Influences on safety of intrapartum electronic fetal heart rate monitoring practices: a scoping review.

Objectives: Suboptimal intrapartum electronic fetal heart rate monitoring using cardiotocography has remained a persistent problem (EFM-CTG). We aimed to identify the range of influences on the safety of using EFM-CTG in practice.

Design: Scoping review to identify influences related to the practice of intrapartum EFM.

Distinct autoregulatory roles of ELFN1 intracellular and extracellular domains on membrane trafficking, synaptic localization, and dimerization.

Synaptic adhesion molecules are essential components of the synapse, yet the diversity of these molecules and their associated functions remain to be fully characterized. Extracellular leucine rich repeat and fibronectin type III domain containing 1 (ELFN1) is a postsynaptic adhesion molecule in the brain that has been increasingly implicated in human neurological disease. ELFN1 is best known for trans-synaptically modulating group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs).

Using electronic health records to classify risk for adverse safety events with ICU patient Mobility: A Cross-Sectional study.

Background: Integrating early mobility (EM) expert consensus recommendations into an algorithm that uses electronic health record (EHR) data provides an opportunity for ICU nurse decision support.

Objective: This study aimed to compare clinical differences in ICU EM algorithm domains among patients with and without documented EM and examine discordance between algorithm classification and documented EM.

Methods: Secondary analysis of EHR data from adults admitted to the ICU from one health system's electronic data warehouse.

Two-step or one-step - are all methods for neonatal incubator decontamination equal?

Healthcare-associated pathogens, including Staphylococcus capitis, can contaminate incubator surfaces and are of significant concern in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Effective incubator decontamination is essential for infection prevention and control, with submersion decontamination often recommended. This may not always be achievable, with wipe decontamination seen as an alternative.
