'I've heard of it but had nothing… not much to do with it': The experience of older people and their families with the Resident of the Day (ROD) process in Victorian aged care facilities.

Objectives: To explore the experiences of older people living in Australian residential aged care facilities (RACFs) and families of older people living in RACFs, regarding the process of Resident of the Day (ROD; sometimes referred to as a resident review) and their knowledge of how these assessments inform care planning.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were used to engage residents and families in conversations about their experiences and knowledge of the assessment associated with ROD and subsequent care planning. A reflexive thematic analysis was used to generate findings.

Spirituality, self-blame, and trauma symptoms among adolescents waiting for treatment after disclosing sexual abuse.

Background: Adolescents who have been sexually abused commonly experience trauma symptoms, and many spend considerable time waiting for treatment.

Objective: This study examines the extent to which adolescent perceptions of divine spiritual support, divine spiritual struggles, and self-blame collected during a screening assessment predict trauma symptoms at the beginning of treatment.

Participants And Setting: Participants were 224 adolescents (92.

A simulated 'can't intubate, can't oxygenate' manikin crossover study investigating a modified front-of-neck access airway device.

A 'can't intubate, can't oxygenate' (CICO) situation is an uncommon and time-critical emergency. Many institutions have adopted a 'scalpel-bougie-endotracheal tube (ETT)' technique based on evidence produced by the 4th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and 2015 Difficult Airway Society guidelines. We made a modification to the traditional 'scalpel-bougie-ETT' technique, using a shortened bougie and replacing the ETT with a cuffed Melker airway in a preassembled device (called 'Secure Airway for Front-of-neck Emergencies' (SAFE airway device)), which we felt might reduce cognitive load on a single operator in an emergency CICO situation.

Elevating Patient Care With Deep Learning: High-Resolution Cervical Auscultation Signals for Swallowing Kinematic Analysis in Nasogastric Tube Patients.

Patients with nasogastric (NG) tubes require careful monitoring due to the potential impact of the tube on their ability to swallow safely. This study aimed to investigate the utility of high-resolution cervical auscultation (HRCA) signals in assessing swallowing functionality of patients using feeding tubes. HRCA, capturing swallowing vibratory and acoustic signals, has been explored as a surrogate for videofluoroscopy image analysis in previous research.

An osmolarity dependent mechanism partially ameliorates retinal cysts and rescues cone function in a mouse model of X-linked retinoschisis.

Introduction: X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is a vitreoretinal dystrophy caused by gene mutations which disrupt retinoschisin-1 (RS1) function. Vital for retinal architecture, the absence of functional RS1 leads to the development of intraretinal cysts. Intravitreal injection of a gene therapy for treating XLRS caused ocular inflammation in high dose groups in a phase I/II clinical trial.
