and an ankle rotation manoeuvre, respectively. Ultrafast-ultrasound was employed to quantify medial gastrocnemius architecture during evoked contraction and a dynamometer was used to measure the muscle torque and quantify the rate of torque development (RTD). Torque and RTD diminished by transverse load application, whereas they increased during the ankle rotation manoeuvre. Belly gearing declined with increasing transverse load but was unaffected by tendinous stiffness variations. Alterations in belly gearing were strongly related to variations in muscle thickness throughout any load applied and affected the torque rise rapidly. In contrast, changes in tendinous tissue stiffness affected the torque rise only but did not modify the muscle shape. These data may suggest that concurrent manipulation of the tendinous tissue stiffness and muscle shape does not affect the explosive rise in torque capacity, suggesting a possible uncoupling between mechanical properties of muscle and tendon.
Fluoroscopy has been an essential part of every electrophysiological procedure since its inception. However, till now no clear standards regarding acceptable x-ray exposure nor recommendation how to achieve them have been proposed.

Current norms and quality markers required for optimal clinical routine can be identified.

Centers participating in this Europe-wide multicenter, prospective registry were requested to provide characteristics of the center, operators, technical equipment as well as procedural settings of consecutive cases.

Twenty-five centers (72% university clinics, with a mean volume of 526 ± 348 procedures yearly) from 14 European countries provided data on 1788 cases [9% diagnostic procedures (DP), 38% atrial fibrillation (AF) ablations, 44% other supraventricular (SVT) ablations, and 9% ventricular ablations (VT)] conducted by 95 operators (89% male, 41 ± 7 years old). Mean dose area product (DAP) and time was 304 ± 608 cGy*cm
, 3.6 ± 4.8 minutes, 1937 ± 608 cGy*cm
, 15.3 ± 15.5 minutes, 805 ± 1442 cGy*cm
, 10.6 ± 10.7 minutes, and 1277 ± 1931 cGy*cm
, 10.4 ± 12.3 minutes for DP, AF, SVT, and VT ablations, respectively. Seven percent of all procedures were conducted without any use of fluoroscopy. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/vx-561.html Procedures in the lower quartile of DAP were performed more frequently by female operators (OR 1.707, 95%CI 1.257-2.318, P = .001), in higher-volume center (OR 1.001 per one additional procedure, 95%CI 1.000-1.001, P = .002), with the use of 3D-mapping system (OR 2.622, 95%CI 2.053-3.347, P < .001) and monoplane x-ray system (OR 2.945, 95%CI 2.149-4.037, P < .001).

Exposure to ionizing radiation varies widely in daily practice for all procedure. Significant opportunities for harmonization of exposure toward the lower range has been identified.

The World Health Organization published guidelines and recommendations on expanding health worker roles through task-sharing as one way to address disparities. A multicountry case study was conducted in six diverse contexts (Bangladesh, Colombia, Ghana, Mexico City in Mexico, Sweden, and Tunisia) to determine the cross-cutting strategies that enabled inclusion of a broader range of healthcare workers in comprehensive safe abortion care. Five strategies emerged leveraging of favorable contexts, policies, and guidelines; use of evidence for advocacy; building upon existing task-sharing; mitigation of negative responses to abortion and task-sharing; and collaboration across sectors. The findings suggest that there are potential opportunities for stakeholders to employ these strategies in many contexts to broaden health worker roles in comprehensive safe abortion care.Ghana has made progress in expanding providers in abortion care but access to the service is still a challenge. We explored stakeholder perspectives on task-sharing in abortion care and the opportunities that exist to optimize this strategy in Ghana. We purposively sampled 12 representatives of agencies that played a key role in expanding abortion care to include midwives for key informant interviews. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and then coded for thematic analysis. Stakeholders indicated that Ghana was motivated to practice task-sharing in abortion care because unsafe abortion was contributing significantly to maternal mortality. They noted that the Ghana Health Service utilized the high maternal mortality in the country at the time, advancements in medicine, and the lack of clarity in the definition of the term "health practitioner" to work with partner nongovernmental organizations to successfully task-share abortion care to include midwives. Access, however, is still poor and provider stigma continues to contribute significantly to conscientious objection. This calls for further task-sharing in abortion care to include medical or physician assistants, community health officers, and pharmacists to ensure that more women have access to abortion care.
To explore the strategies undertaken to decentralize menstrual regulation services and implement task-sharing, including barriers and facilitators, with nonphysician providers in Bangladesh.

We conducted a desk review of relevant policies and health service information from grey and published literature on task-sharing in menstrual regulation services, plus stakeholder interviews with 19 representatives of relevant health organizations to investigate facilitators for and barriers to the implementation of task-sharing of these services.

Task-sharing in menstrual regulation began in 1979 as part of the national family planning program. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has guidelines for menstrual regulation services provided by a wide range of healthcare workers using manual vacuum aspiration and the medications misoprostol and mifepristone. Despite government approval, implementation of task-sharing is challenging owing to lack of skilled providers, lack of facility readiness, and unmet need for family planning.
