Heart rate patterns of captive Asian elephant () in their natural habitat at Wild Elephant Valley, Xishuangbanna of China.

There are few studies on the changes of heart rate of the Asian elephant (), one of the largest tropical terrestrial mammals, with its self-factors and external environment. By measuring the heart rate of 35 Asian elephants, ranging in age from 4 months to 52 years, using a non-invasive electrocardiogram sensor in their natural habitat at Wild Elephant Valley, Xishuangbanna of China, we found factors that significantly influenced the HR were season, phase of the day, age, body weight, and the interaction between some of the above factors. We also observed that Asian elephants had lower resting heart rate in the morning of hot season than the cold and mild season, and the differences were significant, but the heart rate increased to similar levels in the afternoon regardless of the season.

Exploring the nurses' experiences in recognising and managing clinical deterioration in emergency patients: A qualitative study.

Background: Emergency Department (ED) patients are particularly at a high risk of deterioration. The frontline nurses are key players in identifying and responding to deterioration events; however, few studies have sought to explore the whole process of recognition and management of clinical deterioration by emergency nurses.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of emergency nurses and provide a whole picture of how they recognise and manage clinical deterioration.

The effectiveness of education strategies for nurses to recognise and manage clinical deterioration: A systematic review.

Objectives: To identify, critically appraise and synthesise evidence on the efficacy of education strategies for nurses to recognise and manage clinical deterioration, as well as provide recommendations for standardised educational programmes.

Design: A systematic review of quantitative studies.

Methods: Quantitative studies published in English between 1 January 2010 and 14 February 2022 were chosen from nine databases.

Is a single dose of commonly used antibiotics effective in preventing maternal infection after cesarean section? A network meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of different antibiotic classes and dosages in preventing maternal infection after cesarean delivery.

Methods: Databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between January 1980 and January 2021 on antibiotic use for the prevention of maternal infection after cesarean delivery. The outcomes were endometritis, febrile morbidity, and wound infection, reported as odds ratios (OR) and surface under the cumulative ranking curve analysis scores.

Using NEWS2 to triage newly admitted patients with COVID-19.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread globally and caused a major worldwide health crisis. Patients who are affected more seriously by COVID-19 usually deteriorate rapidly and need further intensive care.

Aim: We aimed to assess the performance of the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) as a risk stratification tool to discriminate newly admitted patients with COVID-19 at risk of serious events.

Demands and countermeasures for outpatients and emergency patients during the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 in large general hospital.

Objectives: To discuss the demands and countermeasures for outpatients and emergency patients during the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in large general hospital.

Methods: By analyzing patients' demands, outpatient service system and emergency system complemented each other with the help of "internet medical" to provide online medical treatment, self-diagnosed pneumonia program, online pharmacies, outpatient appointment and online pre-examination services, open green channels for special patients, and to provide referral services for critical patients. The COVID-19 suspected patients and other common fever patients were separated from other patients.

Assessment of effective conservation of the Sichuan takin by giant panda reserves through functional zoning.

The flagship species conservation strategy is widely practiced in nature reserves. However, few studies have quantitatively explored whether the current functional zoning adequately conserves the habitats of other species. To examine this problem, we selected the Tangjiahe, Xuebaoding, and Wanglang national nature reserves in southwest China and tested the protective efficiency of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) reserves on a local herbivore-Sichuan takin (Budorcas taxicolor tibetana) in functional zoning.
