Lived Experiences of Hemodialysis Health Care Workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Study from the Quebec Renal Network.

Key Points: Hemodialysis workers' well-being and work were affected by the COVID-19 pandemics. Effective communication strategies and taking into account psychological distress are ways to mitigate the challenges faced by health care workers.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted health systems and created numerous challenges in hospitals worldwide for patients and health care workers (HCWs).

Natural switches in behaviour rapidly modulate hippocampal coding.

Throughout their daily lives, animals and humans often switch between different behaviours. However, neuroscience research typically studies the brain while the animal is performing one behavioural task at a time, and little is known about how brain circuits represent switches between different behaviours. Here we tested this question using an ethological setting: two bats flew together in a long 135 m tunnel, and switched between navigation when flying alone (solo) and collision avoidance as they flew past each other (cross-over).

Lived Experiences of Patients Receiving Hemodialysis during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Study from the Quebec Renal Network.

Background: Hemodialysis patients have faced unique challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. They face high risk of death if infected and have unavoidable exposure to others when they come to hospital three times weekly for their life-saving treatments. The objective of this study was to gain a better understanding of the scope and magnitude of the effects of the pandemic on the lived experience of patients receiving in-center hemodialysis.

Effect of phototherapy on cardiorespiratory activity during sleep in neonates with physiologic jaundice.

Background: Phototherapy is considered the standard of care for neonatal jaundice. However, its short-term cardiorespiratory effects have not been studied thoroughly.

Objectives: To assess the cardiorespiratory effect of phototherapy during sleep in term infants with physiologicjaundice.
