Who, When, Why?—Traumatological Patients in the Emergency Department of a Maximum Care Provider

open access: yesLife, 2023
Nationwide, there is an annual increase in the number of patients in German emergency departments resulting in a growing workload for the entire emergency department staff. Several studies have investigated the situation in emergency departments, most of

Emergency Medicine Resident Efficiency and Emergency Department Crowding. [PDF]

open access: yesAEM Educ Train, 2019
AbstractObjectivesProvider efficiency has been reported in the literature but there is a lack of efficiency analysis among emergency medicine (EM) residents. We aim to compare efficiency of EM residents of different training levels and determine if EM resident efficiency is affected by emergency department (ED) crowding.MethodsWe conducted a single ...

A generic method for evaluating crowding in the emergency department [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Emergency Medicine, 2016
Crowding in the emergency department (ED) has been studied intensively using complicated non-generic methods that may prove difficult to implement in a clinical setting. This study sought to develop a generic method to describe and analyse crowding from measurements readily available in the ED and to test the developed method empirically in a clinical ...

Emergency department over-crowding: a global perspective [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2009
Emergency department (ED) over-crowding has been a topic of intense interest over the past few years, with the Institute of Medicine report “Emergency Care at a Crossroads” published in 2006 [1], followed by the American College of Emergency Physicians task force report on boarding (2008) and, most recently, the United States Government Accountability ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Discrepancies Between Micro Versus Macroscale Viscoelastic Properties in a Microplastic‐Tissue Composite Model

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the discrepancies between bulk mechanics and spatial mapping in a tissue‐mimetic hydrogel model. Microplastic particles create localized stiff mechanical microenvironments that are detectable by cellular‐scale nanoindentation but leave bulk properties unchanged as measured by rheology.
