Gao Z, Tan FPL. Nurses' experiences in response to COVID-19 in a psychiatric ward in Singapore. Int Nurs Rev 2021; 68:196-201. [PMID: 33894062 PMCID: PMC8250929 DOI: 10.1111/inr.12680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2020] [Revised: 02/27/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Aim To understand nurses’ responses to COVID‐19 and identify their uptake of changes in the procedure required for the management of COVID‐19 in an inpatient psychiatric ward. Background The infection risk for COVID‐19 in an enclosed inpatient psychiatric ward is high due to living arrangements in the ward and the nature of the infectious disease. Introduction This paper describes inpatient nurses’ experiences, challenges and strategies deployed at the institutional and national levels to contain the spread of infection. Methods Written feedback was collected to understand nurses’ responses and identify their uptake of changes in procedure following the COVID‐19 outbreak in the ward. Findings Nurses felt shocked, worried, isolated, expressed a lack of confidence, and experienced physical exhaustion. COVID‐19 specific challenges were highlighted in the delivery of safe and quality nursing care. Nurses were satisfied with the hospital policy and strategies implemented during the outbreak, acknowledging the importance of support from nursing leaders. Discussion Practical support and strong nursing leadership have been imperative in the battle against the COVID‐19 outbreak in the psychiatric hospital. Psychiatric nursing care was maintained with a modified management and treatment approach. Implications for Nursing practice Nurses' willingness to adjust to the reconfiguration of operations to accommodate changes has been crucial for the healthcare system to run effectively. Good practices and policies established during this crisis should be developed and established permanently in nursing practice. Implications for Health Policy Prompt and effective contingency planning and policymaking at the national and institutional level, targeting human resource management and infection control, can introduce changes and alternative options for nursing care in a pandemic. Conclusion With support from influential nursing leaders, strategies and policies are imperative in ensuring the successful management of COVID situations in an inpatient psychiatric setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was performed to assess the clinical value of measuring the intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) concentration 1 day after total thyroidectomy to estimate the occurrence of permanent hypoparathyroidism (pHPP). METHODS Data of 546 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy from February 2008 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Calcium and iPTH concentrations were collected preoperatively and at 1 day and 6 months postoperatively. Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between clinical indexes and postoperative pHPP. RESULTS Of the 546 patients, 22 (4.03%) developed pHPP. Multivariate analysis showed that the iPTH and serum calcium concentrations measured 1 day after surgery were independent predictors of the risk of pHPP. An iPTH concentration of 5.51 pg/mL measured 1 day postoperatively was used as the cut-off value, and the area under the curve was 0.956. The risk of pHPP was identified with a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 85.1%, positive predictive value of 22%, and negative predictive value of 100%. CONCLUSIONS The iPTH concentration measured 1 day after total thyroidectomy is closely related to the occurrence of pHPP postoperatively and is an independent predictive risk factor. The postoperative iPTH concentration can be helpful in identifying patients at risk for developing pHPP.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Microscopic colitis (MC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon characterized by lymphocytic infiltration with (collagenous colitis) or without (lymphocytic colitis) the expansion of collagen fibres, and the normal macroscopic appearance of the mucosa on ileocolonoscopy. Recent studies have shown that the ileum may be involved in MC, occurring concurrently with colonic disease, however there is sparse literature on isolated lymphocytic ileitis without colitis.
Aims
We describe the case of isolated small bowel lymphocytosis without evidence of lymphocytic colitis to highlight the utility of random biopsies of the terminal ileum in cases where microscopic colitis is a diagnostic consideration.
Methods
A 70-year-old female known for cutaneous mastocytosis presented with six weeks of abdominal pain, non-bloody diarrhea, intolerance to oral intake and significant weight loss. Computed-tomography showed evidence of possible mesenteric panniculitis. Colonoscopy revealed a normal colon and normal-appearing mucosa of the terminal ileum. Random mucosal biopsies were taken to assess for microscopic colitis, with terminal ileal biopsies revealing significant lymphocytic infiltration consistent with lymphocytic ileitis. Biopsies throughout the colon revealed normal colonic mucosa without evidence of concurrent microscopic colitis. Gastroscopy was macroscopically unremarkable and random biopsies in the stomach and duodenum were negative for Helicobacter pylori and lymphocytosis. Immunostaining of the gastric, duodenal, terminal ileal and colonic biopsy specimens were negative for CD25, CD117 and tryptase, indicating the absence of gastrointestinal mastocytosis.
Results
The patient was diagnosed with lymphocytic ileitis and given the known response of MC to budesonide, she was treated with eight weeks of budesonide with clinical improvement leading to remission of her symptoms.
Conclusions
This case illustrates a rare incidence of isolated ileal microscopic ileitis without colitis that responded well to standard MC treatment, thereby underscoring the utility of random biopsies in the terminal ileum and throughout the colon when microscopic colitis is on the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Magnetic foreign bodies ingestion is a special cause for attending emergency department. Here, we aim to analyze the characteristics and treatments of children who ingested magnetic foreign bodies (Buckyballs). Data were collected from children who ingested Buckyballs between February 2017 and October 2019. A retrospective analysis was performed to summarize the experiences of conservative treatment, gastroscopy and surgery when dealing with Buckyballs ingestion.A total of 49 patients with buckyballs ingestion were identified, of whom 11 underwent conservative treatments, 6 underwent gastroscopy, and 32 underwent surgery. Among such individuals, eight patients (72.7%) had a successful conservative treatment (number of Buckyballs [NB]: 3.5[IQR: 2.0-4.0]); four patients (66.7%) had Buckyballs successfully removed by gastroscopy (NB: 3.5[IQR: 3.0-5.5]); 16 asymptomatic (50%) patients (NB: 4.0[IQR: 3.0-8.0]) and 16 symptomatic (50%) patients (NB: 8.5 [IQR: 6.25-11.75]) received emergency surgery. Compared to patients who received conservative treatment, the number of ingested Buckyballs was significantly higher in patients who received surgery or gastroscopy (7.0 [IQR: 3.0-10.75] vs 3.5 [IQR: 2.0-4.0], P < .05). The risk of intestinal perforation was significantly higher in symptomatic patients (P < .05) compared to asymptomatic patients.Gastroscopy is recommended when Buckyballs are in the stomach or esophagus. In asymptomatic patients, conservative treatment can be considered for 4 to 6 days. Patients failing conservative treatment, or those who are symptomatic should undergo emergency surgery.

Abstract
The generation of angular momentum in the fission process is still an open question. To shed light on this topic, we started a series of measurements at the IGISOL-JYFLTRAP facility in Finland. Highprecision measurements of isomeric yield ratios (IYR) are performed with a Penning trap, partly with the aim to extract average root-mean-square (rms) quantities of fragment spin distributions. The newly installed Phase-Imaging Ion-Cyclotron Resonance (PI-ICR) technique allows the separation of masses down to tens of keV, which is suffcient to disentangle many isomers. In this paper, we first summarize the previous measurements on the neutron and proton-induced fission of uranium and thorium, e.g. the odd cadmium and indium isotopes (119 ≤ A ≤ 127). The measurements revealed systematic trends as function of mass number, which stimulated further exploration. A recent measurement was performed at IGISIOL and several new IYR data will soon be published, for the first time. Secondly, we employ the TALYS nuclear-reaction code to model one of the newly measured isomer yields. Detailed GEF and TALYS calculations are discussed for the fragment angular momentum distribution in 134I.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the clinical application of preoperative retrograde portal venography for children with cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV). METHODS The clinical data of 8 cases of CTPV admitted in the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University from January 2018 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative retrograde portography was performed to determine the corresponding vascular morphology and size of portal vein system. If the retrograde portography showed that the left branch of the shadow portal vein was unobstructed and its diameter was greater than 3 mm, Rex shunt would be performed after anatomic exploration of Rex recess; if retrograde portography showed that the diameter of left portal vein was less than 3 mm, but the diameter of left renal vein dissected during shunt operation was greater than 5 mm, Warren operation was selected. The patients were followed up for 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge, and then were followed up every 6 months. RESULTS Retrograde portal venography was successfully performed in 8 child patients.The anatomical position and size of main portal vein and its left and right branches, left renal vein and other important vessels were determined. Among them, there was the well-developed left and right branches of portal vein in 4 child patients, in which the left and right branches of portal vein converged together, but did not communicate with the main portal vein. In addition, the left branch diameter of the portal vein was greater than 3 mm, and the anatomical exploration results during shunt were consistent with it, so Rex shunt was performed. In the other 4 cases, the left branch diameter of the portal vein was small (less than 3 mm) in 3 cases, and the right branch was not clearly developed. Moreover, the left branch of the portal vein was poorly developed and almost occluded in 1 case. However, the left renal vein in these 4 child patients was well developed, the blood flow was unobstructed and the diameter was greater than 5 mm, so Warren operation was performed. Seven patients recovered well after the operation, and the other one had digestive tract rudimentary one year after operation, and the condition was stable after conservative treatment. CONCLUSIONS The preoperative retrograde portal venography can be used to evaluate the portal vein system in children with CTPV, which provides important clinical basis for making appropriate treatment plan before surgery.

Abstract
Background The exact factors and mechanisms involved in the development of hematoma after breast ultrasound (US)-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) are not clear. This study aimed to analyze the occurrence, prognosis, and risk factors of hematoma after US-guided VAB for the removal of benign breast lesions. Methods This was a retrospective study of consecutive female patients with breast lesions (BI-RADS 3/4a/4b and confirmed as benign by core needle biopsy) removed by percutaneous excisional biopsy by US-guided VAB at the Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from April 2016 to December 2018. Univariable analyses were conducted to identify the factors associated with hematoma (age, nodule size, laterality, nodule location, number of nodules, BI-RADS classification of ultrasound, pathology, breast shape, menstrual period, efficacy time of bandage, and hemostatic agents). Multivariable analysis was performed to identify the factors independently associated with hematoma. Results A total of 293 patients (343 breast lesions) were included. Lesion removal was successful in all cases. Hematomas ≥1 cm were found in 39 patients. Finally, 38 (97.4%) hematomas were absorbed completely within 6 months. The multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that lesion size (P<0.001; OR: 5.775; 95% CI: 2.752-12.121), number of lesions (P=0.011; OR: 3.205, 95% CI: 1.311-7.834), and the efficacy time of bandage 12-24 h (P=0.003; OR: 5.257, 95% CI: 1.792-15.421) were independently associated with hematoma occurrence after US-guided VAB excision of breast lesions. A lesion size cut-off of 23.4 mm (AUC 0.764, 95% CI: 0.692-0.837; 59.0% sensitivity; 80.3% specificity; 77.5% accuracy; P<0.001) could predict hematoma occurrence. Conclusions US-guided excisional VAB can effectively remove benign breast lesions. The factors independently associated with postoperative hematoma are lesion size, lesion number, and effective postoperative compression time of bandage.

Abstract
Objective: Aanalysis the effect of booster one dose of hepatitis B vaccine after 21-32 years of primary immunization in Zhengding Country of Hebei Province. Methods: A total of 322 participants who were born between 1986 and 1996, received a full course of primary vaccination with plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccine (HepB), had no experience with booster vaccination, were HBsAg, anti-HBcnegative, had anti-HBs<10 mIU/ml, completed the booster and had laboratory results were enrolled between August 2017 to February 2018. A simple random method was uesd to randomly assigned 322 subjects to two groups, receiving a booster dose of HepB derived from either Saccharomyces cerevisiae [HepB (SC), (151 cases)] or Chinese hamster ovary-derived HepB [HepB (CHO), (171 cases)], the dose was 20 μg. Blood samples were collected 30 days after boosting and quantitatively tested for the geometric mean concentration (GMC) of anti-HBs to assess immunological effect. The related influencing factors of GMC and seroconversion rates of anti-HBs were analyzed by multiple linear regression and multivariate logistic regression models. Results: The 266 subjects (82.61%) had anti-HBs≥ 10 mIU/ml, and GMC was (131.63±12.94) mIU/ml.The seroconversion rates of anti-HBs in the anti-HBs<2.5 mIU/ml group and 2.5-10 mIU/ml group were 74.54% (161 cases) and 99.06% (105 cases), respectively (P<0.001).The seroconversion rates of anti-HBs after one dose of HepB (CHO) was higher than that of one dose of HepB (SC), the seroconversion rates were 87.13% (149 cases) and 77.48% (117 cases), respectively (P=0.023). Participants boostered with HepB (CHO) was the factor influencing the effect of strengthening immunization compared with boostered with HepB (SC), and OR (95%CI) was 1.91 (1.02-3.56) (P=0.042).Compared with anti-HBs<2.5 mIU/ml, prebooster anti-HBs was between 2.5 mIU/ml and 10 mIU/ml was the related factor of seroconversion rates of anti-HBs after booster immunization, and OR (95%CI) was 36.15 (4.91-266.02) (P<0.001). Conclusion: Participants boostered withone dose of HepB had a good immune response. Pre-booster anti-HBs concentration and a variety of vaccine were related factors of immune response.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its individual components on long-term prognosis of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods: Patients who underwent PCI in Fuwai Hospital in 2013 were enrolled and divided to two groups: with MS and without MS. The primary endpoint of 2-year follow-up was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including death, myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularization. Results: Of the 10 422 PCI patients, there were 5 656 (54.27%) without MS and 4 766 (45.73%) with MS. Patients in the MS group were younger, tended to be male and had more comorbidities. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the proportion of drug-coated stents and the success rate of interventional therapy. The 2-year follow-up showed that the incidence of MACE in the MS group was significantly higher than that in the MS-free group (12.0% vs 10.0%, P<0.001), which was mainly due to the significantly higher revascularization rate in the MS group than in the non-MS group (9.5% vs 7.9%, P=0.003). Cox's regression analysis showed that MS was an independent risk factor for MACE. In MS component analysis, abnormal glucose metabolism was an independent risk factor for MACE events. Conclusions: Among the patients undergoing PCI, the incidence of MACE in patients with MS is significantly higher than that in patients without MS, and MS was an independent risk factor for MACE. In addition, hyperglycemia is an independent predictor for MACE.

Abstract
AIM The present study examined the associations between night-time sleep duration, midday napping duration and bedtime, and fasting glucose levels, and whether or not such associations are dependent on gender and age. METHODS This study was a cross-sectional analysis of 172,901 adults aged≥40 years living in mainland China. Sleep duration was obtained by self-reports of bedtime at night, waking-up time the next morning and average napping duration at midday. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG)≥7.0mmol/L was defined as hyperglycaemia. Independent associations between night-time sleep duration, midday naptime duration and bedtime with hyperglycaemia were evaluated using regression models. RESULTS Compared with night-time sleep durations of 6-7.9h, both short (<6h) and long (≥8h) night-time sleep durations were significantly associated with an increased risk of hyperglycaemia in women [odds ratio (OR): 1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.29 and OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.08-1.21, respectively], and revealed a U-shaped distribution of risk in women and no significant association in men. Long midday nap durations (≥1h) were significantly but weakly associated with hyperglycaemia (OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.09) compared with no napping without interactions from gender or age, whereas the association between bedtime and fasting glucose levels did vary according to gender and age. CONCLUSION Night-time sleep duration, midday napping duration and bedtime were all independently associated with the risk of hyperglycaemia, and some of the associations between these sleep characteristics and hyperglycaemia were gender- and age-dependent.

Abstract
We report the most precise measurements to date of the strong-phase parameters between D^{0} and D[over ¯]^{0} decays to K_{S,L}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} using a sample of 2.93 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} annihilation data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. Our results provide the key inputs for a binned model-independent determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle γ/ϕ_{3} with B decays. Using our results, the decay model sensitivity to the γ/ϕ_{3} measurement is expected to be between 0.7° and 1.2°, approximately a factor of three smaller than that achievable with previous measurements, based on the studies of the simulated data. The improved precision of this work ensures that measurements of γ/ϕ_{3} will not be limited by knowledge of strong phases for the next decade. Furthermore, our results provide critical input for other flavor-physics investigations, including charm mixing, other measurements of CP violation, and the measurement of strong-phase parameters for other D-decay modes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Measles is a highly infectious illness requiring herd immunity of 95% to interrupt transmission. China has not reached elimination goals despite high vaccination coverage. We estimated the population susceptibility against measles in Tianjin, China and to tailor awareness raising activities in the measles elimination plan. METHODS Age-specific measles seroprevalence was evaluated by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) on 12,164 individual aged 0-44 years in 2009-2018. Measles IgG avidity testing was performed to confirm the relationship of the waning immunity after vaccination and secondary vaccination failures (SVF) on 324 confirmed measles cases in 2013-2018. RESULTS 11,108 samples (91.32%) tested positive for measles IgG, 239 (1.96%) tested as equivocal and 817 (6.72%) were negative. The age distribution of measles cases in Tianjin followed a U-shaped curve and was highest for those at <8 months and again at 20-39 years which correlated closely with the age distribution of measles susceptibility based on measles IgG antibody status (r = 0.72, P < 0.001). The seropositivity rate and antibody geometric mean concentration (GMC) for the 2018 study population were significantly lower (χ2 = 7.45, P = 0.006 and t = 12.01, P < 0.001) compared to 2009. The multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that age and region were the risk factors for both measles seropositivity rate and GMC after vaccination. The proportion of high avidity cases increased with age, being significantly higher in 75.31% of cases in patients aged 30-34 years (χ2 = 18.04, P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS High immunization coverage in children alone will not be adequate to realizing sufficient levels of population herd immunity, particularly given that the potential susceptibility window in adult. Implementation of supplemental immunization activity (SIA) targeted to appropriate group aged 30-34 years is recommended.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in middle-age is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, population-based studies supporting its cardiovascular contribution at earlier stages of development are lacking, particularly with long-term follow-ups.
Methods
The Penn State Child Cohort is a population-based longitudinal sample of 700 children (8.7±1.7y), of whom 421 were followed-up 8.3 years later during adolescence (17.0±2.3y) with in-lab polysomnography (PSG). To date, 425 have been followed-up another 7.4 years later during young adulthood (24.4±2.6y) via a standardized survey and 136 of them (55.1% female, 21.3% racial/ethnic minority) have undergone a repeat of their PSG to ascertain apnea/hypopnea index. Subjects (n=121) also underwent Doppler ultrasounds to assess flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). Linear regression models stratified by body mass index in young adulthood.
Results
SDB was cross-sectionally associated with lower FMD (β=-0.239, p=0.008) and greater CIMT (β=0.330, p<0.001) in young adulthood. Longitudinally, childhood (n=121) and adolescence (n=90) SDB were significantly associated with CIMT (β=0.327, p<0.001 and β=0.286, p=0.006, respectively), but not with FMD (β=-0.158, p=0.08 and β=-0.101, p=0.35, respectively). These associations, particularly longitudinal ones between childhood and adolescence SDB with CIMT in young adulthood, were stronger in overweight than normal weight subjects (e.g., β=0.310, p=0.030 and β =0.089, p=0.582, respectively).
Conclusion
SDB and obesity appear to be synergistically associated with endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis in young adults from the general population. These data suggest that a childhood exposure to chronic SDB is associated with long-term atherosclerosis, while endothelial dysfunction may be a short-term outcome. This ongoing 16-year longitudinal study will test whether the natural history of SDB from childhood through adolescence into young adulthood shows differential trajectories for cardiovascular morbidity.

JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2020; 70. [PMID: 32203940 DOI: 10.26402/jpp.2019.6.14] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2019] [Accepted: 10/30/2019] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Streptozotocin (STZ) is commonly used to induce diabetes mellitus in experimental animal studies on peripheral diabetic neuropathy (PDN). Animals with STZ model of diabetes commonly develop changes in test stimulus-evoked pain behavior. However, it is still unclear whether rats with STZ model of diabetes have ongoing pain. Here we assessed whether STZ-induced diabetes induces ongoing pain-like behavior in male rats using conditioned place-preference (CPP) paradigm. CPP was tested in the fourth week of diabetes by pairing one chamber of the CPP device with vehicle and another chamber with either pregabalin (an established analgesic; 30 mg/kg i.p.; n = 9) or Chembridge-5861528 (a TRPA1 channel antagonist; 30 mg/kg i.p.; n = 9). After drug-pairings, the animals were allowed to choose which chamber they preferred. Mechanical sensitivity was assessed with monofilaments and chemonociception in the skin by determining mustard oil-induced pain behavior. Diabetic animals developed in two weeks mechanical hypersensitivity that changed into hyposensitivity by the fourth week. Mustard oil-induced sustained pain was reduced by the 4th week. After 4 weeks of diabetes, neither pregabalin nor the TRPA1 antagonist induced a significant overall change in the median CPP, although both drugs significantly reduced median withdrawal responses evoked by noxious mechanical stimulation. Pregabalin-induced CPP, however, had a significant positive correlation with the sustained pain behaviour induced by topical mustard oil. In conclusion, the present results suggest that the response to topical mustard oil may predict ongoing pain-like behavior in the STZ model of diabetes.

Abstract
Using a total of 11.0 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data with center-of-mass energies between 4.009 and 4.6 GeV and collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, we measure fifteen exclusive cross sections and effective form factors for the process e^{+}e^{-}→Ξ^{-}Ξ[over ¯]^{+} by means of a single baryon-tag method. After performing a fit to the dressed cross section of e^{+}e^{-}→Ξ^{-}Ξ[over ¯]^{+}, no significant ψ(4230) or ψ(4260) resonance is observed in the Ξ^{-}Ξ[over ¯]^{+} final states, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level on Γ_{ee}B for the processes ψ(4230)/ψ(4260)→Ξ^{-}Ξ[over ¯]^{+} are determined. In addition, an excited Ξ baryon at 1820 MeV/c^{2} is observed with a statistical significance of 6.2-6.5σ by including the systematic uncertainty, and the mass and width are measured to be M=(1825.5±4.7±4.7) MeV/c^{2} and Γ=(17.0±15.0±7.9) MeV, which confirms the existence of the J^{P}=3/2^{-} state Ξ(1820).

Abstract
For the production of exotic nuclei at the IGISOL facility, an ion guide for neutron-induced fission has been developed and tested in experiments. Fission fragments are produced inside the ion guide and collected using a helium buffer gas. Meanwhile, a GEANT4 model has been developed to simulate the transportation and stopping of the charged fission products. In a recent measurement of neutron-induced fission yields, implantation foils were located at different positions in the ion guide. The gamma spectra from these foils and the fission targets are compared to the results from the GEANT4 simulation.
In order to allow fission yield measurements in the low yield regions, towards the tails and in the symmetric part of the mass distribution, the stopping and extraction efficiency of the ion guide has to be significantly improved. This objective can be achieved by increasing the size while introducing electric field guidance using a combination of static electrodes and an RF-carpet. To this end, the GEANT4 model is used to optimise the design of such an ion guide.
