User-friendliness, time efficiency, and interpretability were considered the most important prerequisites for implementing OROMs in routine clinical practice. If adequate tools/technologies were available, 266/439 (60.6%) respondents indicated that they would definitely implement OROMs in routine clinical practice.

Although most respondents were familiar with at least one OROM, fewer than one-fifth applied them in routine clinical practice. Most respondents were willing to implement OROMs in routine clinical practice if adequate tools/technologies were available.

Our results justify further investigations to improve the application of OROMs in routine clinical practice in veterinary care of companion animal orthopedic patients.

Effective and rapid pain management is beneficial for patients and can support timely discharge from the ED, which is particularly important in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This article describes a service development project that introduced the use of a patient-administered analgesic, methoxyflurane, for patients with traumatic injuries with moderate to severe pain in one ED. The author outlines the benefits and rationale for using methoxyflurane as a first-line analgesic in this patient group and describes the main elements of training sessions for emergency nurses and other ED clinicians in the administration and supervision of patient-administered methoxyflurane.Three yeast strains, DMKU-GTSP8-6, DMKU-GTSP8-14T and DMKU-JED8-73, were isolated from food waste in Thailand. Based on the phenotypic characteristics and sequence analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, it was revealed that the three strains clustered with the Magnusiomyces/Saprochaete clade. These strains were distinguished from the closely related species Saprochaete quercus CBS 750.85, Magnusiomyces ovetensis CBS 192.55T, Magnusiomyces starmeri CBS 780.96T, Saprochaete chiloensis CBS 8187T and Magnusiomyces ingens CBS 517.90T by 11.4, 13.1, 11.9, 11.2 and 12.6 % sequence divergence in the D1/D2 domain and by 34.6, 34.5, 33.6, 33.2 and 34.9 % sequence divergence in the ITS region, respectively. The new species, which does not produce ascospores, is described as Magnusiomyces siamensis. The holotype of Magnusiomyces siamensis is TBRC 15056T, and the isotypes are DMKU-GTSP8-14T and PYCC 9023T.

Identifying the extent and predictors of burnout among occupational therapy practitioners is important so strategies can be developed to reduce burnout and mitigate associated consequences within the profession.

To investigate the prevalence and determinants of burnout reported by U.S. occupational therapy practitioners.

Cross-sectional survey.

Occupational therapy practitioners working in a wide range of clinical settings who spent at least 50% of their time in direct patient care and who had been employed continuously for more than 6 mo.

The outcome of interest was burnout, which was measured using the Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Personal Accomplishment subscales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). Predictor variables included sociodemographic and workplace characteristics. The relationship between MBI-HSS subscale scores and predictor variables was jointly estimated using a multivariate multivariable linear regression analysis.

One hundred seventy-tioners can be conceptualized as an issue of workplace health and safety. Various stakeholder groups can consider potential systematic interventions involving measures to promote positive supervisor support in the workplace and salary negotiation skills for early-stage clinicians. Future research should explore broad interventions to reduce burnout among clinicians. What This Article Adds We estimated the extent and predictors of burnout among U.S. occupational therapy practitioners. Future research, advocacy, and policy should address structural-level interventions to promote workplace cultures and conditions that can protect the occupational therapy workforce from burnout.

No evidence-based treatment protocol currently exists for infants with vocal cord paresis (VCP).

To assess the impact of feeding position on feeding success among infants with unilateral VCP and examine other variables that may be associated with feeding success.

Retrospective descriptive study.

Midwestern pediatric hospital serving rural and urban populations.

Sixty-seven infants age <1 yr diagnosed with unilateral VCP by otolaryngologist while inpatient.

Bottle or breastfeeding without the use of a thickening agent at discharge and without readmission for feeding difficulties ≤3 mo of discharge was considered feeding success.

Chart review was completed for 67 infants with unilateral VCP. Infants fed in side lying were more likely to feed without use of a thickened liquid than infants fed in upright (70% vs. 17%; p = .01). STC15 Infants who had patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation and infants who were premature were more likely to need thickener and to be readmitted for feeding difficulties.

allowed more infants to feed without thickener agents, and patient characteristics, including history of PDA ligation and prematurity, correlated with the need for thickened liquids and readmission. Consensus on the safety and efficacy of thickening breast milk is limited, so this information may allow more infants to breastfeed or drink expressed breast milk safely by bottle. It also provides medical providers information that can possibly prevent readmissions. What This Article Adds The results of this study can inform occupational therapy feeding practice through use of the side-lying position, as well as being aware of patient characteristics that are correlated with increased feeding difficulties.

Concussions are common among children and youth. To date, the pediatric concussion literature has focused on quantitative reports of the effects of concussion and return-to-activity guidelines. However, the subjective experiences of children and youth returning to occupations postconcussion have largely been ignored. An understanding of these experiences is critical to inform effective concussion management.

To investigate the experiences of children and youth returning to occupations after sustaining a concussion and the impacts on their future engagement in occupation.

Qualitative interpretive description was used for data analysis and interpretation.

Community.

Children and youth ages 11 to 18 yr from a cohort study were recruited to be interviewed about their experiences of engaging in occupations postconcussion.

Interviews were conducted 3 to 24 mo postconcussion, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using interpretive description to identify themes.

Eight children and youth (5 male, 3 femaleort variable recovery patterns, a lack of knowledge about concussion recovery, and a negative effect of concussion on occupational engagement.In some legal and societal circumstances, people freely and capably plan, organize, and precipitate their own death. Drawing on published literature, we critically reflect on how deliberately ending one's own life fits with the current definitions of the concept of occupation. Using an occupational science and occupational therapy theoretical reflection, we argue that deliberately dying can for some people be considered a purposeful and meaningful occupation. Implications for such an occupational therapy practice are discussed attending to the occupational needs of specific groups of people, reconsidering definitions and conceptual work, advocating for occupational justice in ending life activities, reflecting on ethical conundrums around self-harm activities within the scope of practice, and exploring deliberate death as a purposeful and meaningful occupation. Because deliberately dying is something that some people do, in this article we aim to open a dialogue within the field of occupational science and occupational therapy about this sensitive and potentially controversial issue.

The mechanisms underlying oxygenation improvement after prone positioning in COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome have not been fully elucidated yet. The authors hypothesized that the oxygenation increase with prone positioning is secondary to the improvement of ventilation-perfusion matching.

In a series of consecutive intubated COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome patients receiving volume-controlled ventilation, the authors prospectively assessed the percent variation of ventilation-perfusion matching by electrical impedance tomography before and 90 min after the first cycle of prone positioning (primary endpoint). The authors also assessed changes in the distribution and homogeneity of lung ventilation and perfusion, lung overdistention and collapse, respiratory system compliance, driving pressure, optimal positive end-expiratory pressure, as assessed by electrical impedance tomography, and the ratio of partial pressure to fraction of inspired oxygen (Pao2/Fio2; secondary endpoints). Dory distress syndrome patients, prone positioning overall produced an early increase in ventilation-perfusion matching and dorsal ventilation. These effects were, however, heterogeneous among patients.

However, once inactivated, their re-activation remains difficult, especially in diploid cells. Here, we present DExCon (Doxycycline-mediated endogenous gene Expression Control), DExogron (DExCon combined with auxin-mediated targeted protein degradation), and LUXon (light responsive DExCon) approaches which combine one-step CRISPR-Cas9-mediated targeted knockin of fluorescent proteins with an advanced Tet-inducible TRE3GS promoter. These approaches combine blockade of active gene expression with the ability to re-activate expression on demand, including activation of silenced genes. Systematic control can be exerted using doxycycline or spatiotemporally by light, and we demonstrate functional knock-out/rescue in the closely related Rab11 family of vesicle trafficking regulators. Fluorescent protein knock-in results in bright signals compatible with low-light live microscopy from monoallelic modification, the potential to simultaneously image different alleles of the same gene, and bypasses the need to work with clones. Protein levels are easily tunable to correspond with endogenous expression through cell sorting (DExCon), timing of light illumination (LUXon), or by exposing cells to different levels of auxin (DExogron). Furthermore, our approach allowed us to quantify previously unforeseen differences in vesicle dynamics, transferrin receptor recycling, expression kinetics, and protein stability among highly similar endogenous Rab11 family members and their colocalization in triple knock-in ovarian cancer cell lines.
