1. 'We have nothing left to bury.'

Abstract

After miscarrying in the hospital at eleven weeks, a patient gratefully accepts the hospital's offer to take advantage of a program for low-income patients that provides burial for fetal remains and a memorial plaque for the gravesite. However, a hospital employee accidentally incinerates the remains, and the error is not discovered until after the ashes are discarded. Two commentaries offer opposing arguments in response to the question whether, to avoid adding to the patient's grief, it is ethically permissible for the clinicians not to disclose the error to her and to proceed with having the name put on a plaque at the burial ground.

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of preventable strokes. Screening asymptomatic individuals for AF may increase anticoagulant use for stroke prevention.To evaluate 2 home-based AF screening interventions.This multicenter randomized clinical trial recruited individuals from primary care practices aged 75 years or older with hypertension and without known AF. From April 5, 2015, to March 26, 2019, 856 participants were enrolled from 48 practices.The control group received standard care (routine clinical follow-up plus a pulse check and heart auscultation at baseline and 6 months). The screening group received a 2-week continuous electrocardiographic (cECG) patch monitor to wear at baseline and at 3 months, in addition to standard care. The screening group also received automated home blood pressure (BP) machines with oscillometric AF screening capability to use twice-daily during the cECG monitoring periods.With intention-to-screen analysis, the primary outcome was AF detected by cECG monitoring or clinically within 6 months. Secondary outcomes included anticoagulant use, device adherence, and AF detection by BP monitors.Of the 856 participants, 487 were women (56.9%); mean (SD) age was 80.0 (4.0) years. Median cECG wear time was 27.4 of 28 days (interquartile range [IQR], 18.4-28.0 days). In the primary analysis, AF was detected in 23 of 434 participants (5.3%) in the screening group vs 2 of 422 (0.5%) in the control group (relative risk, 11.2; 95% CI, 2.7-47.1; P = .001; absolute difference, 4.8%; 95% CI, 2.6%-7.0%; P .001; number needed to screen, 21). Of those with cECG-detected AF, median total time spent in AF was 6.3 hours (IQR, 4.2-14.0 hours; range 1.3 hours-28 days), and median duration of the longest AF episode was 5.7 hours (IQR, 2.9-12.9 hours). Anticoagulation was initiated in 15 of 20 patients (75.0%) with cECG-detected AF. By 6 months, anticoagulant therapy had been prescribed for 18 of 434 participants (4.1%) in the screening group vs 4 of 422 (0.9%) in the control group (relative risk, 4.4; 95% CI, 1.5-12.8; P = .007; absolute difference, 3.2%; 95% CI, 1.1%-5.3%; P = .003). Twice-daily AF screening using the home BP monitor had a sensitivity of 35.0% (95% CI, 15.4%-59.2%), specificity of 81.0% (95% CI, 76.7%-84.8%), positive predictive value of 8.9% (95% CI, 4.9%-15.5%), and negative predictive value of 95.9% (95% CI, 94.5%-97.0%). Adverse skin reactions requiring premature discontinuation of cECG monitoring occurred in 5 of 434 participants (1.2%).In this randomized clinical trial, among older community-dwelling individuals with hypertension, AF screening with a wearable cECG monitor was well tolerated, increased AF detection 10-fold, and prompted initiation of anticoagulant therapy in most cases. Compared with continuous ECG, intermittent oscillometric screening with a BP monitor was an inferior strategy for detecting paroxysmal AF. Large trials with hard clinical outcomes are now needed to evaluate the potential benefits and harms of AF screening.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02392754.

6. Correction to 'Physical model of source region of subduction zone volcanics' by J. Huw Davies and D. J. Stevenson

Abstract

where I•=•/Vol2/2•:. Repeating he xample in the appendix; i.e., where/•=5 km,/2=5 km V0=7 cm/yr, T•=I.0, To=0.0, and •:= 10 -6 m 2 s 'z, we find that Tin=0.73. This shows that such a high velocity impinging on a stationary region can lead to high temperatures at the interface. In contrast, the mantle flow in a subduction zone impinges on a moving slab; it is the downward advection of cold lithosphere by the subducting slab that is critical in reducing the interface temperatue in this region. The above error does not affect any of the results or conclusions in the body of the paper, since the body of the paper is independent of Appendix A. In section A.2 of Appendix A, the axis convention should read "the x axis is perpendicular to the slab (negative out into the wedge)". Figure 7c has a younger oceanic plate than Figure 7d, so it is not strictly an enlargement of Figure 7d, as stated in the figure caption. The temperatures in the regions of interest, the slabwedge interface and the mantle wedge, are virtually unaffected by the age of the subducting plate as stated in the paper. The temperature of the subducting plate though does depend upon its age, but since the temperatures in the slab were subsolidus, their exact values had no bearing on the discussion of magmatism and the conclusions. We would like to acknowledge K. Bose, who pointed out the convention error in Appendix A.2 and the error in the figure caption of Figure 7.

7. Credentialing Character: A Virtue Ethics Approach to Professionalizing Healthcare Ethics Consultation Services.

Author

Thornton, Andrea

Abstract

In the process of professionalization, the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH) has emphasized process and knowledge as core competencies for clinical ethics consultants; however, the credentialing program launched in 2018 fails to address both pillars. The inadequacy of this program recalls earlier critiques of the professionalization effort made by Giles R. Scofield and H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr.. Both argue that ethics consultation is not a profession and the effort to professionalize is motivated by self-interest. One argument they offer against professionalization is that ethics consultants lack normative expertise. Although the question of expertise cannot be resolved completely, the accusation of self-interest can be addressed. Underlying these critiques is a concern for hubris, which can be addressed in certification and the vetting of candidates. Drawing on the virtue ethics literature of Alasdair MacIntyre and Edmund D. Pellegrino, I argue that medicine is a moral community in which ethics consultants are moral agents with a duty to foster the virtue of humility (or what Pellegrino and Thomasma call self-effacement). The implications of this argument include a requirement for self-reflection in one's role as a moral agent and reflection on one's progress toward developing or deepening virtuous engagement with the moral community of medicine. I recommend that professionalization of clinical ethics consultants include a self-reflective narrative component in the initial certification and ongoing renewal of certification where clinical ethics consultants address the emotional dimensions of their work as well as their own moral development. Adopting a teleological view of ethics consultation and incorporating narratives that work toward that purpose will mitigate the self-interest and hubris of the professionalization project.

8. Am Abgrund seiner Seele / Jenseits der Angst / Damit du nie vergisst

Author

Dania Dicken and Dania Dicken

Abstract

Am Abgrund seiner Seele Die Einwohner des beschaulichen Norwich leben in Angst: Seit Wochen werden Studentinnen auf dem Campus ihrer Uni überfallen und vergewaltigt. Als eines Tages die Leiche einer jungen Frau gefunden wird, die eindeutig die gleichen Verletzungen wie die bisherigen Vergewaltigungsopfer aufweist, ist klar: Der Täter schreckt vor nichts mehr zurück. Die Polizei tappt völlig im Dunkeln, um wen es sich bei dem Mann handeln könnte, bis die Psychologiestudentin Andrea Jahnke ihn bei einer Vergewaltigung stört. Und sich damit selbst in seine Schusslinie bringt... Jenseits der Angst London: Die 17-jährige Millionärstochter Trisha wird bei helllichtem Tage entführt. Die Polizei zieht umgehend das Profiler-Team zu Rate, bei dem auch Andrea Thornton seit kurzem arbeitet. Bald darauf geht eine Lösegeldforderung ein. Doch die Geldübergabe schlägt fehl und die Ermittler geben die Hoffnung auf, Trisha noch lebend zu finden. Auch Andrea lässt der Fall nicht kalt, gibt es doch einige Parallelen zu ihrer eigenen Entführung. Und sie muss feststellen, dass diese tiefere Spuren hinterlassen hat, als sie wahrhaben will... Damit du nie vergisst In den Sümpfen von Norwich wird die Leiche einer jungen Frau gefunden. Schnell steht fest: Die Todesumstände ähneln bis ins Detail denen der Opfer, die vor fünf Jahren vom Campus Rapist bestialisch ermordet wurden. Doch der kann unmöglich der Täter sein. Profilerin Andrea Thornton vermutet, dass er damals einen Mitwisser hatte - eine Annahme, die sich schon bald bestätigt...

Abstract

A recent study conducted at the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center in Culloden, West Virginia, highlighted the impact of transportation barriers on access to primary care in rural areas. The research found that patients facing transportation challenges often resort to emergency department services or hospitalization, despite being eligible for non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services. The study suggests that investing in NEMT services could reduce healthcare spending and improve equitable access to care for Medicaid beneficiaries in rural communities. [Extracted from the article]
