Exploring the feasibility of home-delivered capsule endoscopy with 5G support: innovations and carbon footprint insights.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant global health threat, necessitating early detection. Traditional diagnostic tools like optical colonoscopy have limitations prompting our '5G-SUCCEEDS' initiative to explore a novel approach involving remote colon capsule endoscopy (CCE).

Methods: This prospective feasibility study was conducted at a single hospital in England.

Efficacy of beta blockers in the management of problem behaviours in people with intellectual disabilities: a systematic review.

Both medication and non-medication based strategies are used in the management of problem behaviours in individuals with intellectual disabilities. Beta-adrenoceptor blocking medications are one group of drugs used for this purpose. However, despite its regular use, the evidence for the efficacy of these drugs for in this context is lacking.

Evaluating parents' perspectives of pediatric ethics consultation.

Ethics consultation is a familiar concept to clinicians, and there are site-specific guidelines detailing procedures for both obtaining and performing these consults. Evaluative data about clinician experiences with ethics consults are becoming more extensive but information about family experiences, especially parent perceptions, of the same is lacking. Without a better understanding of those family experiences, an evidence base for ethics consultations cannot be built.

Making research real: embedding a longitudinal study in a taught research course for undergraduate nursing students.

Learning how and why scholarly research underpins and informs professional nursing practice is a continual challenge for undergraduate nursing students. They find the language and methods of research to be unfamiliar and unsettling. The work of educators thus becomes the process of breaking down barriers to students' understanding of research processes and application.

Improving recording of capacity to consent and explanation of medication side effects in a psychiatric service for people with learning disability: audit findings.

This study aimed to examine the practice of psychiatrists in a large learning disability service in recording capacity to consent to treatment and side effect discussion, and the impact of measures aimed at improving this. Three audit cycles were completed between 2007 and 2009, each examining 26 case notes selected at random. Information was gathered on recording of capacity and documentation of explanation of potential side effects.

Great expectations: points of congruencies and discrepancies between incoming accelerated second-degree nursing students and faculty.

This study analyzes the expectations that incoming students and faculty bring to accelerated pre-licensure education programs for second-degree students. Although research supports the congruence of expectations between students and faculty as essential to learning, anecdotal evidence and single case reports suggest there may be important discrepancies in expectations of second-degree students and their faculty. Data are intended to support curriculum review, refinement, and innovation in these programs.

A road not taken: the proposal for a Harvard School of Nursing.

The modernist orientation of nurse leaders in the late nineteenth century directly impacted the future of nursing in the USA. Their orientation is explored in this article as a factor that may have contributed to the failure of the Harvard School of Nursing proposal - a road not taken in nursing education, a road that would have afforded nursing an early central role within the Harvardization of American post-secondary education. The backlash resulting from the attention that was given to Alfred Worcester and Annette Fiske's radical call for contextualization is explored.

Parents' views of involvement in concurrent research with their neonates.

It would be useful to researchers and bioethicists to know more about parents' decision processes and emotional state during the time they are deciding whether to enroll their infant in a clinical trial. The aim of this research study was to discover whether parents who had been previously asked to enroll their neonates in clinical trials would have found concurrent research about their decision-making overly burdensome. Twenty-seven parents of critically ill neonates who had been approached for their child's research participation in a clinical trial were asked what they believed about the potential burden or value of being interviewed during the time of research decision-making about their infant's participation.

The behavioral assessment scale: a measure of community living skills.

This study reports the development of a community living skills measure of long-term care AIDS residents. Community living skills impact numbers and types of care providers needed. The Behavioral Assessment Scale (BAS) used multiple sources of validity evidence to ensure community living skills construct representation.

Parents and professionals in the NICU: communication within the context of ethical decision making--an integrative review.

Communication between parents and professionals in the NICU is a necessary part of collaborative decision making in the provision of family-centered care. Decisions with ethical components, those regarding treatment plans or neonatal research enrollment, need to be made conjointly with parents and health care professionals. This article reviews the present state of knowledge of how parents' input can be facilitated in regard to decisions made about their children.

Exception from informed consent for pediatric resuscitation research: community consultation for a trial of brain cooling after in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Objectives: When prospective informed consent is not feasible, clinical research that presents more than minimal risk can proceed only after a community consultation and public disclosure process and the granting of exception from informed consent from the federal government. The applicability of exception from informed consent to pediatric resuscitation research has not been described. The objectives of this study were 1) to perform a community consultation and public disclosure process specific to a trial of induced hypothermia immediately after pediatric cardiac arrest and 2) to determine the applicability of exception from informed consent to randomized, controlled trials of emergency interventions after resuscitation from inpatient pediatric cardiac arrest.
