Objective: To describe practicum experiences as perceived by nurse leader preceptors of graduate students in a nursing administration practicum.
Background: Practicum experiences in graduate nursing administration programs provide students with exposure to the real-life experiences of nurse leaders, bridging the gap between academic knowledge gained and the application of that information to the workplace. The literature lacks best practices for graduate nursing administration practicum experiences.
Introduction: Unmet needs in the older population with cancer are complex due to aging-related health conditions. A review of unmet needs in older people with cancer showed that needs varied among different cancer types. In lung cancer, a higher incidence of geriatric syndromes and comorbidities exist compared to other cancer cohorts, impacting treatment tolerance and completion.

Extending prior AVI research focusing on noncognitive constructs, the present study critically evaluates the possibility of assessing cognitive ability with AVIs. By developing and examining AVI ML models trained to predict measures of three cognitive ability constructs (i.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to describe the IPI among women with OASI and to compare women with OASI based on the route of subsequent obstetric delivery and OASI recurrence.
Study Design: This was a retrospective single-cohort study of women who had an OASI between 2013 and 2015 at a tertiary academic medical center.
Aim: To describe the pre-implementation context and implementation approach, for a clinician researcher career pathway.
Background: Clinician researchers across all health disciplines are emerging to radically influence practice change and improve patient outcomes. Yet, to date, there are limited clinician researcher career pathways embedded in clinical practice for nurses and midwives.
Aim: To determine the effects of nurse-coordinated interventions in improving readmissions, cumulative hospital stay, mortality, functional ability and quality of life for frail older adults discharged from hospital.
Design: Systematic review with meta-analysis.
Methods: A systematic search using key search terms of 'frailty', 'geriatric', 'hospital' and 'nurse'.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of a novel, co-designed, digital AF educational program, 'INFORM-AF', to reduce re-hospitalisation of people with AF. The secondary aims are to examine the effect of the intervention on: (a) reducing cardiovascular-related hospitalisation, (b) increasing medication adherence, AF-related knowledge, and Atrial fibrillation (AF)-related quality of life and (c) determining the cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
Background: AF is an increasingly prevalent cardiac arrythmia that involves complex clinical management.
Difficulties in reasoning about others' mental states (i.e., mentalising/Theory of Mind) are highly prevalent among disorders featuring dopamine dysfunctions (e.

However, it is not known if The Delirium OSCE Education Package is superior to standard methods of professional development education.
Objective: To determine if The Delirium OSCE Education Package is superior to standard methods of professional development education on observations of delirium care in practice scores for post-registration nurses.
Introduction: Rapid translation of research findings into clinical practice through innovation is critical to improve health systems and patient outcomes. Access to efficient systems of learning underpinned with real-time data are the future of healthcare. This type of health system will decrease unwarranted clinical variation, accelerate rapid evidence translation, and improve overall healthcare quality.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association of neighborhood-level SES with the decision of surgical versus conservative POP management.
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients newly diagnosed with POP at a tertiary medical center between 2015 and 2021.
Introduction: Few studies evaluate the interplay of attending and resident learning curves in surgical education. Anastomotic time is known to be correlated with transplant outcomes in kidney transplantation. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between the combination of resident and attending experience and anastomotic time in kidney transplantation.

Importance: Data on the incidence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP)-related pain, risk factors for its development, and treatment effects of surgery remain sparse.
Objectives: The aims of the study were to evaluate the incidence and characteristics of POP-related pain in patients presenting with POP and assess the outcome of pain after surgery.
Study Design: This was a retrospective study of patients presenting for initial evaluation of POP from May 2019 to May 2020.
Introduction: Utilization of hepatitis C viremic (HCV+) deceased donor kidneys (DDKT) for aviremic recipients increases opportunities for transplantation with excellent short-term outcomes. Our primary aim was to understand longer-term outcomes, specifically assessing kidney and liver function in the first year posttransplant.
Methods: This was a retrospective single-center study of adult DDKT recipients of HCV+ kidneys (cases) matched 1:1 to recipients of HCV- kidneys (comparators).
Introduction And Hypothesis: Social media content related to patient experiences and education continues to grow. Information on how obstetric perineal lacerations are represented on social media is limited. Our goal is to characterize available social media content on obstetric perineal lacerations.

This literature review sought to describe the current state of the literature on the patient experience of SCAD and consequences for patients following a SCAD event from the patient perspective. To better understand how people's experiences of SCAD affect their wellbeing, quality of life, lifestyles, and identity, and what would be useful from the patient perspective, an integrative review was performed.

In this article, we review recent evidence that epilepsy may be an initial manifestation of an amyloidopathy or tauopathy that precedes development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Patients with LOEU demonstrate an increased risk of cognitive decline, and patients with AD have increased prevalence of preceding epilepsy.

Unfortunately, the holistic assessment of personal qualities in college admissions is opaque and resource intensive. Can artificial intelligence (AI) advance the goals of holistic admissions? While cost-effective, AI has been criticized as a "black box" that may inadvertently penalize already disadvantaged subgroups when used in high-stakes settings.

Recent Findings: Despite the high frequency of urinary disorders in obstetrics, screening and management protocols are rarely utilized by providers. Large variation exists in the literature regarding assessment of postpartum urinary retention, values of postvoid residuals and management of indwelling catheters in the immediate postpartum population.
Importance: Published data about the impact of poststroke seizures (PSSs) on the outcomes of patients with stroke are inconsistent and have not been systematically evaluated, to the authors' knowledge.

Identifying shared common biological pathways and biomarkers of the epileptogenic process initiated by the different injuries may lead to novel targets for preventing the development of epilepsy. We systematically reviewed biofluid biomarkers to test their association with the risk of post-brain injury epilepsy.
