Nurse resilience took a hard hit during the COVID-19 pandemic and is showing signs of stabilization. Nationally, nurse leaders ask for guidance to better support frontline nurses. We conducted a review of literature to identify interventions to improve nurse resilience.

Currently, various commercial systems offer built-in alert algorithms to identify cows requiring attention. To our knowledge, no work has been done to compare the use of models accounting for herd-level variability on their predictive ability against automated systems.

- Automated milk feeders (AMF) have improved the management of group-housed replacement calves by reducing labor needs and enhancing calf welfare.
- This study analyzed data from over 10,000 Holstein calves to develop resilience indicators based on milk consumption variability, helping assess how well calves cope with environmental stressors.
- Genetic correlations were explored between milk intake, treatment for respiratory disease, and resilience traits, revealing significant phenotypic variability and low heritability estimates for resilience metrics.
Aim: To highlight oversimplified quality-adjusted life year (QALY) calculations and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) regarding lifestyle metformin and placebo as flaws in the trial-based (Diabetes Prevention Program) cost-effectiveness analysis.
Materials And Methods: We revised the QALY calculations to conform to convention and calculated appropriate ICERs using both original and revised QALYs results. We used several additional health economics tools to present results, showing the consistency of each method and the added value of each.
