Major studies have shown that flutists report playing-related pain in the neck, middle/upper back, shoulders, wrists, and hands. The current survey was designed to establish the injury concerns of flute players and teachers of all backgrounds, as well as their knowledge and awareness of injury prevention and management. Questions addressed a range of issues including education, history of injuries, preventative and management strategies, lifestyle factors, and teaching methods. At the time of the survey, 26.7% of all respondents were suffering from flute playing-related discomfort or pain; 49.7% had experienced flute playing-related discomfort or pain that was severe enough to distract while performing; and 25.8% had taken an extended period of time off playing because of discomfort or pain. Consistent with earlier studies, the most common pain sites were the fingers, hands, arms, neck, middle/upper back, and shoulders. Further research is needed to establish possible links between sex, instrument types, and ergonomic set up. Further investigation is recommended to ascertain whether certain types of physical training, education, and practice approaches may be more suitable than current methods. A longitudinal study researching the relationship between early education, playing position, ergonomic set-up, and prevalence of injury is recommended.

To identify occurrence rate and to suggest management strategies for medication errors in a multi-speciality private hospital of metropolitan city of Gujarat. A prospective, longitudinal study was conducted in surgery and medicine ward of the hospital, during 15th July’2014 to 15th Jan’2015 after approval from human ethics committee. Medication errors (MEs) were categorized as prescription error (PE) and administration error (AE). The case records and treatment charts were reviewed and root causes were identified. The investigator also accompanied the staff nurse during the ward rounds and interviewed patients or care taker to gather information, if necessary. A total of 230 geriatric patients (81 in Medical and 149 in surgical ward) were included. Total 23 (10.5%) in medicine and 82(37.43%) in surgical wards MEs were reported. Greater number of MEs were found in female patients 68(64.76%) as compared to male 37(35.24%). The most common ME was PEs 98 (93.33%) followed by AEs 7 (6.67%). On second day of stay higher 99(68.28%) number of MEs were found. Incomplete patient information and miscommunication were common cause of PE. Moreover, lack of communication and requisition errors was common to AEs. A high occurrence rate (45.65%) of MEs was observed with no serious outcome. The root causes of errors were identified and training was provided to minimized errors in future.

Abstract Background Identification of those who are most at risk of developing specific patterns of disease across different populations is required for directing public health policy. Here, we contrast prevalence and patterns of cross-national disease incidence, co-occurrence and related risk factors across population samples from the U.S., Canada, England and Ireland. Methods Participants (n=62,111) were drawn from the US Health and Retirement Study (n=10,858); the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Ageing (n=36,647); the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (n=7,938) and The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (n=6,668). Self-reported lifetime prevalence of 10 medical conditions, predominant clusters of multimorbidity and their specific risk factors were compared across countries using latent class analysis. Results The U.S. had significantly higher prevalence of multimorbid disease patterns and nearly all diseases when compared to the three other countries, even after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, income, employment status, education, alcohol consumption and smoking history. For the U.S. the most at-risk group were younger on average compared to Canada, England and Ireland. Socioeconomic gradients for specific disease combinations were more pronounced for the U.S., Canada and England than they were for Ireland. The rates of obesity trends over the last 50 years align with the prevalence of eight of the ten diseases examined. While patterns of disease clusters and the risk factors related to each of the disease clusters were similar, the probabilities of the diseases within each cluster differed across countries. Conclusions This information can be used to better understand the complex nature of multimorbidity and identify appropriate prevention and management strategies for treating multimorbidity across countries.
