Abstract

To quantify the type and nature of the lessons and issues arising from the Joint Theatre Clinical Case Conference An evaluation of all JTCCC minutes from inception on 30 Mar 07 to 05 Jun 08 (n = 61) was performed in Jul 08. Each separate issue (n = 207) was assigned a NATO 'J' category and further sub-divided into clinical and non-clinical issues. Detail of whether the issues were raised for information only, or required action to be taken was recorded, as was the outcome of this action. A wide range of clinical and non-clinical issues (J1-J8), were identified. 23% (47) of the 207 issues were raised for information only. 77% (160) issues required action to be taken. 109 were dosed within 3 weeks. 23 took more than 3 weeks to close. Eight weeks after the study period 28 issues were still being actively resolved. 85% of JTCCC teleconferences had full participation from both theatres. Technical difficulties and/or the treatment of casualties prevented the participation of one or both theatres on 9 occasions. JTCCC supports deployed clinicians and enables rapid resolution of issues affecting combat casualty care. It is limited by its focus on UK casualties only. Although intended as a Clinical Governance tool the evidence of this r...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
