Background And Importance: In the Czech Republic, paramedics are required to consult a physician before administering intravenous opioids, which may delay effective prehospital pain management. As paramedic competencies expand in Europe, it is important to evaluate the safety and efficacy of independent opioid administration in prehospital emergency care settings.
Objectives: To assess the safety and effectiveness of intravenous sufentanil administered independently by trained paramedics compared to administration following remote physician consultation in adult trauma patients.

The application of cricoid force remains controversial in modern practice. This review critically assesses the anatomic, physiologic, and contemporary clinical evidence of cricoid force application. There may be a sound anatomic basis to cricoid force application, involving occlusion of the postcricoid hypopharynx, but the physiologic basis is uncertain.

BIOSPACE LAB, Nesles-la-Vallée, France.
Aims: Cardiac tumors are aggressive and asymptomatic in early stages, causing late diagnosis and locoregional metastasis. Currently, the standard of care uses gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI, and the associated hypersensitivity reactions are a significant concern, such as gadolinium deposition disease. In addition, the proximity of cardiac lesions closer to vital structures complicates surgical interventions.

Eye Institute and Department of Ophthalmology, Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Purpose: To evaluate axis-dependent visual and refractive outcomes of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in patients with interocular astigmatic axis discordance.
Methods: Seventy-five patients (150 eyes) with interocular astigmatic axis discordance were included in the study. Based on interocular axis combinations, patients were stratified into three cohorts: with-the-rule (WTR)/against-the-rule (ATR) (n = 19), WTR/oblique astigmatism (OA) (n = 39), and ATR/OA (n = 17).

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), mainly deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), persists as a critical contributor to hospital-acquired mortality. Despite its largely preventable nature, early 2024 data from Bon Secours Hospital in Cork revealed alarmingly low compliance with VTE prophylaxis protocol.
Aim: This study evaluated the implementation efficacy of VTE risk assessment and prophylaxis in adult hospitalised patients at Bon Secours Hospital, Cork, according to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.
