardiographic Devices Integrated With a Clinician-Coordinated Remote Central Monitoring System: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial and Process Evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: By incorporating an integrated health care approach involving patient empowerment, centralized clinician-coordinated ECG monitoring, and facilitation of primary care and specialist services, it is possible to diagnose and treat AF early to reduce stroke risk. This study will provide new information on how to implement AF screening using digital health technology practicably and feasibly for older and frail populations residing in the community.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12621000184875; https://www.anzctr.org.au/Trial/Registration/TrialReview.aspx?id=380877.INTERNAT...

Biomarkers for the Early Diagnosis of Sepsis in Burns: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusions: The most widely studied biomarkers are poorly predictive for sepsis in burns patients. Brain natriuretic peptide, stroke volume index, TNF-alpha, and cell-free DNA showed promise in single studies and should be further evaluated. A standardized approach to the evaluation of diagnostic markers (including time of sampling, cut-offs, and outcomes) would be useful.

Prehospital lateral canthotomy
We present the case of a 21-year-old patient who required a prehospital lateral canthotomy following a penetrating injury to the head. This, the first recorded prehospital case, highlights the importance of this simple, potentially sight saving procedure and why it should be in the armamentarium of all prehospital emergency physicians. Background Our patient was treated by the physician staffed Greater Sydney Area Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (GSA-HEMS) from its satellite base 100 km South of Sydney, Australia. GSA-HEMS covers the state of New South Wales providing medical teams for prehospital trauma response...

Albumin: Pathophysiologic basis of its role in the treatment of cirrhosis and its complications
Abstract Since the introduction of human serum albumin as a plasma expander in the 1940s, considerable research has allowed a better understanding of its biochemical properties and potential clinical benefits. Albumin has a complex structure, which is responsible for a variety of biological functions. In disease, albumin molecule is susceptible to modifications that may alter its biological activity. During the last decades, different methods to measure albumin function have been developed. Recent studies have shown that not only albumin concentration but also albumin function is reduced in liver failure. This observation ...

Moderate systemic hypothermia decreases burn depth progression
Conclusions: Systemic hypothermia decreases burn depth progression in a rodent model and up-regulation of skin-protective genes and down-regulation of detrimental tissue remodeling genes by hypothermia may contribute to its beneficial effects.

Endothelial necrosis at 1 hour postburn predicts progression of tissue injury
Abstract Burn injury progression has not been well characterized at the cellular level. To define burn injury progression in terms of cell death, histopathologic spatiotemporal relationships of cellular necrosis and apoptosis were investigated in a validated porcine model of vertical burn injury progression. Cell necrosis was identified by high mobility group box 1 protein and apoptosis by Caspase 3a staining of tissue samples taken 1 hour, 24 hours, and 7 days postburn. Level of endothelial cell necrosis at 1 hour was predictive of level of apoptosis at 24 hours (Pearson's r = 0.87) and of level of tissue necrosis at ...

Range of motion exercises in the setting of burn-associated heterotopic ossification at the elbow: case series and discussion
Heterotopic ossification (HO), the extra-articular formation of mature, lamellar bone in connective tissue, can present as a complication for a wide-ranging set of conditions including fracture, neurological injury (traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke), orthopedic surgery, and burn . In the setting of burn, HO most frequently occurs at the elbow. While the overall reported incidence is low at 0.1–3.3%, the incidence has been reported to rise as high as 35% when the total body surface area (TBSA) of the burn reaches 25%. When present, HO can produce significant pain, loss of range of motion (ROM) and fu...

If only a Scotsman had boldly gone… | Kevin McKenna
The UK Space Conference opens in Glasgow this week – where better to hold it with all these UFOs around?Like many Scots, I am proud of my country's role in Earth's understanding of outer space. When it first dawned on me as a child that the most important member of Captain James T Kirk's Starship Enterprise was Scottish, I was bursting with pride. Neither do you get to have names such as Neil Armstrong or John Glenn unless there is a significant quotient of Scots blood in you. And when it was revealed many years later that Obi-Wan Kenobi too was Scottish, well… our place in cosmology was finally secured. There have eve...

Bill Bowman obituary
Pharmacologist and academic who made a huge contribution in the field of anaesthesiaAnyone who has had a general anaesthetic in the last 40 years has reason to be grateful to Bill Bowman, who has died aged 83. Bill played a pivotal role in both understanding how muscle-relaxing drugs work and developing safer and shorter-acting replacements.A person under anaesthetic twitches alarmingly unless a drug is used for "paralysis" or temporary muscle relaxation. This allows surgery in the chest and abdomen without the need for very deep anaesthesia and makes it possible for a tube to be passed into the windpipe to keep a patient'...

Pure OCD: a rude awakening
You mentally undress your friends, Tony Blair, the lollipop lady. Your thoughts are X-rated. You wonder if you're a paedophile – or just losing your mind. A sufferer describes the nightmare – and dark comedy – of living with pure OCDOn a spring night when I was 15 the mental image of a naked child entered my head and the corners of my world folded in. I put down my cutlery. My throat was closing over. Dad sat across from me, 10,000 miles away, and Mum was hunting draughts at the window.Stoned and smiling, my brother sat next to me, resting his elbows on teenage knees too high for the table. He looked sidelong at Mum ...

Grey matter and csf amyloid in early non-demented parkinson's disease: the incidence of cognitive impairment in cohorts with longitudinal evaluation in parkinson's disease (icicle-pd) study
Conclusion We report a significant correlation between reduced GM volume and lower Aβ1–40 and Aβ1–42 levels in patients with newly diagnosed PDND. These data suggest that even in early PD, CSF markers may be associated with measures of brain atrophy. Although neither GM loss nor Aβ1–40 or Aβ1–42 levels correlated with cognitive performance, we postulate that this reflects the very early nature of the neurodegenerative process in this cohort.

Grey matter correlations of cognitive impairment in early parkinson's disease: the incidence of cognitive impairment in cohorts with longitudinal evaluation-parkinson's disease (icicle-pd) study
Conclusion GM loss is not present in newly diagnosed PD, either in patients with PD–MCI or PD–NC. These data are consistent with neuropathological studies suggesting that GM loss occurs with disease progression and is not prominent in early PD where the neurodegenerative process is more limited.
