Men don't talk about their health, but will they CHAT? The potential of online holistic needs assessment in prostate cancer

Men don't talk about their health is a familiar trope. Evidence suggests that in the United States (US) and in the United Kingdom (UK) this is indeed the case. A survey of five hundred men in the US over the age of eighteen reported only 7% discussing their health with their peers [1]. Only 42% of men surveyed were prepared to consult a health care professional over a worrying symptom

An intubation technique using hyperangulated video laryngoscopy and a DuCanto suction catheter preloaded with a bougie: A case report with a video demonstration.

Video laryngoscopy outperforms direct laryngoscopy for successful orotracheal intubation in the emergency department. When performing video laryngoscopy, emergency physicians may use a standard geometry blade or a hyperangulated blade. Hyperangulated video laryngoscopy is easier when using a rigid hyperangulated stylet instead of a standard malleable stylet. The angulation of the hyperangulated blade makes it difficult to use an endotracheal tube (ETT) introducer (bougie). We describe a case report using a DuCanto suction catheter (SSCOR) with a preloaded bougie to perform orotracheal intubation during hyperangulated video laryngoscopy. An adult patient presented to the emergency department in status epilepticus and was intubated for airway protection. Hyperangulated video laryngoscopy was performed with a LoPro S4 (GlideScope) blade; a DuCanto suction catheter was used to deliver a bougie through the vocal cords. The bougie was advanced down the trachea, and the DuCanto suction catheter was removed. The bougie successfully delivered a size 8.0 ETT. Visualization of the larynx with hyperangulated video laryngoscopy is usually easy, but ETT delivery into the trachea can be challenging. Rigid hyperangulated stylets were created to facilitate ETT delivery, but these stylets are expensive and often not available. Traditional teaching says that a bougie cannot be used while intubating with a hyperangulated blade. This case report describes a method to deliver a bougie via a DuCanto suction catheter during hyperangulated video laryngoscopy. It allows for the use of a bougie with a hyperangulated blade and offers a technique to perform hyperangulated video laryngoscopy without a rigid stylet

The race for Ebola drugs: pharmaceuticals, security and global health governance

The international Ebola response mirrors two broader trends in global health governance: (1) the framing of infectious disease outbreaks as a security threat; and (2) a tendency to respond by providing medicines and vaccines. This article identifies three mechanisms that interlink these trends. First, securitisation encourages technological policy responses. Second, it creates an exceptional political space in which pharmaceutical development can be freed from constraints. Third, it creates an institutional architecture that facilitates pharmaceutical policy responses. The ways in which the securitisation of health reinforces pharmaceutical policy strategies must, the article concludes, be included in ongoing efforts to evaluate them normatively and politically

The state of the Martian climate

60°N was +2.0°C, relative to the 1981–2010 average value (Fig. 5.1). This marks a new high for the record. The average annual surface air temperature (SAT) anomaly for 2016 for land stations north of starting in 1900, and is a significant increase over the previous highest value of +1.2°C, which was observed in 2007, 2011, and 2015. Average global annual temperatures also showed record values in 2015 and 2016. Currently, the Arctic is warming at more than twice the rate of lower latitudes
