Summary: Prolonged resuscitation in neonates is rare but may occur as a result of severe bradycardia due to asphyxia. Chest compressions and medications are necessary for spontaneous circulation return. The two thumb method is preferred for chest compressions. The ideal compression to ventilation ratio is still uncertain, but the recommended ratio is 3:1. The use of feedback mechanisms for optimal neonatal CPR is promising and currently under investigation. Medications, such as epinephrine, may be required to restore spontaneous circulation. In rare cases, volume replacement may be considered.

Summary: Microscopy image analysis has advanced greatly in accuracy and speed with the help of machine learning methods and improved computational resources. MicroMator is an open and flexible software package for defining and driving reactive microscopy experiments, which is particularly useful for applications requiring real-time tracking and light-targeting at the single-cell level.

Summary: This study compared the intensity and efficacy of instructor corrective feedback (CF) on free writing in the classroom with automated CF in a tutorial CALL environment during form-focused drills. The results showed that the groups that received CF in the writing task performed better than the control group in subsequent written production, and the improvement in the metalinguistic-feedback-on-writing group could be attributed to error avoidance.

Summary: Studies have found no significant differences between procedural guidance and strategic guidance in task selection and domain-specific skill acquisition. However, inferential guidance can positively affect task selection, but only when participants have high conformity.

Summary: This review examined the effect of standalone audio-visual feedback devices on the quality of chest compressions during CPR training. Meta-analysis results showed that these devices improved compression depth and rate, but did not have an impact on chest recoil and hand positioning.

Summary: This study found that both obesity and wearing American football protective equipment can hinder the effectiveness of chest compressions in CPR. There is currently no established algorithm by national CPR certifying agencies to manage cardiac arrest emergencies with equipment-laden athletes. The study aimed to assess the ability of emergency responders to perform chest compressions on obese manikins and analyze the impact of football protective equipment on compression performance.

Summary: The study found that only approximately half of the medical staff could deliver CCs using the feedback device at an adequate compression position and the inadequate position occurred in all sides. Therefore, resuscitation courses should be designed to educate trainees about the proper placement during CCs using a feedback device while also evaluating the correct compression position.

Summary: Starting in middle school, students' frequency of seeking critical feedback remains stable; seeking critical feedback is correlated with learning of graphic design principles, poster performance, and students' choices to revise their posters; age does not moderate the relation between critical feedback-seeking and learning behaviors and outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the types of written corrective feedback provided by second language writing teachers to Taiwanese secondary school students on collocation errors. The findings revealed patterns in how teachers offered feedback on word choice errors and verb-noun collocation errors, which can inform language teachers in providing effective feedback strategies.

Summary: The study found that short training sessions on instructor-led and computer-based resuscitation maneuvers for future lifeguards were effective. After training, participants showed significantly improved chest compression quality and depth. Short training sessions with either instructor or automated feedback can effectively enhance the quality of chest compressions and retain skills in the short term.

Summary: This review provides a practical and updated summary on healthcare-associated central nervous system infections and their management. The term 'healthcare-associated ventriculitis and meningitis' has been recently coined and guidelines have been published. Diagnosis is often difficult and ineffective treatments are common with high mortality rates. Future research should focus on biomarkers and novel antimicrobial regimens for treatment.

Summary: This systematic review summarizes the diagnostic performance of clinical scores and laboratory tests for invasive candidiasis (IC) in critically ill, nonneutropenic adult patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Clinical scores consistently showed a high negative predictive value (NPV) and a low positive predictive value (PPV), while fungal antigen-based biomarkers retained a high NPV similar to clinical scores with a higher PPV but with heterogeneity across studies.

Summary: This study investigated parents' attitudes towards vaccinating their children and the reasons for vaccine hesitancy and refusal (VHR) on a global scale. The results showed a higher VHR rate in high-income countries and identified factors such as having disabled children, lower education levels, and using social media as sources of information for childhood immunizations.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in COVID-19 critically ill patients one year after ICU discharge. The findings showed that these patients had lower HRQoL in terms of physical functioning, social functioning, and mental health, with 31.8% of them experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which was closely associated with reduced HRQoL. Female gender, history of cardiovascular disease, liver disease, and length of hospital stay were identified as risk factors for lower HRQoL, while weight gain at follow-up was a risk factor for PTSD.

Summary: We present a case of cardiac arrest in a 61-year-old female recreational diver that occurred outside the hospital. After resuscitation, the patient was transferred to the hospital. Based on witness accounts and appropriate medical investigations, drowning due to a malfunctioning rebreather system was identified as the most likely cause. The patient had a favorable outcome.

Summary: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) have negative impacts on patients and also incur additional costs to the healthcare system. With the rise of antibiotic resistance, preventing HAIs has become more crucial. It is an important indicator of healthcare quality and patient safety, and should be prioritized by all health systems worldwide.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effects of vasopressin receptor agonists in the resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock. The results showed no significant correlation between the use of vasopressin receptor agonists and mortality or hemodynamic parameters. However, due to heterogeneity in animal studies, more data are needed to draw certain conclusions.

Summary: The current evidence suggests that in patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure, HFNC is not significantly more effective than NIV in reducing mortality, intubation rates, or hospital length of stay, and there is no difference in carbon dioxide pressure change between the two treatments.

Summary: This study describes the epidemiology and outcomes of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HABSIs) among COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 critically ill patients. The results show differences in the characteristics of HABSI between the two groups, with COVID-19 patients having a higher risk of mortality.
