Outcomes of Radiosurgery for WHO Grade 2 Meningiomas: The Role of Ki-67 Index in Guiding the Tumor Margin Dose.

Background And Objectives: The management of World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2 meningiomas is complicated by their diverse clinical behaviors. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can be an effective management option. Literature on SRS dose selection is limited but suggests that a higher dose is better for tumor control.

Improved outcomes for triple negative breast cancer brain metastases patients after stereotactic radiosurgery and new systemic approaches.

Purpose: Although ongoing studies are assessing the efficacy of new systemic therapies for patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), the overwhelming majority have excluded patients with brain metastases (BM). Therefore, we aim to characterize systemic therapies and outcomes in a cohort of patients with TNBC and BM managed with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and delineate predictors of increased survival.

Methods: We used our prospective patient registry to evaluate data from 2012 to 2023.

The Safety of Body Wraps on Skin-to-Skin Care in the Neonatal Population: A Pilot Study.

Background: Despite well-established benefits of skin-to-skin care (SSC) for preterm infants and parents, standardized guidelines for implementation do not exist. Furthermore, the literature offers little evidence-based information to guide best practice.

Purpose: To discover whether SSC using a body wrap to hold preterm infants would increase the duration of SSC, decrease parental stress during SSC, and minimize adverse events to ensure that body wraps are safe and feasible.

Cough Causing Abdominal Pain? A Rapid POCUS Diagnosis of Rectus Sheath Hematoma.

We present a case of a 59-year-old man who arrived to the emergency department with abdominal pain and bruising after coughing. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) was used to make the diagnosis of rectus sheath hematoma (RSH). This diagnosis was made within minutes of arrival to the ED and subsequently confirmed on computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen.

Occupational Stress: A Concept Analysis with Implications for Immigrant Workers' Mental Health in the United States.

Background: Occupational stress is a phenomenon affecting people worldwide. Investigating occupational stress among immigrant worker populations will unravel some of the intricacies of this condition and its psychological effects on this population.

Aim: This paper conceptually examined occupational stress within the context of immigrant workers' mental health and offer an operational definition to aid nurse researchers, educators, and practitioners in assessing and managing patients and developing culturally appropriate interventions for this population.
