New staffing at QEH to improve patient care
Chief Operating Officer of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) Dr Christina Grenidge is expecting major improvements at the healthcare institution as it prepares to welcome significant staffing enhancements aimed at boosting efficiency and improving patient care.
Chief Operating Officer of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) Dr Christina Grenidge is expecting major improvements at the healthcare institution as it prepares to welcome significant staffing enhancements aimed at boosting efficiency and improving patient care.
The strategic additions include the roles of patient safety officers, a service improvement manager, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists.
Greenidge detailed the transformative potential these roles are expected to bring to the hospital. Particularly, the introduction of nurse practitioners is seen as a pivotal move to enhance service delivery in critical areas such as outpatient clinics and emergency rooms.
“They can work in two very important areas of the hospital — outpatient clinics and the emergency room,” Greenidge told The Pulse radio shown earlier this week. She emphasised the need for clear guidelines on their scope of practice within Barbados, noting their established effectiveness in other health systems like in the United States, where they prescribe medications and manage patient care plans in collaboration with physicians.
“Nurse practitioners have made a difference in primary care, helping patients with chronic conditions live healthier lives. They will undoubtedly play an integral role here at QEH,” she stressed.
Moreover, the role of patient safety officers is highlighted as crucial in maintaining and elevating safety standards within the hospital. These specialists will be tasked with overseeing all aspects of patient safety, from monitoring wait times to ensuring compliance with medical care plans.
“Patient safety is at the core of quality healthcare management. These officers will play a key role in monitoring and ensuring adherence to safety protocols, which is vital for patient outcomes,” stated Greenidge, herself a certified patient safety officer.
This staffing overhaul is part of a broader initiative to address the pressing healthcare professional shortage that is not only a local but a global issue, affecting many countries including the United States and Canada. To this end, the Barbados government plans to create 142 new registered nurse positions over the next two years and is looking to recruit internationally, including from Ghana.
The comprehensive plan to reform the nation’s healthcare system was announced by Prime Minister Mia Mottley at a recent Barbados Labour Party meeting at the St Christopher School in Christ Church South.

Cut it out: Dead pig in bin sparks SSA outrage
A shocking discovery in Christ Church has left sanitation officials fuming. On Thursday, a dead pig was found dumped in a public waste bin in Silver Sands, prompting a stern rebuke from the Sanitation Service Authority (SSA).
A shocking discovery in Christ Church has left sanitation officials fuming. On Thursday, a dead pig was found dumped in a public waste bin in Silver Sands, prompting a stern rebuke from the Sanitation Service Authority (SSA).
“Cut it out,” declared Carl Padmore, public relations officer for the SSA, in response to the incident. He described the situation as “quite disturbing” and “extremely disrespectful”.
The carcass was discovered after a concerned resident alerted the authorities. While smaller animals have become a common sight in bins, this marks a disturbing escalation, according to Padmore.
“We have seen things like chickens already, we would have seen things like animal faeces, but to see this here is extremely disturbing. It shows a lack of respect,” Padmore told Barbados TODAY. “This is the biggest of the animals we have seen thus far, and this is taking disgust to a very high level.”
The SSA spokesman emphasised that proper channels exist for the disposal of dead animals, including a dedicated SSA hotline and services provided by the Ministry of Health. The matter has been reported to both the police and health authorities, and Padmore hopes for swift action against the perpetrator.
“We are going to go all out to investigate this matter, and we are hoping that the guilty person can be dealt with,” he said. “Now, we are not the law, we are not the Ministry of Health, but we will do all in our power to provide them with the necessary information, and if there is a possibility of any type of action, the SSA will support that because this really has gone too far and we can’t tolerate this.”
This latest incident highlights an ongoing issue faced by sanitation workers. Padmore revealed that employees regularly complain about foul odours emanating from bins, suspecting animal remains. In some cases, even human waste has been discovered.
“The workers are annoyed and they have a right to be, when this type of action is happening,” Padmore said. “These are humans removing your waste, and they should be treated with a high level of respect.”

Medical Bulletin 06/ September/ 2024
Here are the top medical news for the day:
Danish Study Finds Air Pollution Impacts Male Fertility, and Traffic Noise with Female InfertilityA Danish study published in the The BMJ , has revealed that long term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution is linked to a higher risk of infertility in men, whereas road traffic noise is linked to a higher risk of infertility in women over 35.Infertility is a major global health problem affecting one in seven couples trying to conceive. Several studies have found negative links between particulate air pollution and sperm quality and success after fertility treatment, but results on fecundability (the likelihood of conceiving) are inconsistent, and no studies have investigated the effects of transport noise on infertility in men and women.To address this uncertainty, researchers set out to investigate if long term exposure to road traffic noise and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution was associated with a higher risk of infertility in men and women.Their findings are based on national registry data for 526,056 men and 377,850 women aged 30-45 years, with fewer than two children, cohabiting or marriedYearly average particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations and road traffic noise levels at each participant’s address (1995-2017) were calculated, and infertility diagnoses were recorded from the national patient register. Infertility was diagnosed in 16,172 men and 22,672 women during an 18-year follow-up period (an average of just over 4 years). After adjusting for several potentially influential factors including income, education level, and occupation, exposure to 2.9 µg/m3 higher average levels of PM2.5 over five years was associated with a 24% increased risk of infertility in men aged 30-45 years. PM2.5 was not associated with infertility in womenExposure to 10.2 decibels higher average levels of road traffic noise over five years was associated with a 14% increased risk of infertility among women older than 35 years. Noise was not associated with infertility among younger women (30-35 years).Reference: Sørensen, M., Poulsen, A. H., Nøhr, B., Khan, J., Ketzel, M., Brandt, J., Raaschou-Nielsen, O., & Jensen, A. (2024). Long-term exposure to road traffic noise and air pollution and risk of infertility in men and women: Nationwide Danish cohort study. BMJ (British Medical Journal). https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj-2024-080664Clinical Trial finds Adding Certain Anticoagulant Drugs ineffective for Stroke Patients Stroke patients who survive a blood clot in the brain’s blood vessels are prone to developing new blockages during their recovery periods, even if they receive vessel-clearing interventions. In an effort to avoid further clots, doctors at 57 sites around the U.S. tested a possible solution: the addition of anti-coagulant drugs to medicine that dissolves blood clots.But results from the clinical trial, led by Opeolu Adeoye, MD, head of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, indicate two such drugs did not improve outcomes.The findings are published in The New England Journal of Medicine.“We’re a little disappointed in the results,” said Adeoye, who is also the BJC HealthCare Distinguished Professor of Emergency Medicine. “But it’s meaningful to optimal patient care that we’ve answered the question definitively. Neither of the drugs helps prevent further clots.”The goal of the Multi-arm Optimization of Stroke Thrombolysis (MOST) clinical trial that Adeoye led was to test the efficacy of adding argatroban, a blood thinner, or eptifibatide, which inhibits blood platelets from sticking together, to the routine intravenous thrombolysis treatment.The trial closed the chapter on this potential use of these medications, but Peter Panagos, MD, professor of emergency medicine and co-author on the study, said that efforts like these inform future advances in medicine, including potential new anti-coagulant treatments.“Without negative trials, we would not know how to design new trials,” Panagos said. “Future success is built upon the hard work of previous research effort.”Physicians do not have a lot of treatment options for patients who experience a stroke. Some patients undergo a procedure to remove the clot. Others receive intravenous thrombolysis to relieve the affected blood vessel through clot-dissolving medication delivered to the bloodstream. A number of patients receive both interventions.“Even with those treatments, over half of patients still have a significant disability three months after their stroke," said Adeoye, who treats patients at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Missouri Baptist Medical Center and also provides stroke telemedicine consultation. "After you give the thrombolysis, the clot can re-form, which contributes to the stroke worsening or persisting.”Preventing these clots with an additional treatment of anti-coagulant drugs seemed like a promising idea, especially as there are FDA-approved medications that earlier studies had suggested could be effective.In the MOST trial, patients were randomly assigned to receive either argatroban, eptifibatide or placebo. Adeoye explained that the study had checkpoints built in to ensure that treatment outcomes were meeting efficacy thresholds in order to continue. The first checkpoint was set at 500 patients, which the team reached in 2023.“When we looked at the data, it was readily apparent that neither drug was going to come anywhere close to our threshold,” he said.In fact, the probability that either drug was helpful was less than 1%. Worse still, argatroban and eptifibatide were linked to greater incidences of disability and mortality within the three-month post-treatment observation window.This correlation was not necessarily alarming; the safety monitors on the project found that the deaths appeared to have causes unrelated to the medications. The lack of improvement noted with the medications compared with what was noted with the placebo was reason enough to call off the trial.Reference: Adeoye O, Broderick J, Derdeyn CP, Grotta JC, Barsan W, Bentho O, Berry S., Concha M, Davis I, Demel S, Elm J, Gentile N, Graves T, Hoffman M, Huang J, Ingles J, Janis S, Jasne AS, Khatri P, Levine SR, Majjhoo A, Pancioli A, Panagos P, Pizzella S, Ranasinghe T, Sabagha N, Sivakumar S, Streib C, Vagal A, Wilson A, Wintermark M, Yoo AJ, Barreto AD. Adjunctive intravenous argatroban or eptifibatide for ischemic stroke. The New England Journal of Medicine. Sept. 4, 2024.Insulin and Metformin shows promise in treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer: Research FindsResearchers from Michigan State University and South Shore Hospital in Massachusetts have uncovered a connection between two common diabetes drugs injectable insulin and metformin identified in wound exudates of diabetic foot ulcers, which may improve their healing.Research published in ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science has found that wound exudate the fluid the body sends to an injury site—contains metformin in patients who take the medication orally.The researchers then explored metformin’s relationship to insulin. They found that for patients who take both insulin injections and oral metformin, the amount of metformin found in wounds significantly increases. It was previously believed that there was no interaction between insulin and metformin.Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) pose a significant challenge in wound care due to their chronic nature and impaired healing processes. This study examines the biogenic amines and small molecule metabolites present in diabetic foot ulcer wound exudates to identify their potential roles in wound healing.“Until now, pharmacological studies had not found an interaction between insulin and metformin,” said Morteza Mahmoudi, an associate professor in the Department of Radiology and Precision Health Program at the MSU College of Human Medicine.. “Our study shows that there could be at least an indirect role of consuming both insulin and metformin in a way that metformin can end up in a wound area where it enhances the body’s capacity to heal.”Reference: Gould, L., & Mahmou, M. (2024). Analysis of biogenic amines and small molecule metabolites in human diabetic wound ulcer exudate. ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science. Study Finds Heavy Metal Cadmium May Linked To Memory IssueThe heavy metal cadmium, which is found in the air, water, food and soil, is known to cause health problems. A new study published in Neurology examined if thinking and memory skills were associated with cadmium exposure.They found no association when they looked at the group as a whole. However, when looking at Black and white people separately, it found cadmium may be tied to problems with thinking and memory skills in white people. The study found no such association in Black people. The study does not prove that cadmium causes memory problems in white people; it only shows an association.Cadmium is a highly toxic heavy metal that enters the body mainly through cigarette smoking, breathing polluted air and food. It is released into the environment through industrial and agricultural activities.The study involved 2,172 people with an average age of 64 and no problems with thinking or memory skills. Black people made up 39% of the participants and white people made up 61%. Levels of cadmium in the urine were tested at the beginning of the study. Participants took tests of thinking and memory skills every year and were followed for an average of 10 years.During that time, 195 people developed cognitive impairment. When researchers looked at the overall group, they found no association between cadmium levels and cognitive impairment. However, when they looked at Black and white participants separately, they found that white people with high levels of cadmium were more likely to develop cognitive impairment. They found no association in Black people.With participants divided into two groups based on cadmium levels, white people with high levels were twice as likely to develop cognitive impairment as those with low levels, even after adjusting for other factors that could affect cognitive impairment, such as physical activity, alcohol use and education. A total of 9.2% of those with high levels developed thinking and memory problems, compared to 6.7% of those with low levels.New Published Guidelines For Helicobacter Pylori Suggest Change to Treatment RecommendationsThe American Journal of Gastroenterology has published a new guideline on the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.H. pylori is a bacterium that infects over half the people in the world, though most are asymptomatic. It can cause dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. A previous guideline was published in 2017. It had maintained the recommendation of a proton pump inhibitor-clarithromycin triple therapy as the primary treatment option.In the new guideline, the number one recommendation for treatment-naïve patients is bismuth quadruple therapy. That treatment typically includes a PPI, tetracycline, bismuth and nitroimidazole for 14 days. “We were already recommending that healthcare providers move away from PPI triple therapy in 2017 because of increasing problems with chloromycetin resistance amongst H. pylori strains in the United States,” corresponding author of the guideline, William D. Chey said. “Despite that recommendation, PPI triple therapy still dominates first-line therapy prescriptions for H. pylori patients in the United States. In this newest iteration of the guideline, we are very clear to say that in essentially all circumstances you should not be prescribing PPI triple therapy, and you should be instead using bismuth quadruple therapy or one of the other suggested treatment options.”A third option consists of a new, highly potent drug which blocks stomach acid production called vonoprazan combined with the antibiotic amoxicillin.The guideline makes 12 total treatment suggestions for patients in a variety of different situations. The number two recommendation for treatment-naïve patients—after bismuth quadruple therapy—is rifabutin triple therapy (a PPI, rifabutin and amoxicillin.)Besides the move away from PPI triple therapy, another change from the 2017 guideline is the discussion of increasingly available molecular testing for antibiotic susceptibility. The guideline also outlines future research priorities, such as identifying which individuals would most benefit from H. pylori testing to prevent gastric cancer and evaluating newly FDA-approved regimens for persistent infections.Reference: Chey, W. D., Howden, C. W., Moss, S. F., Morgan, D. R., Greer, K. B., Grover, S., & Shah, S. C. (2024). ACG clinical guideline: Treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Domicile Certificate obtained from the West Bengal e-district portal will also be accepted as the proof of domicile provided the clause shall remain as stated above for the proforma al or proforma b, as applicable.
In case proforma b or e-district domicile of the parent is furnished, it is required to produce any two of the following original ID proof (Voter ID card, Aadhar Card, Passport) of the concerned parent during the stage of document verification where the said ID cards show that the residential address is in West Bengal.
Who are authorized to sign the domicile certificate:-
Proforma at or b must be signed and certified by any of the following competent authorities of State Govt. or Central Govt. having local jurisdiction of the place of permanent residence of the candidate or the parent as the case may be e.g.:-

Certification from any other authority other than those enumerated above will not be accepted.
Domicile certificate issued by the people's representative like Councilor of Municipal Corporation/Municipality, Member of three tier panchayet system or GTA, Member of Legislative Assembly or Member of Parliament are not accepted.
Proforma a2 must be signed and certified by the Head Master/Principal/Director/ Head of the Institution in the State of West Bengal from which the candidates have passed 10+2 Examination in the year 2024 only.
The candidate who is domicile to the West Bengal are eligible to participate in State Quota, AYUSH Private College Management Quota seats and AYLISPI Private college Central quota seats in WB provided they are otherwise eligible for such seats as discussed later in this notice.
Management Quota in the Private AYUSH colleges in West Bengal in 2024 are also going to be filled up by online counseling which is to be conducted by WBMCC. The candidates qualified for NEET UG 2024 (UR/EWS cut off 50 percentile; UR PwD/EWS PwD cut off 45 percentile; SC/ST/OBC/OBC A/OBC B/SC PwD/ST PwD/OBC PwD/OBC A PwD/OBC B PwD cut off 40 percentile) are eligible for management quota seats. Their documents will also be verified at the time of admission. The candidates who are not domicile in the State of West Bengal are eligible for Management Quota seats in Private AVUSH colleges in West Bengal. They are also eligible for AYUSH Private College Central quota seats in West Bengal.
For admission in Management Quota seats the domicile certificate is not required for the allotted candidate. However they are required to produce other essential original documents as discussed in the later part of the notice for verification before securing admission in the allotted seat. It must be kept in mind by the candidates that allotment in the Management Quota is based purely on combined merit rank of NEET UG 2024 as there is no caste or PwD reservation in such seats.
Caste status of candidate: - if the candidate, who is domicile in the State of West Bengal, selects OBC A or OBC B* during filling up of category in Online Application form, then the candidate shall have to produce a valid certificate ISSUED BY AUTHORITY IN West Bengal Only at the Physical Document Verification venue(both in pre and post allotment verification process), otherwise the candidate is treated as Unreserved for allotment of seats for State Quota Counseling provided the candidate has obtained 50 percentile marks (that is the cut off marks for UR [Unreserved] candidate in NEET UG 2024 exam).
The OBC A or OBC B candidates if belong to creamy layer, will not be considered as reserved category candidates. 9f the OBC A or OBC B certificate is issued before 01.04.2024*, then the candidate has to provide the Non-creamy layer (NCL) certificate issued by same authority who issued earlier caste certificate. WB Domicile OBC A or OBC B candidate, who belong to creamy layer or who do not provide proper income certificate in support of being non creamy layer, shall be considered as Unreserved for allotment of seats in State Quota counseling provided the candidate has obtained 50 percentile marks (that is the cut off marks for UR [Unreserved] candidate in NEET UG 2024 exam).

Delhi AIIMS engaged in extensive research with Nobel Prize Ambitions, says Director M Srinivas
New Delhi: Dr M Srinivas, Director of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) New Delhi, has expressed optimism that If India has to get a Nobel prize in physiology or medicine, then it is probably going to be from AIIMS Delhi and the institute is ''working on that vision''.
According to the PTI report, he said AIIMS-Delhi is doing a lot of research on various diseases, which are country-specific and can have a social impact, but pointed out that doctors at the premier facility have to devote more time for patient care than research.
Outlining his vision for India's premier hospital and medical institute for putting it on the global map, Dr Srinivas in an exclusive interview with PTI Editors said looking into diseases, which are specific to India, will help in understanding them and framing policies for disease mitigation.
"In the area of research we have definitely taken a lead. You have to understand that if we don't do the research for the diseases which are important and geographically specific to our nation, who else will do it," he said.
He said the focus, whether it is through the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Indian Council of Medical Research or AIIMS, is to look into the health problems in the country and find out what are the research areas and what needs to do done.
"In research, in a larger context, what we can say is that if India has to get a Nobel prize in physiology or medicine then probably it is going to be from AIIMS-Delhi. We are working on that vision," Dr Srinivas said, news agency PTI reported.
He, however, flagged that their counterparts abroad can focus exclusively on research but AIIMS-Delhi has to look after patient care and teaching as well.
"Our time goes more on patient care and less on research at AIIMS-Delhi. When we see a patient who requires our care, needs intervention and the patient is dying in front of us obviously we will spend more time with the patient. If we have to get a Nobel prize we have to be totally focused," Dr Srinivas said, adds PTI.

Clinical Trial finds Adding Certain Anticoagulant Drugs ineffective for Stroke Patients
Stroke patients who survive a blood clot in the brain's blood vessels are prone to developing new blockages during their recovery periods, even if they receive vessel-clearing interventions. In an effort to avoid further clots, doctors at 57 sites around the U.S.
tested a possible solution: the addition of anti-coagulant drugs to medicine that dissolves blood clots.But results from the clinical trial, led by Opeolu Adeoye, MD, head of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, indicate two such drugs did not improve outcomes. The findings are published in The New England Journal of Medicine.“We’re a little disappointed in the results,” said Adeoye, who is also the BJC HealthCare Distinguished Professor of Emergency Medicine. “But it’s meaningful to optimal patient care that we’ve answered the question definitively. Neither of the drugs helps prevent further clots.”The goal of the Multi-arm Optimization of Stroke Thrombolysis (MOST) clinical trial that Adeoye led was to test the efficacy of adding argatroban, a blood thinner, or eptifibatide, which inhibits blood platelets from sticking together, to the routine intravenous thrombolysis treatment.The trial closed the chapter on this potential use of these medications, but Peter Panagos, MD, professor of emergency medicine and co-author on the study, said that efforts like these inform future advances in medicine, including potential new anti-coagulant treatments.“Without negative trials, we would not know how to design new trials,” Panagos said. “Future success is built upon the hard work of previous research effort.”Physicians do not have a lot of treatment options for patients who experience a stroke. Some patients undergo a procedure to remove the clot. Others receive intravenous thrombolysis to relieve the affected blood vessel through clot-dissolving medication delivered to the bloodstream. A number of patients receive both interventions.“Even with those treatments, over half of patients still have a significant disability three months after their stroke," said Adeoye, who treats patients at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Missouri Baptist Medical Center and also provides stroke telemedicine consultation. "After you give the thrombolysis, the clot can re-form, which contributes to the stroke worsening or persisting.”Preventing these clots with an additional treatment of anti-coagulant drugs seemed like a promising idea, especially as there are FDA-approved medications that earlier studies had suggested could be effective.In the MOST trial, patients were randomly assigned to receive either argatroban, eptifibatide or placebo. Adeoye explained that the study had checkpoints built in to ensure that treatment outcomes were meeting efficacy thresholds in order to continue. The first checkpoint was set at 500 patients, which the team reached in 2023.“When we looked at the data, it was readily apparent that neither drug was going to come anywhere close to our threshold,” he said.In fact, the probability that either drug was helpful was less than 1%. Worse still, argatroban and eptifibatide were linked to greater incidences of disability and mortality within the three-month post-treatment observation window.This correlation was not necessarily alarming; the safety monitors on the project found that the deaths appeared to have causes unrelated to the medications. The lack of improvement noted with the medications compared with what was noted with the placebo was reason enough to call off the trial.Reference: Adeoye O, Broderick J, Derdeyn CP, Grotta JC, Barsan W, Bentho O, Berry S., Concha M, Davis I, Demel S, Elm J, Gentile N, Graves T, Hoffman M, Huang J, Ingles J, Janis S, Jasne AS, Khatri P, Levine SR, Majjhoo A, Pancioli A, Panagos P, Pizzella S, Ranasinghe T, Sabagha N, Sivakumar S, Streib C, Vagal A, Wilson A, Wintermark M, Yoo AJ, Barreto AD.

JAMA Study finds No link between GLP-1 analogues and suicide
There has been concern that common diabetes drugs could increase the risk of suicide and self-harm. In a new study, led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and published in Jama Internal Medicine, no such risk increase was observed.
Drugs of the type GLP-1 analogues lower blood sugar levels and are used by millions of people worldwide. They are mainly used to treat diabetes, but drugs such as Ozempic have also been shown to be effective against obesity, which has increased their popularity.
At the same time, both American and European drug authorities have warned that there may be risks associated with the drugs.
Last year, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) launched an investigation following around 150 reported possible cases of suicidal thoughts and self-injury with use of GLP-1 analogues.
The investigation was completed in the spring and based on the limited data available at the time, it concluded that there were no obvious connections. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet can now further support this conclusion. They have analyzed large amounts of data from people treated with GLP-1 analogues in Sweden and Denmark .
"We found no clear link between the use of the drugs and an increased risk of suicide death, self-harm or depression and anxiety-related disorders. This is reassuring." says Björn Pasternak, principal researcher at the Department of Medicine, Solna, Karolinska Institutet, and one of the study's lead authors.
The data includes approximately 300,000 adults aged 18–84 who started treatment with either GLP-1 analogues or SGLT2 inhibitors, another type of diabetes medication, during the years 2013–2021.
After a mean follow-up period of just over two years, there was no apparent increase in the proportion of people who committed suicide, engaged in self-harm, or suffered from depression or anxiety-related disorders among users of GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Peter Ueda, assistant professor at the same department and one of the study's main authors, nevertheless emphasizes the importance of larger studies as more data is collected.
"It is important to specifically examine people with previous self-harm or suicidal thoughts as they are at increased risk and it is possible that the drug’s safety profile differs in this group," he says.
