Established standards emphasise the importance of collaboration and access to support. Some departments divide doctors into teams; however, inter-team communication is not always efficient. This quality improvement project aimed to improve teamwork and communication between resident-doctor teams at the Medicine for Older People (MOP) department at University Hospital Southampton using a messaging application. Secondary objectives were to assess the management of workload, resident doctor well-being, and patient safety. Materials and methods A WhatsApp (Meta Platforms, Inc., Menlo Park, California, United States) communication group was created to involve all eight MOP teams (no patient information was discussed). Anonymous questionnaires were used pre-implementation and two months post-implementation to assess the impact on communication, teamwork, overtime hours, doctor well-being, and patient safety. Data analysis was carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 30 (Released 2024; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). We calculated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and p-values using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results All 24 resident doctors (Foundation/Senior House Officers) participated, and 19 completed both questionnaires. Significant improvements were seen in communication (very good/good ratings: pre-implementation 5%; post-implementation 100%, 95% CI 1.62-2.58, p<0.001), teamwork (pre-implementation 26%; post-intervention 84%, 95% CI 1.12-2.15, p<0.001), and workplace well-being (pre-intervention 47%; post-intervention 84%, 95% CI 0.47-1.21, p=0.001). Mean days worked overtime per week were reduced from 1.89 to 1.31 (95% CI (-0.91) - (-0.25), p=0.005) and the mean time worked overtime was reduced from 29.7 minutes/week to 19.9 minutes/week (95% CI (-14.61) - (-4.92), p=0.003). All the doctors (100%) strongly agreed/agreed the intervention helped distribute tasks more evenly and facilitated the timely completion of work. Around 90% felt this very positively/positively impacted patient safety. All doctors recommended this intervention for future residents.

It has a protective action against intracerebroventricular streptozotocin-induced murine sporadic Alzheimer's disease and reverses spatial memory deficit in this disease model. The aim was to test the hypothesis that MGN-3 increases glutamatergic burst activity in human neuronal and glial cells by conducting an in vitro multielectrode array-based micro-electrophysiological study in a cultured mixture of human glutamatergic neurones, GABAergic neurones and astrocytes. The effects of MGN-3 at two concentrations, 0.750 g L^-1 and 0.375 g L^-1, and vehicle (control), on glutamatergic burst activity in a triculture of human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived GABAergic neurones, glutamatergic neurones and astrocytes were studied. The change in the number of glutamatergic bursts normalised to the vehicle control was analysed using a normal or Gaussian generalised linear model. This statistical model was highly significant (<i>p</i> = 1.468 × 10^-17). Both MGN-3 concentrations were associated with highly significant main effects. These results provide strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis that MGN-3 does not affect glutamatergic burst activity in human neuronal and astrocytic cells. The study's strengths include the novel use of hiPSC-derived neurones and astrocytes and the robust statistical significance of the findings.

It is often due to trauma, tumors, vascular malformation, aneurysm, oxygen deprivation, or idiopathic. A common complication associated with intraventricular hemorrhage is hydrocephalus, which is the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles. Hydrocephalus can be classified as communicating or non-communicating. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of communicating hydrocephalus after intraventricular hemorrhage. Methods This retrospective study was conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and included 52 adult patients treated between 2012-2022 who met the eligibility criteria. We examined the relationships among age, sex, length of hospitalization, presenting symptoms, co-morbidities, Evans index, Graeb score, Glasgow Coma Score, survival, and ventriculoperitoneal shunt complications through univariate and bivariate analyses. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to evaluate data distribution. Differences between groups were analyzed using the chi-square test for categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney U test for non-parametric variables.
