Physical inactivity increases risks of cardiovascular disease, poor mental health, and morbidity. School-based physical activity (PA) promotion can reach children from differing backgrounds in a large proportion of their waking hours. Education outside the classroom (EOtC) is an PA-integrating pedagogical approach that aligns PA with the primary goals of schools and is therefore thought to present an acceptable, feasible, and efficacious model for school-based PA.

To address these issues, patient- and family-centered care has been recommended to alleviate the burdens associated with critical illness and ICU admission. We have developed the patient- and FAMily-centered care in the adult ICU intervention (FAM-ICU intervention).

Article Synopsis
- - The study compared one-year outcomes of lower (8 kPa) and higher (12 kPa) oxygenation targets in ICU patients with COVID-19 and severe hypoxaemia, involving 726 randomly assigned patients.
- - Findings showed that 33.6% of patients in the lower-oxygenation group died, compared to 39.1% in the higher-oxygenation group, suggesting a potential benefit of the lower target, though results were not statistically significant (p = 0.11).
- - Health-related quality of life assessments indicated no significant differences between the two groups, with the lower-oxygenation group having a median EQ-VAS score of 50 vs 40 for the higher group (p
Nephron loop-vessel countercurrent arrangement in the medulla provides the structural basis for the formation of concentrated urine. To date, the morphogenesis of it and relevant water and solutes transportation has not been fully elucidated. In this study, with immunohistochemistry for aquaporins (AQP) and Na-K-2Cl co-transporter (NKCC2), as well as 3D visualization, we noticed in embryonic day 14.

Materials And Methods: We did a three-round Delphi survey with a panel of ICU health care professionals from 23 ICUs in Denmark. In round 1, participants answered 20 open-ended questions, based on existing evidence.
