Background Comparative phylogeography links historical population processes to current/ecological through congruent/incongruent patterns of genetic variation among species/lineages. Despite high biodiversity, India lacks a phylogeographic paradigm due limited comparative studies. We compared the phylogenetic Indian populations jungle cat (Felis chaus) and leopard (Prionailurus bengalensis). Given similarities in their distribution within India, evolutionary histories, body size habits,...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The nursing care plan (NCP) was developed approximately 100 years ago as a teaching tool for students. Our neuroscience intensive unit (NSICU) uses multidisciplinary rounding (MDRP) that may provide more relevant and up-to-date information than the standard NCP. METHODS: In this prospective single-blind randomized pilot study, we examined nurses' abilities to respond 7 clinical scenarios common NSICU. NCPs MDRPs from 70 patients were randomly assigned 14 nurses (10 per...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Ictal and postictal testing is an essential aspect of clinical care when diagnosing treating seizures. The epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) has standard operating procedures for nursing during after seizure events, but there limited interrater reliability. Streamlining ictal processes may enhance consistency patients in the EMU unit. purpose this study was to create assessment tool that would increase patients. METHODS: This prospective had 4 phases: baseline assessment,...
Immune-mediated limbic encephalitis affects both adults and children. Patients typically present with seizures, memory problems, imaging changes in the medial temporal lobes. Both paraneoplastic nonparaneoplastic forms have been described which antibody to voltage-gated potassium channel-complex associated protein, leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1, is most commonly reported. Elevated antithyroid antibodies also reported a range of neurological syndromes encephalopathy, such as encephalitis,...
Background The United Nations Convention on Children’s Rights stresses the importance of providing children with information relating to their health and well-being, yet reports suggest are offered insufficient support in healthcare environments. We audited provided families requiring planned surgical admission comparison those admitted acutely medical paediatrics. Additionally, we identified examples child-specific resources national international hospitals. Methods Three approaches were...
BACKGROUND: The epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) is a clinical setting designed to help diagnose and analyze the nature behind patient's seizures in hospitalized unit. Patients admitted an EMU may experience sleep deprivation, withdrawal of antiepileptic medications, use continuous electroencephalogram. purpose this study was explore change patient comfort during admission. METHODS: Epilepsy Monitoring Unit Comfort Questionnaire (EMUCQ) used evaluate initial stress level patients on their date...
With numbers of children and young people waiting for treatment rising to record-high levels in the UK, need paediatricians is emphasised. In order accommodate these demands, it essential that more medical students are encouraged pursue paediatric careers. By providing vital career support aspiring at an undergraduate level, recruitment into paediatrics can be amplified. An important way which gain early exposure through local organisations like university societies, who nurture interest...
Background and aims Learning from error can have a negative impact on the staff involved in (‘second victim phenomenon’ 1 ). We created project, based principles of Excellence 2 to learn excellence correct imbalance positive feedback context hospital practice. Methods results Using questionnaire, we surveyed existing mechanisms morale. then introduced system where recorded commented examples Recipients their supervisors received copies these reports was analysed discussed with senior...
Background: Neonatal stroke is an important complication to consider when assessing a newborn as it has the potential for chronic sequelae related neurodevelopment. Injury cerebral tissue occurs either by disruption in arterial blood flow brain from thrombus or embolism, also known perinatal ischemic (PAIS), interruption major vein, otherwise sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT). The incidence of PAIS reported 1 2,300 4,000 deliveries, while much rarer neonatal CSVT between and 2.69 per 100,000...
Although rituximab is an effective treatment for steroid refractory chronic GVHD (cGVHD), the mechanisms underlying B cell involvement in cGVHD have not been elucidated. Previous studies demonstrated that patients with active high levels of BAFF, a pivotal survival cytokine. We hypothesized reconstitution context BAFF after HSCT could support activated, potentially pathologic populations are most dependent on survival. first performed detailed phenotypic and functional analyses peripheral...
<h3>Introduction</h3> We work in a large paediatric hospital with high level of clinical acuity providing both tertiary and quaternary care. Shift based working; transitional staffing groups service demand posed challenge to longitudinal team learning promote culture excellence, patient safety quality improvement within the department. To counter this we developed simple cost free initiative enhance learning. Our key aims were to: Inspire reinforce working Promote evidence–based practice...
Rising service demand, staffing pressure and a planned move to new site prompted trial of discharge process at Scottish Paediatric Hospital. Our aim was use quality improvement methodology with mapping systems, delineating good bad variation multiple PDSA cycles measure the effectiveness Short Stay Policy (SSP) for acute general paediatric admissions. This policy streamlined patient processes by empowering middle grade team patients prior medical consultant ward round next day. The Standard...
<h3>Background</h3> Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are rare in children. Whereas risk stratification treatment pathways validated for adults with these conditions, their relevance to paediatric patients is uncertain. <h3>Case</h3> A 13 year-old girl high BMI presented 2 days of tender, right leg swelling intermittent fever no rash, arthropathy, cardiac or respiratory compromise. Doppler scans revealed an extensive DVT involving the great saphenous external iliac...
<h3>Background</h3> We identified significant challenges to longitudinal team learning in the Acute Receiving Unit of our quaternary paediatric hospital. These included shift work, trainee rotation and a high service demand. hypothesised that regular 'Learning Points' email would be simple cost-free way address this. Since establishing this departmental project 2017 we have sought improve expand throughout <h3>Aims</h3> Our key aims were to: Inspire enhance work – both within between...
<h3>Aims</h3> The need for specialist training in Paediatrics has increased with developing technical complexity and advances children's medicine. To meet this demand, recruitment retention is essential. Early exposure support to diverse vocation warranted.<sup>1–3</sup> Paediatric career advice rarely discussed at depth, both intra- extracurricularly. It provides vital medical students doctors pursuing careers<sup>4</sup> foundations building excellence. This ensures competency our...
