On February 7, 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) posted a "Have You Heard?" piece in response. The CDC response states "After careful consideration of all available evidence, CDC guidance on the use of antiviral medications remains unchanged." CDC continues to recommend the use of neuraminidase inhibitor antiviral drugs (oral oseltamivir and inhaled zanamivir) as an important adjunct in the prevention and treatment of influenza. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8622753 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:30:00 +0000 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8622753 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eRepatNews/~3/cMAMR8EAslI/download.asp <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zshfvvg2mWaFGaMAeo4RVij8bvw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zshfvvg2mWaFGaMAeo4RVij8bvw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zshfvvg2mWaFGaMAeo4RVij8bvw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zshfvvg2mWaFGaMAeo4RVij8bvw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Using commonly available mobile devices (e.g., iPhone, iPod touch), HANDI is a prime example of how we can use mobile technology in public health and emergency preparedness. http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8622678 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:46:00 +0000 http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/download.asp?af=h&f=8622678 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/eRepatNews/~3/dboeYsCK3WA/download.asp <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kgsFt506m_8b9HiLEgezXTRmrdU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kgsFt506m_8b9HiLEgezXTRmrdU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kgsFt506m_8b9HiLEgezXTRmrdU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kgsFt506m_8b9HiLEgezXTRmrdU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced.

In recent years, as there are more and more medical transport services that are not affiliated with hospitals, the standard that requires ongoing clinical experiences has been more difficult to achieve. Legal and contractual issues are involved when private services try to contract with a hospital for clinical experiences, and the CAMTS board understands these issues.

Initial reports from the scene noted that 11 people were injured, with many sustaining critical injuries. Immediately, multiple helicopter emergency medical services aircraft were dispatched to respond to the scene, and ground emergency medical services (EMS) providers were en route. Of the five aircraft requested, only two were available to respond; one aircraft was out for maintenance, and two others were committed to other missions.

My partner needed a cigarette and left me to clean up as he walked outside for a smoke and directly into the microphones of the media. Intent on turning the patient we had transported into the breaking news story of the afternoon, the media asked some basic questions that he answered—condition, prognosis, injuries—and he walked away from the cameras. We buttoned everything up and flew back to our base, where we were met on the helideck by the program director and a very unhappy administrator.

Anecdotally, several reports have been made regarding changes in the form of hypoxia presentation in Iranian fighter pilots in the absence of these factors. This study focused specifically on the effect of pilot age on susceptibility to hypoxia and its initial presentation. We assumed that a pilot's age may increase his susceptibility to hypoxia and consequently reduce the amount of time it takes for hypoxia to present. Because our literature review did not reveal any previous study addressing the possible relationship between age and susceptibility to hypoxia, the purpose of this study is to address and clarify this relationship. Method: In this retrospective study, we collected information from Iranian fighter pilots (n 5) 03 through an anonymous questionnaire in 2000. The form of hypoxia presentation of each subject was evaluated during five altitude chamber training (ACT) sessions that were conducted routinely from 1972 to 1984. To enhance the accuracy of the study's results, confounding factors such as prior hypoxia experience in an ACT session have been taken into consideration. Results: The results revealed a statistically significant relationship between age and a change in the form of hypoxia presentation in our subjects. Increased age reduced the amount of time before the first individual hypoxia symptom appeared (P, .000002). Although having previous hypoxia experience may help pilots to recognize their symptoms earlier, its effect was not statistically significant (P&lt; .18). A few changes in the nature of individual symptoms were observed; however, we did not find a meaningful statistical correlation between pilot age and change in the nature of symptoms. Conclusion: Susceptibility ot hypoxia increases with pilot age.

Various strategies have been proposed, usually involving combinations of sedating drugs and physical restraint. Thus far, none guarantees safe retrieval while completely mitigating risks. This case proposes the use of propofol as an alternative to more traditionally used agents. An infusion facilitated the uneventful and safe retrieval of a patient who had demonstrated resistance and tolerance to other drugs. Discussion is also presented on the potential utility of propofol for the retrieval of acutely psychotic patients.

The purpose of this study was to identify the self-reported prevalence, location, and severity (frequency, duration, and intensity) of perceived work-related musculoskeletal symptoms and associated characteristics among flight crews, and to correlate any age-related differences between participants. Method: This study used a descriptive, cross-sectional survey design. An internet-based questionnaire was made available through a link from the Flightweb.com listserv to Survey Monkey. A convenience sample of 462 flight crewmembers responded. Results: Significant differences were found by age group for two of four musculoskeletal symptoms (frequency and duration were significantly different by age group). Those 39 and older had a greater proportion of having been previously diagnosed with arthritis or osteoporosis (χ2 = 8.503, P = .004). Conclusion: Age-related differences were believed to be a factor that contributed to more musculoskeletal complaints for older flight crewmembers; however, the data from this study only partially support that hypothesis. Flight crewmembers face a number of unique challenges that require maintaining physical strength and endurance.

When a STEMI is complicated by ventricular septal rupture, the care can become more challenging, especially if the rupture is not yet diagnosed. This article describes such a transport and reviews the pathophysiology of the process along with treatment options.

Classically, infants with HPS present with nonbilious projectile vomiting resulting from progressive gastric outlet obstruction. Depending on the duration of symptoms, patients may present with dehydration or metabolic alkalosis. The mortality associated with HPS was as high as 14.4% in 1935, but improved to 0.5% in the late 1960s, where it has held at 0.4% in the modern era. A clear pathophysiologic understanding of HPS has been evasive, although the hypertrophied pylorus likely occurs as a downstream consequence of postnatal physiologic changes, abnormal pyloric innervations, genetic mutation(s), and unknown environmental influences. Scant reports of apnea in patients with pyloric stenosis occur in the literature. Herein we present a recent case of an infant with HPS with metabolic alkalosis and apnea.
