Subjects
*DEFICIENCY diseases, *ORTHOPEDICS, *PHYSIOLOGICAL effects of nicotine, *SMOKING, *HEALTH, *MYOCARDIAL infarction risk factors, *ZINC
Abstract

The article discusses the effects of nutritional deficiencies, smoking and systemic diseases on the orthopedic outcomes. It focuses on several risks raised on preoperative assessment including heart attack, stroke and death. It discusses several factors related to nutritional deficiencies including albumin, zinc and highlights that other components responsible for wound healing, smoking and nicotine, act as life threatening factors.

7. Effective interprofessional teams: 'contact is not enough' to build a team.

Author

Sargeant J, Loney E, and Murphy G

Abstract

Introduction: Teamwork and interprofessional practice and learning are becoming integral to health care. It is anticipated that these approaches can maximize professional resources and optimize patient care. Current research, however, suggests that primary health care teams may lack the capacity to function at a level that enhances the individual contributions of their members and team effectiveness. This study explores perceptions of effective primary health care teams to determine the related learning needs of primary health care professionals. Methods: Primary health care team members with a particular interest in teamwork shared perspectives of effective teamwork and educational needs in interprofessional focus groups. Transcripts from nine focus groups with a total of 61 participants were analyzed using content analysis and grounded hermeneutic approaches to identify themes. Results: Five themes of primary care team effectiveness emerged: (1) understanding and respecting team members' roles, (2) recognizing that teams require work, (3) understanding primary health care, (4) working together: practical 'know-how' for sharing patient care, and (5) communication. Communication was identified as the essential factor in effective primary health care teams. Discussion: Several characteristics of effective primary health care teams and the related knowledge and skills that professionals require as effective team members are identified. Effective teamwork requires specific cognitive, technical, and affective competence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

45. Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Noninvasive Transcutaneous Chemical Dosimetry.

Author

Peck, C., Conner, D., Fleischer, N., Hill, V., and Murphy, G.

Abstract

Transcutaneous chemical dosimetry (TCD) is a noninvasive method for assessing chemical exposure in animals and men that relies on continuous collection of chemicals which diffuse outwardly across skin from within the body. To permit interspecies prediction of TCD, a physiologically based model using the Advanced Continuous Simulation Language (ACSL) was implemented. The model accommodated relevant anatomic parameters (thickness, area, and mass) and dominant physiological processes (diffusion, shunt pathways, binding, metabolism, excretion, and blood flow). At the skin level, the TCD model included chemical diffusion through stratum corneum and epidermis/dermis layers of defined thicknesses, and cutaneous capillary permeability and blood flow. Systemically, chemical entry, distribution, metabolism, and elimination were accounted for. Model parameters were derived from in vitro, in vivo, and published data. The model has evolved by using it to design and analyze TCD experiments involving exposure of rodents, monkeys, and humans (neonates and adults) to the compounds theophylline, isoflurane, and methotrexate.
