Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of I-PASS-structured (Identification-Patient-Action-Situation-Synthesis) bedside nursing handovers on the handover global quality and the patients trust in nurses.
Background: Oral end-of-shift nursing handovers can become moments of patient vulnerability. Moving handovers from nurses' offices to patients' bedsides is a means of improving them; however, implementing this remains a challenge.
Intergenerational connectedness broadly encompasses relations among humans, lands, and all living and spiritual beings, and functions as an important part of Indigenous well-being. Many public health campaigns and interventions aim to promote connectedness to support holistic wellness and reduce health inequities. Currently, however, there are no measurement tools to assess intergenerational connectedness to support culturally grounded research and program evaluation.

Its ubiquitinase and deubiquitinase activities mediate proteasomal degradation within the NF-κB pathway. This study investigated the involvement of A20 signaling alterations in podocytes in the development of kidney injury.

These materials can exhibit electrical magnetochiral anisotropy (eMChA) or the chirality induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. Several families of chiral tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-based donor molecules have been successfully used with acceptors or simple anions to prepare chiral molecular conductors.

Despite its increasing prevalence, agreement in the field as to the cause is elusive. Weakness in pelvic floor muscles is implicated, but specific structural changes remain unclear.
