Mindfulness Bundle Toolkit's Impact on Nurse Burnout.

Background: Nurse burnout is a widespread problem affecting nurses' physical and mental health and patients' satisfaction. Nurses in intensive care units designated for patients with COVID-19 during the pandemic reported experiencing higher levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and stress and exhaustion and lower levels of personal accomplishment. The current literature does not have a solution to combat burnout.

Large- and Small-Scale Syntheses of Donor-Free Rare-Earth Triiodides from the Metals and Ammonium Iodide.

Rare-earth triiodides free of donor solvents, LnI (Ln = Sc, Y, La-Lu), have been prepared in quantities as high as 76 g and in yields between 72% (Sc) and 98% (La) by the reaction between the corresponding metal and excess ammonium iodide in a two-step, one-pot procedure that is conducted in borosilicate glassware at temperatures of 350-430 °C in commercial tube furnaces. Procedures for both large-scale and small-scale syntheses are described, with specific examples for Ln = Sc, Y, La, Pr, Nd, Gd, Dy, Ho, and Lu. While the large-scale synthesis described here utilizes specialized glassware, the small-scale preparation may be performed in commercially available glassware.

Longitudinal profiles of the vaginal microbiota of pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal women: preliminary insights from a secondary data analysis.

Objective: Menopause is often accompanied by lowered Lactobacillus spp. relative abundance and increased abundance of diverse anaerobic/aerobic bacteria in the vaginal microbiota due in part to declines in estrogen. These microbiota are associated with urogenital symptoms and infections.
