The differential impact of early graft dysfunction in kidney donation after brain death and after circulatory death: Insights from the Dutch National Transplant Registry.

Kidneys donated after circulatory death (DCD) perform similarly to kidneys donated after brain death (DBD). However, the respective incidences of delayed graft function (DGF) differ. This questions the donor type-specific impact of early graft function on long-term outcomes.

Restoring Psychiatric Mental Health APRN Roles: A Report of Innovations in Workforce Development Design Supported by Salutogenic Solutions and an Enduring Educational Frame, Part Two.

Background: The change from clinical nurse specialist to nurse practitioner model with emphasis on the biomedical prescriber role significantly affected graduate education/practice.

Aim/method: This article reports solutions, lessons learned, and insights from faculty in a four-year Workforce Development Project supported by an academic-practice partnership. Lessons learned that are shared as administrative and clinical practice insights include use of experiential learning platform and interaction process recordings, confirmation of the state of nurse psychotherapy blocks to clinical placements, movement toward a salutogenic psychosocial nursing process, changing student evaluation language of preceptors, and implementation of an Advanced Practice Nursing model for clinical supervision.

Restoring Psychiatric Mental Health APRN Roles: A Report of Innovations in Workforce Development Design Supported by Salutogenic Solutions and an Enduring Educational Frame, Part One.

Background: The change from a clinical nurse specialist to nurse practitioner model has significantly affected graduate education and practice because of emphasis on the dominant biomedical prescriber role, marginalizing the nurse-psychotherapy and consultation-liaison roles fundamental to quality psychiatric advanced practice nursing practice.

Aim/method: We report on a four-year Workforce Development Project supported by an academic-practice partnership to restore formation and skill building of the marginalized roles. Part One focuses on program design, the curriculum for nine specialty courses, and the teaching and learning community approach that promotes engagement, faculty commitment, and preceptor recruitment and retention; the creative faculty staffing model is described.

Digital biomarkers for non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease: the state of the art.

Digital biomarkers that remotely monitor symptoms have the potential to revolutionize outcome assessments in future disease-modifying trials in Parkinson's disease (PD), by allowing objective and recurrent measurement of symptoms and signs collected in the participant's own living environment. This biomarker field is developing rapidly for assessing the motor features of PD, but the non-motor domain lags behind. Here, we systematically review and assess digital biomarkers under development for measuring non-motor symptoms of PD.
