Background: This study was undertaken to understand the role of the Health Care Assistants and how they negotiate roles and responsibilities with Registered Nurses in adult acute hospitals.
Methods: The qualitative approach of focused ethnography used non-participant observation and interviews with staff from four acute wards. Field notes and interview data, analysed using NVIVO10, moved data from description through explanation, interpretation and identification of themes.
Article Synopsis
- * The study introduces enhanced modeling techniques for neutrino flux and detector response, and it distinguishes between starting (inside) and throughgoing (outside) neutrino interaction events to improve energy resolution.
- * The findings indicate a best-fit point for the 3+1 model with sin²(2θ_{24})=0.16 and Δm_{41}²=3.5 eV², supporting previous studies while showing consistency with no evidence of sterile neutrinos, as reflected
Unlabelled: Administering zoledronic acid (ZA) to older hip fracture patients during the hospital stay has faced safety concerns. However, in this study of 161 patients, no ZA-related side effects or readmissions were observed, demonstrating that ZA administration during hospitalization is safe and effective for secondary fracture prevention.
Purpose: According to the 2022 Dutch 'Osteoporosis and fracture prevention' guideline, zoledronic acid (ZA) is the preferred osteoporosis treatment for hip fracture patients.
Objective: Hypofractionation has become the new clinical standard for prostate cancer. We investigated the management of acute toxicity in patients treated with moderate hypofractionation (MHF) or Ultrahypofractionation (UHF).
Methods: In a prospective cohort setting, patients (N=316) received either MHF (20 fractions of 3/3.
Background And Purpose: A novel Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) named HyperSight provides superior CBCT image quality compared to conventional ring gantry CBCT imaging, and it is suitable for dose calculations for prostate cancer, but it comes with considerable additional costs. The aim of this study was to determine the added value of HyperSight CBCT imaging compared to conventional CBCT imaging in terms of organ visibility in the male pelvic region.
Materials And Methods: Twenty prostate cancer patients were included in this prospective clinical study.
