الوصف: Archaeooides originally refers to a group of early Cambrian globular microfossils with regularly arranged nodular surface ornaments, and of a diameter ranging from less than 400 μm to more than 2 mm. The traditional taxonomy assigns all Archaeooides-like microfossils to a single morphotaxon, Archaeooides granulatus, irrespective of their differences in size and surface ornamentation. Archaeooides has been interpreted as a possible diapause embryo because of its inferred palintomical cell division and thick wall with vesicular structures. However, this interpretation needs further testing based on an updated taxonomy and differentiation of taphonomic artifacts from biological structures. Here, we report new, three-dimensionally phosphatized, Archaeooides-like microfossils from the Fortunian of China. In addition to A. granulatus with nodular ornaments, we recognized three new taxa, i.e., Shaanisphaera spinosa gen. et sp. nov. with spine-like ornaments, Qinlingisphaera conica gen. et sp. nov. with cone-like ornaments, and Dahisphaera plana gen. et sp. nov. with oblate ornaments. Each taxon has a wide size interval, ranging continuously from several hundred micrometers to one or two millimeters, which is different from animal eggs that generally have a narrow and conservative size interval. Micro-CT analyses and thin sections reveal that the vesicular structures may be taphonomic in nature, and that the wall thickness is specimen-dependent. Collectively, the evidence at hand does not support an embryo interpretation for Archaeooides. Instead, the wide size interval probably represents ontogenetic variations that are common in many fossil and modern algae, and thus further suggests an algal affinity for Archaeooides as well as the other Archaeooides-like microfossils.

الوصف: Background: Changes in demographics with an older population, the illness panorama with increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases, and the shift from hospital care to home-based care place demand on primary health care, which requires multiprofessional collaboration and team-based organization of work. The COVID-19 pandemic affected health care in various ways, such as heightened infection control measures, changing work practices, and increased workload.Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between primary care practices’ organization, and quality and safety changes during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design: Data were collected from 38 countries in a large online survey, the PRICOV-19 study. For this paper, the participating practices were categorized as “Only GPs”, comprising practices with solely general practitioners (GPs) and/or GP trainees, without any other health care professionals (n = 1,544), and “Multiprofessional,” comprising practices with at least one GP or GP trainee and one or more other health professionals (n = 3,936).Results: Both categories of practices improved in infection control routines when compared before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. A larger proportion of the multiprofessional practices changed their routines to protect vulnerable patients. Telephone triage was used in more “Multiprofessional” practices, whereas “Only GPs” were more likely to perform video consultations as an alternative to physical visits. Both types of practices reported that the time to review new guidelines and scientific literature decreased during the pandemic. However, both had more meetings to discuss directives than before the pandemic.Conclusions: Multiprofessional teams were keener to introduce changes to the care organization to protect vulnerable patients. However, practices with only GPs were found to be more aligned with video consultations, perhaps reflecting the close patient-doctor relationship. In contrast, telephone triage was used more in multiprofessional teams.

الوصف: Antimicrobial stewardship involves a delicate balance between the risk of undertreating individuals and the potential societal burden of overprescribing antimicrobials. This balance is especially crucial in neonatal care. In this observational study, the usefulness of biomarkers of infectious diseases (calprotectin, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cells (WBCs) were evaluated in 141 febrile infants aged 28-90 days presenting to an emergency department. Since our focus was on the usefulness of serum calprotectin, this biomarker was not part of clinical decision-making. A significant difference was observed in the levels of all biomarkers, related to final discharge diagnosis and disposition status. The difference in levels related to antibiotic prescription was significant for all biomarkers but WBCs. The performance of calprotectin in the detection of bacterial infections (AUC (95% CI): 0.804 (0.691, 0.916)) was comparable to the performance of both PCT (0.901 (0.823, 0.980)) and CRP (0.859 (0.764, 0.953)) and superior to the WBC count (0.684 (0.544, 0.823)). Procalcitonin and CRP demonstrated a statistically significantly higher specificity relative to calprotectin. In this cohort, antibiotic use did not always correlate to a definite diagnosis of confirmed bacterial infection. The sample size was limited due to associated challenges with recruiting febrile infants. Hence, there is a need for adequate diagnostic tools to help discriminate between various kinds of infections. This study suggests serum calprotectin, procalcitonin, and CRP may serve as valuable biomarkers to differentiate between types of infection, in addition to clinical input and decision-making.

الوصف: Introduction: Research related to parent-led neonatal pain management is increasing, as is the clinical implementation. Skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding and parents’ vocalizations are examples of pain reducing methods that give parents an opportunity to protect their infant from harm while alleviating their anxiety and developing their parenting skills.Methods: In this paper we will provide a narrative review and describe the current research about parent-led neonatal pain management. Based on this we will discuss clinical challenges, implementation strategies and implications for future research.Results: Parents express great readiness to embrace opportunities to increase their self-efficacy in their ability to address infant pain. Parent-led pain- reducing methods are effective, feasible, cost-effective, culturally sensitive, and can be individualized and tailored to both the parent’s and infant’s needs. Both barriers and facilitators of parent-led pain care have been studied in research highlighting structural, organizational, educational, and intra- and interpersonal aspects. For example, health care professionals’ attitudes and beliefs on parent-led methods, and their concern that parental presence during a procedure increases staff anxiety. On the other hand, the presence of a local pain champion whose duty is to facilitate the adoption of pain control measures and actively promote parent-professional collaboration, is crucial for culture change in neonatal pain management and nurses have a key role in this change. The knowledge-to-practice gap in parent-led management of infants’ procedure-related pain highlight the need for broader educational applications and collaborative professional, parental and research initiatives to facilitate practice change.Conclusion: Parent-led neonatal pain management is more than simply a humane and compassionate thing to do. The inclusion of parent-led pain care has been scientifically proven to be one of the most effective ways to reduce pain associated with repeated painful procedures in early life and parents report a desire to participate. Focus on enablers across interprofessional, organizational and structural levels and implementation of recommended pediatric pain guidelines can support the provision of optimal evidence-based family-centered neonatal pain management.

الوصف: Using the Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) as a lens, this study examines the making of risk communication in Swedish municipalities by comparing two central professions in this work, safety and communication. Sweden's decentralised responsibility for risk preparedness means that municipalities are given a central role in promoting increased preparedness among residents and local actors. However, there is little guidance on how to organise the work and how to coordinate between the different professions involved. Municipal officials are tasked with developing strategies to implement national policies, including conducting and communicating RVA. The study is comparing two central professions in Swedish municipalities' risk communication, safety, and communication, to analyse their views on central tasks and perceptions of their practice. The theoretical approach is based on risk communication and institutional theory, and the empirical material consists of an interview study with both safety and communication officers (N = 36). The findings reveal that while both professional logics are active in municipal risk communication, interactions, and negotiations between them are somewhat limited. The organisational structure of the RVA favours the logic of safety officers, which has implications for how risk communication is made in practice. The article concludes by discussing what effect this may have on preparedness.

الوصف: At a time when disasters, pandemics, pollution, and other crises gain prominence, local governments bear a crucial responsibility for effective risk communication. Yet, there remains a gap in our understanding of how municipalities approach risk communication before a crisis occurs. This qualitative study, involving seven focus groups and 29 semistructured interviews across two Nordic countries, raises questions about ownership of municipal risk communication: What challenges do municipalities face in managing ownership in risk communication? How does the organization of communication influence municipal risk communication? The results underscore three key considerations: First, there is a critical need for municipalities to engage in definitional clarification of risk and crisis communication. Establishing a shared understanding is paramount for effective communication strategies. Second, reframing uncertainty in municipal risk communication ownership as an opportunity is suggested. Embracing the inherent uncertainties and dependencies can offer a valuable perspective. Lastly, recognizing the underappreciation of risk communication emphasizes the imperative for municipal decision makers to address resource allocation issues. This involves ensuring that communication professionals have the confidence and resources needed, vis-à-vis other functions involved in risk management.

الوصف: Increasing numbers of people are spending more and more time in digital landscapes, with many still unknown consequences for crisis and emergency management. This exploratory, in-depth, qualitative interview study (N=14) explores conceptions about local and individual crisis and emergency preparedness among a small group of young adults representing the most digitally savvy generation in Sweden. The results show that the respondents exhibit a complex and ambivalent attitude to crisis and emergency preparedness issues. Considering their digital habits and skills, the respondents emphasize their own responsibility, social ties, and expectations of help from the authorities and the local community when describing how they intend to face and manage a crisis in practice. This exploratory study contributes preliminary and tentative theoretical knowledge to a highly limited body of work specifically addressing citizens’ crisis and emergency preparedness in a digitalized world.
