CONCLUSIONS Our main finding of this research is that communication ensures shared awareness of patient health status, the care plan, status of plan steps and orders, and, especially, any critical changes or "surprises" regarding the health of a patient. Additionally, the research identified shared information needs; communication methods, strategies and barriers; and factors affecting successful communication, and has implications for both system and training design. Key implications for emergency nursing practice from this research are distilled in 10 'best practice' strategies for improving EM nurse-physician communication. BACKGROUND Higher crude prevalence of cigarette use among American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) than non-Hispanic whites (NHW) has helped engender an assumption that race/ethnicity explains the difference. This study examines whether being AI/AN versus NHW predicts greater use when socioeconomic status and demographics are controlled. METHODS Data came from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2013-2017). Using logistic regressions with socioeconomic (income, education) and demographic (gender, age, marital status) controls, differences between AI/AN (n = 4,305) and NHW (n = 166,348) regarding heavier cigarette use (past month daily use, past month use of 300+ cigarettes, and nicotine dependence) and current cigarette use (past month use plus 100+ cigarettes in lifetime) were assessed. Adjusted predicted probabilities were also constructed. RESULTS NHW, compared to AI/AN, had greater odds of daily use adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.23 (95% CI 1.03-1.49); predicted probabilities-15.3% and 13.0%, respectively. NHW had greater odds of using 300+ cigarettes AOR = 1.47 (CI 1.19-1.83); predicted probabilities-13.6% and 9.9%. NHW had greater odds of being nicotine dependent AOR = 1.57 (CI 1.31-1.89); predicted probabilities-10.3% and 7.1%. A difference in current use was not found. As controls, income and education were especially impactful. CONCLUSIONS With controls, particularly for socioeconomic status, heavier cigarette use was lower among AI/AN than NHW, and a current cigarette use difference was not indicated. This contradicts the idea that being AI/AN versus NHW independently predicts greater cigarette use, and it underscores the importance of socioeconomic status for understanding cigarette use among AI/AN. Neurological diseases refer to the diseases that target the nervous system (brain, spine or nerves). They are the second leading cause of death, and the first cause of severe long-term disability in the world. The prevalence of most neurological diseases increases sharply with age, and age also modulates the impact of risk factors, clinical presentation and the natural course of these diseases. Longitudinal population-based studies provide useful insights for a better understanding of the specificities of neurological diseases in older adults by assessment of a wide range of risk factors. Rapid population aging, especially in low-income countries, presents challenges in terms of health and social care. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary to find solutions to tackle the burden of neurological diseases in older adults. BACKGROUND Different variables are playing a role in prognosis of acute heart failure. OBJECTIVES Our purpose was to create and validate a risk score to predict mortality in patients with a first episode of acute heart failure during the first 2 months after the first hospitalization. DESIGN This was a prospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS We recruited patients diagnosed with a first episode of acute heart failure. MAIN MEASURES We collected data on sociodemographic characteristics; medical history; symptoms; precipitating factors; signs and symptoms of congestion; echocardiographic parameters; aetiology; vital signs and laboratory findings; and response to initial treatment (yes/no). A Cox proportional hazard regression model was built with mortality during the first 2 months after the index episode as the dependent variable. A risk score is presented. KEY RESULTS The mortality rate during the first 2 months after a first episode of heart failure was 5%. Age, systolic blood pressure, serum sodium, ejection fraction and blood urea nitrogen were selected in the internal validation, as was right ventricular failure. A risk score was developed. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ly333531.html Both the model and the score showed good discrimination and calibration properties when applied to an independent cohort. CONCLUSIONS Our ESSIC-FEHF risk score showed excellent properties in the derivation cohort and also in a cohort from a different time period. This score is expected to help decision making in patients diagnosed with heart failure for the first time. A 35-year-old woman with progressive decrease of vision in both eyes and with no other associated symptoms, manifested as the only antecedent, the death of her brother due to amyloidosis. The visual acuity was counting fingers at 30 centimetres in the right eye and 20/70 in the left eye. In ophthalmoscopy of the right eye, a white, homogeneous vitreous, that was difficult to assess in detail, was observed, and in the left eye a whitish vitreous with band-like opacities in the cortical region. Vitrectomy was performed in the right eye, and a study with specific stains showed positive for amyloid material. A case is reported of amyloidosis diagnosed with specific stains in a vitreous sample for which the initial and only manifestation was the presence of vitreous opacities. The processing of these samples should be considered in patients with family history, early vitreous opacities, negative results of systemic biopsy, or atypical course of the disease. In a number of mouse models of hereditary deafness, therapeutic transgene delivery to the cochlea and vestibular organs using adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) has shown striking rescue of hearing and balance. However, only a subset of AAV capsids have shown efficacy in transducing both inner hair cells and outer hair cells, and it is also not clear which of these can be translated to treatment of human inner ear. We recently reported efficient transgene expression of a GFP reporter in a non-human primate cochlea, in both inner and outer hair cells, following injection of the AAV9 capsid variant PHP.B via the round window membrane (RWM). However efficiency was poor at a lower dose. To further define the transduction potential of AAV9-PHP.B, we have performed a dosing study in the cynomolgus monkey and assessed vector-encoded GFP expression. Three animals were injected in both ears and four doses were tested. We describe a transmastoid surgical approach needed to access the RWM of this common primate model.
