However, RA was associated with reduced periprocedural mortality (9.4% (89) vs. 18.6% (176); P=0.001) and lower incidence of cardiac arrest (9.7% (92) vs. 16.1% (152); P=0.001). In multivariable analysis, FA was the strongest independent predictor for increased periprocedural mortality (OR 2.087, 95% CI 1.629-2.674; P=0.001).
The radial approach was associated with lower periprocedural mortality compared with FA in patients with STEMI complicated by CS. RA seems to be a valuable option in technically feasible situations.

One overlooked determinant of interprofessional teamwork is the mobilisation of professional identity. Taking a health or social care practitioner out of their professional silo and placing them in an interprofessional team setting will challenge their professional identity. The theory of signature pedagogy was used to investigate the challenges and what is needed to support practitioners to mobilise their professional identity to maximise teamwork.
A cross-sectional mixed methods study was undertaken in the form of three focus groups, with members of health and social care teams in Wales, UK. Using nominal group technique, participants explored and ranked the challenges and benefits of mobilising their professional identity within an interprofessional setting.
Findings on mobilising professional identity were found to be aligned closely with the three signature pedagogy apprenticeships of learning to
and to
like others in their profession and to
with moral integrity. The biggest challenge facing practitioners was
like others in their profession while in an interprofessional team.
The focus of this study is health and social care teams within Wales, UK, which may limit the results to teams that have a similar representation of professionals.
Healthcare leaders should be aware of the opportunities to promote mobilisation of professional identity to maximise teamwork. CC-90001 For example, at induction, by introducing the different roles and shared responsibilities. Such practical implications do have consequences for policy as regards interprofessional team development and organisational commitments to adult learning and evaluation.
This is the first study of professional identity of interprofessional healthcare and social professionals using signature pedagogy to gain a better understanding of teamwork.

In fact, there are several definitions of osteoporosis according the purpose we have pathophysiological, diagnosis, therapeutic, but also because of progress in technology. The first definition is based on histology of iliac crest bone biopsy showing the loss of trabecular bone and microarchitectural abnormalities. More useful, a definition based on biphotonic osteodensitometry X (DXA) proposes the threshold of -2.5 T-score as a clinical definition of osteoporosis. A global definition is proposed by NIH, osteoporosis being a general disease of the skeleton associating bone loss and microarchitectural defects leading to an increased risk of fractures. But none of these definitions allows the practitioner to initiate a specific treatment. That is why a diagnosis of osteoporosis can also be established when the risk of fracture is high considering a personal history of fracture and BMD or more precisely calculated using the FRAX tool.Epidemiology of osteoporosis. Fragility fractures associated with osteoporosis have become increasingly common in women as early as age 55 and in men after age 65. These fractures cause substantial morbidity but also excess mortality and increasing health costs. The number of people aged 50 and over at high risk of fracture worldwide was estimated in 2010 at 158 million, and this number could double by 2040. In Europe, the total number of fragility fractures was 2.7 million in 2017 and could reach 3.3 million in 2030. Osteoporosis management is not optimal. There is a growing gap between the percentage of patients eligible for treatment and the percentage of patients treated. In France, even among patients who have had a fracture, the percentage of patients receiving treatment in the following year is less than 20%.Fibromyalgia and post-traumatic stress role of psychotropic drugs and psychotherapies. The literature shows a high frequency of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in fibromyalgia syndrome and unexplained chronic pain as a comorbidity of PTSD. On the therapeutic level, the care of patients must be done in the benevolence and respect for the suffering of the patient with a therapeutic education for an adapted nutrition, the maintenance of the maximum possible physical activity and a drug management, physiotherapy and psychotherapy such as behavioral and cognitive therapy and hypnosis. Early diagnostic and therapeutic management require good multidisciplinary coordination for the management of patients suffering from fibromyalgia.Marfan syndrome and related disorders. Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease, affecting about 1/5000 persons. It includes aortic wall fragility responsible for aortic root dilatation and risk of dissection, mitral valve prolapse, ophthalmological features (ectopia lentis, flat cornea, myopia), skeletal features (excessive height, arachnodactyly, thoracic deformity with pectus, scoliosis, and flat feet), cutaneous striae, particularly in the front of the shoulders, and dural ectasia. The gene affected is mainly FBN1 coding for fibrillin 1. Care includes beta-blockers, sport restriction, and prophylactic aortic surgery when the maximal aortic diameter (usually aortic root diameter) exceeds 50 mm. Many new related disorders have been discovered these last years.Induced asthma and sport. Asthma is a common condition and the symptoms can be particularly triggered by sports activity, exercise being a current stimulus of bronchoconstriction. Nevertheless, the therapeutic arsenal that physician has and the implementation of international recommendations, based on optimal control of asthma, allow for perfectly adapted care. The anti- doping rules must be known in order to define optimal treatment and not to put the athlete in a violation situation, implications in terms of sports sanctions can be serious. However, the exemption of three major beta-2 agonists (salbutamol, formoterol and salmeterol) from the list of prohibited products and the permission of any inhaled corticosteroid therapy (in compliance with the usual therapeutic doses) allows an asthma treatment (background and emergency) to really control asthma or exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Completely integrated into therapeutic education, sports activity must be encouraged in asthmatics.
