Effect of Instituting Upper Limits for Chest Compression Depth for Laypersons at Six-months After Chest Compression-Only Training: A Randomized Controlled Simulation Study

“…We hypothesized that laypersons may be able to perform chest compressions (approximately 5 cm) as per the JRC guidelines, without setting an upper limit for chest compression depth.Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to either the “unlimited group” (no recommendation regarding the upper limit of compression depth) or the “limited group” (“push to approximately 5 cm, don’t push over 6 cm”) and stratified according to sex using permuted blocks. All participants completed a 15-min chest compression training session, and their compression skills were individually evaluated immediately and at 6 months after the training using the Laerdal® PC SkillReporting System at Kyoto University. …”

Barriers to Implementing Intermittent Catheterisation in Spinal Cord Injury Patients in Northwest Regional Spinal Injuries Centre, Southport, U.K. by Subramanian Vaidyanathan, Bakul M. Soni, Gurpreet Singh, Tun Oo, Peter L. Hughes

“…Barriers to intermittent catheterisation are (1) caregivers or nurses are not available to carry out five or six catheterisations a day; (2) lack of time to perform intermittent catheterisations; (3) unavailability of suitable toilet facilities in public places, including restaurants and offices; (4) redundant prepuce in a male patient, which prevents ready access to urethral meatus; (5) urethral false passage; (6) urethral sphincter spasm requiring the use of flexible-tip catheters and α-drenoceptor–blocking drugs; (7) reluctance to perform intermittent catheterisation in patients >60 years by some health professionals; and (8) difficulty in accessing the urethral meatus for catheterisation while the patient is sitting up, especially in female patients. …”

MEK1/2 Inhibitor (GDC0623) Promotes Osteogenic Differentiation of Primary Osteoblasts Inhibited by IL-1β through the MEK-Erk1/2 and Jak/Stat3 Pathways by Zeng-Qiao Zhang, Xiao-Shen Hu, Ye-Chen Lu, Jun-Peng Zhang, Wen-Yao Li, Wei-Yang Zhang, Wei Feng, Dao-Fang Ding, Jian-Guang Xu

“…Relative to the control group, IL-1β induced the rapid proliferation of osteoblasts and suppressed their osteogenic differentiations by upregulating the activities of MEK-Erk1/2 as well as Jak-Stat3 pathways and by elevating MMP13 and MMP9 levels. However, blocking of the MEK-Erk1/2 signaling pathway by GDC0623 treatment reversed these effects. …”
