Causes, Diagnostic Testing, and Treatments Related to Clinical Deterioration Events Among High-Risk Ward Patients.

Importance: Timely intervention for clinically deteriorating ward patients requires that care teams accurately diagnose and treat their underlying medical conditions. However, the most common diagnoses leading to deterioration and the relevant therapies provided are poorly characterized.

Objectives: We aimed to determine the diagnoses responsible for clinical deterioration, the relevant diagnostic tests ordered, and the treatments administered among high-risk ward patients using manual chart review.

The Health and Well-Being of Women in Farming: A Systematic Scoping Review.

Objectives: Health and well-being have long been identified as key issues for investigation within agricultural communities. While myriad studies have been conducted to investigate causation, impact, outcomes and interventions among farming populations, the overall emphasis has been disproportionately weighted away from the experiences of women. This systematic scoping review determines the prevalence of topics, identifies the target populations and geographical locations of studies, outlines methodological approaches to the subject area, and summarizes the key findings and conclusions of the available literature.

Undergraduate Nursing Faculty Knowledge, Beliefs, and Experiences with Teaching LGBTQ+ Content: A Scoping Review.

Background: Nursing education research about inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) health content in undergraduate nursing curricula primarily focuses on student learning outcomes. There is less research evidence about the experiences of nursing faculty with teaching LGBTQ+ health topics.

Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to identify current evidence about pre-licensure, undergraduate nursing faculty knowledge, beliefs, and experiences with teaching LGBTQ+ content.

Proliferation of measures contributes to advancing psychological science.

Proliferation and variability of psychological measures are part of the natural workings of the scientific process. They contribute to theory development, transparency, replicability, and validity, and restricting proliferation might hinder progress in the psychological sciences.

Mule trains to mountain roads: the role of working mules in supporting resilient communities in the Himalayas.

Working equids play a central role in mountainous communities, but their work often goes unnoticed by the wider world, with sparse documentation of their role, value, or welfare - a state which often extends to their human counterparts. Communities living in the remote Manaslu Valley, Nepal, face a number of uncertainties, including extreme weather events due to the seasonal monsoon and, more recently, the construction of a new road network. Using semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and Equine Assessment Research and Scoping (EARS) welfare assessments, we outline the specific role of pack mules in supporting the lives of local people, explain the nuanced links between human experience and mule welfare, and gain insight into how people living in this volatile environment manage uncertainty and risk.
