Increasing consultant-level staffing as a proportion of overall physician coverage improves emergency department length of stay targets by Dominic Jenkins (9983446)

“…Multiple linear regression, which also adjusted for total on-duty EP n and other operational factors, also indicated LOS benefit from more on-duty Consultants: each additional on-duty Consultant was associated with a shift’s median LOS improving by 5.4 min (95% CI 4.3 to 6.5, p < .0001).</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">At the study site, in models that adjusted for overall on-duty EP numbers as well as myriad other operational factors, increasing numbers of on-duty Consultants was associated with a statistically and operationally significant reduction in ED LOS.…”

Novel proteins implicated in lipid metabolism disorders by Nature Research (16552612)

“…</p><p>Familial combined hypolipidaemia is a recently discovered autosomal recessive disorder attributed to mutations in the <i>ANGPLT3</i> gene, leading to very low serum levels of triglycerides and low- and high-density lipoproteins, but does not seem to be associated with liver abnormalities.</p><p>ANGPTL4 is a protein that is activated during fasting, decreasing the release of free fatty acids from circulating triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. …”
