Article Abstract
Background: Burnout (encompassing emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment) in healthcare professionals is a major issue worldwide. Emergency medicine physicians are particularly affected, potentially impacting on quality of care and attrition from the specialty.
Objective: The aim of this study was to apply an attention-based training (ABT) program to reduce burnout among emergency multidisciplinary team (MDT) members from a large urban hospital.
Design, Setting, Participants And Interventions: Emergency MDT members were randomized to either a no-treatment control or an intervention group. Intervention group participants engaged in a four session (4 h/session) ABT program over 7 weeks with a practice target of 20 min twice-daily. Practice adherence was measured using a smart phone application together with a wearable Charge 2 device.
Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome was a change in burnout, comprising emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal achievement. The secondary outcomes were changes in other psychological and biometric parameters.
Results: The ABT program resulted in a significant reduction (P < 0.05; T1 [one week before intervention] vs T3 [follow-up at two months after intervention]) in burnout, specifically, emotional exhaustion, with an effect size (probability of superiority) of 59%. Similar reductions were observed for stress (P < 0.05) and anxiety (P < 0.05). Furthermore, ABT group participants demonstrated significant improvements in heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep as well as an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokine expression.
Conclusion: This study describes a positive impact of ABT on emergency department staff burnout compared to a no-treatment control group.
Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02887300.

Background: Despite improved access to malaria healthcare, adherence to the National Malaria Guidelines for maintaining quality of care remains a concern in the DRC.
Objective: We aimed to assess whether the management of malaria cases for children under 5 years of age using Integrated Community Case Management (ICCM) is conducted according to the National Malaria Guidelines in the DRC.
Methods: We used a sample of 2,326 children from 30 ICCM sites.
Volatile pyrethroid spatial repellents for preventing mosquito bites: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Volatile pyrethroid spatial repellents (VPSRs) can prevent mosquito-borne diseases including malaria and dengue fever, but the use of varied evaluation methods has resulted in a lack of clarity regarding their protective efficacy (PE) against contact with mosquitoes. This systematic review and meta-analysis consolidates the entomological evidence base on the PE of VPSRs against Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex mosquitoes and different test methods used.
Methods: We identified studies completed between January 2000 and September 2023 by searching through databases, conference abstracts, and personal correspondences.

Purpose: Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) limits its clinical application. While individual SGLT2 inhibitors have shown cardioprotective effects, it remains unclear whether this is a class effect and whether the underlying mechanisms are shared.
Methods: A mouse model of DIC was established through the administration of six weekly intraperitoneal injections of doxorubicin at a dose of 2.
