Strengthening couple relationships through a digital connection.

The proliferation of technology has accelerated exponentially over the past 50 years. Contemporarily, researchers have explored the influences technology use is having on individuals and relationships. Theoretical frameworks such as the couple, family, and technology (CFT) Framework have been applied to individuals and couples in committed relationships to better understand the implications of technology adoption and use within this relational subsystem.

Comparison of PD-L1 (22C3) Expression in Paired Primary and Metastatic Breast Carcinoma.

Introduction: PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) is being used as a predictive marker of the benefit derived from immunotherapy in several cancer types, including breast cancer. However, the insight gleaned of the prognostic and predictive value of PD-L1 status and its correlation with molecular characteristics during breast cancer progression remains limited.

Methods: We performed an PD-L1 (22C3) assay in pre-treatment primary and metastatic tumor sections from 33 patients with breast carcinoma, matched for post neoadjuvant chemotherapy (p-NACT).

Procedural sedation of adult patients in the emergency department: a best practice implementation project.

Introduction: The emergency department is a fast-paced and complex health care setting, where critical care is provided to patients of all ages. However, various environmental factors, such as high patient volumes, overburdened staff, and frequent nurse turnover, can hinder the use of evidence-based practices during procedural sedation. Proper patient monitoring is essential to prevent adverse events during procedural sedation.

Barriers and facilitators for implementing a nurse residency program for new graduate nurses: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map any barriers or obstacles to implementing a nurse residency program for new graduate nurses, and any facilitators that could ease the process of implementing a nurse residency program.

Introduction: One way to prevent new nurse graduate turnover and reduce the organizational cost of training new nurses is to proactively address their burnout and stress. Organizations can reduce high levels of new nurse graduate turnover and ensure these graduates are competent in nursing practice by implementing a nurse residency program.
