Knowledge of female genital schistosomiasis and urinary schistosomiasis among final-year midwifery students in the Volta Region of Ghana
CONCLUSION: Awareness of FGS was limited among the study participants. The high prevalence of knowledge of some FGS symptoms related to the genitalia needs cautious interpretation. Health care training institutions must make deliberate efforts to highlight FGS in the training of midwives as the condition has diagnostic and management implications for some sexual and reproductive health conditions.PMID:38696499 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0302554 (Source: Pain Physician)

Mechanical ventilation in older adults with dementia: opportunities to promote goal-concordant care
CONCLUSION: Future efforts to promote goal-concordant care surrounding mechanical ventilation use for people living with dementia should involve identifying barriers to goal-concordant care in pre-hospital settings, assessing the timeliness of in-hospital GOCD, and developing strategies for in-the-moment crisis communication across settings.PMID:38685288 | DOI:10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2024.04.021 (Source: Pain Physician)

Feasibility and Satisfaction With the Word Catheter in Treatment of Bartholin's Cyst and Abscess
CONCLUSION: The Word catheter was frequently well tolerated for the treatment of Bartholin's cysts and abscesses, with few non-serious side-effects, however, it did interfere with sexual health. Nonetheless, it may not be possible to make general recommendations based on this exploratory study.PMID:38688643 | DOI:10.21873/invivo.13568 (Source: Pain Physician)

Limb Necrosis in the Setting of Vasopressor Use
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that medication-specific factors, rather than patient and disease characteristics, should guide clinical management of necrosis in the setting of vasopressor administration.PMID:38688844 | DOI:10.4037/ajcc2024171 (Source: Pain Physician)

The effect of continuous bilateral parasternal block with lidocaine on patient-controlled analgesia opioid requirement and recovery after open heart surgery: a double-blind randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: After sternotomy for open heart surgery, a 72-h bilateral parasternal lidocaine infusion significantly decreased PCA and total morphine requirement. However, neither signs of decreased inflammatory response nor an improvement in recovery was seen.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: EudraCT number 2018-004672-35.PMID:38680128 | PMC:PMC11046074 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjao.2024.100279 (Source: Pain Physician)

Emergency Physician Performed Ultrasound-Guided Abdominal Paracentesis: A Retrospective Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Emergency physicians with training in real-time needle guidance with ultrasound were able to use POCUS to perform ultrasound-guided paracentesis in the emergency department with a high success rate and no fatal complications. Based on our experience, we recommend performing ultrasound-guided paracentesis using a linear transducer, with attention to identifying vessels near the procedure site and maintaining sterile technique.PMID:38681156 | PMC:PMC11044928 | DOI:10.24908/pocus.v9i1.16668 (Source: Pain Physician)

Learning motivation and self-assessment in health economics: a survey on overconfidence in healthcare providers
DISCUSSION: We could show the presence of overconfidence in health economics, which is consistent with studies in healthcare and the economy. The subjective perception of some medical educators, being role models to students and having a superior 'attitude' (eg, morality) concerning the economy may foster prejudice against economists as students might believe them. It also may aggravate moral distress and disrupts interactions between healthcare providers managers and leaders. Considering the study's limitations, lifelong interprofessional and reflective training and train-the-trainer programmes may be mandatory to address...

Prevalence of FMS Diagnosis According to ACR 2016 Revised Criteria in a Pain Therapy Centre in Italy: Observational Study
Conclusions: This prospective observational study confirmed the diagnostic challenge with FMS, as demonstrated by the moderate grade of agreement between the FMS diagnosis at discharge and the positivity for 2016 ACR criteria. In our opinion, the use of widely accepted diagnostic guidelines should be implemented in clinical scenarios and should become a common language among clinicians who evaluate and treat patients reporting widespread pain and FMS-suggestive symptoms. Further methodologically stronger studies will be necessary to validate our observation.PMID:38674245 | PMC:PMC11052143 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040599 (So...
