Oncology Inpatient Resuscitation Planning and Long‐Term “Rapid Response Call” Outcomes

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
Optimal end‐of‐life care involves a patient‐centered approach. The dual audits presented in this study show that a proportion of oncology patients receiving palliative‐intent cancer treatment continue to be managed in hospital without a resuscitation plan and may undergo care escalation to a “rapid response” intervention despite poor prognosis ...

Consent for anaesthesia: guidelines from the Association of Anaesthetists

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Guidelines on consent for anaesthesia were first issued by the Association of Anaesthetists in 1999 and last revised in 2017. These new guidelines respond to the changing ethical, legal and clinical landscape in which anaesthetists practice. Since 2017, the Montgomery judgment has changed medical consent practice.

Vog: Using Volcanic Eruptions to Estimate the Health Costs of Particulates

The Economic Journal, EarlyView., 2018
The negative consequences of long‐term exposure to particulate pollution are well established but a number of studies find no effect of short‐term exposure on health outcomes. The high correlation of industrial pollutants complicates the estimation of the impact of individual pollutants on health.

Estimated Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Metabolic Risks

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
This review focuses on the emerging evidence for the association between non-exercise fitness testing, estimated cardiorespiratory fitness (eCRF), and metabolic risk factors. Given the challenges associated with directly measuring cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in large populations, eCRF presents a practical alternative for predicting metabolic health

Addressing inequities in the design and delivery of prehabilitation in the UK: case studies of challenges, complexities and good practice*

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Prehabilitation has become increasingly prominent in the context of cancer surgery. While prehabilitation offers significant benefits, it can also inadvertently broaden inequalities because it is often more accessible to some than others.

Operative Efficiency and Short‐Term Outcomes of Robotic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Prospective Single‐Surgeon Cohort Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Robotic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (R‐TAPP IHR) is a promising minimally invasive tool for inguinal hernias. This study aimed to evaluate short‐term postoperative outcomes following R‐TAPP IHR from a high‐volume robotic surgeon who has passed the initial robotic learning curve.

Depth and Procedure Specific Effects of Antimicrobial Versus Conventional Sutures on Surgical Site Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial sutures may be particularly beneficial in colorectal and abdominal procedures, where reductions in deep SSI may offset the additional suture cost. Several studies also reported favorable wound‐healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common postoperative complications that delay wound healing and increase ...

Heart‐Rate Variability and Its Role in Non‐Cardiac Surgery Perioperative Care: Scoping Review

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non‐invasive method of assessing autonomic function. Those with autonomic dysfunction may be at heightened risk of peri‐operative complications due to sympatho‐parasympathetic imbalance. This review summarises the clinical applications of HRV, approaches to how it is measured, and its role in ...

An Optimized Multi‐Stage Drainage Cannula Design for Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study utilized an extensive optimization involving n = 540 design of experiments to produce a superior drainage cannula design. Compared to the clinically used Maquet model, our optimized design demonstrated reduced blood stagnation volumes, increased cannula tip velocities, and higher upper body drainage, potentially minimizing risk of thrombosis

Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists and muscle strength changes in older adults: Risks beyond muscle mass reductions

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)/Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists are increasingly prescribed for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes, yet research pertinent to their effects on muscle health is limited. Considering the central role of muscle strength as a sarcopenia component, this article summarizes emerging ...
