Axial Growth and Myopia Progression After Discontinuing Soft Multifocal Contact Lens Wear.

Importance: For myopia control to be beneficial, it would be important that the benefit of treatment (slowed eye growth) is not lost because of faster than normal growth (rebound) after discontinuing treatment.

Objective: To determine whether there is a loss of treatment effect (rebound) after discontinuing soft multifocal contact lenses in children with myopia.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The Bifocal Lenses in Nearsighted Kids 2 (BLINK2) cohort study involved children with myopia (aged 11-17 years at BLINK2 baseline) who completed the BLINK Study randomized clinical trial.

Feasibility Testing of a Nurse-Invented Urinary Drainage Bag Securement Device.

Purpose/aims: To determine the feasibility of a nurse invention called the Bag Below Bladder (B3) Buddy using validated usability and acceptability tools, in securing urinary drainage bags while patients ambulate.

Design: An intervention study was implemented in a participant dyad consisting of a patient and clinician. Each dyad used the B3 Buddy in 1 encounter, ambulating at least 90 ft in an inpatient unit.

The Impact of Patient Assaults and Aggressive Behaviors on Nursing Personnel's Stress, Well-being, and Intention to Leave Post-COVID-19 Pandemic.

Aim: To describe and compare the prevalence of assaults and aggressive patient behavior among frontline staff in behavioral health (BH), medical-surgical (MS), and emergency department (ED) settings and examine the impact on staff health, work stress, work engagement, and intent to leave their position.

Background: Patient verbal and physical assaults have significant staff consequences, including decreased work productivity, increased burnout, job dissatisfaction, absenteeism, turnover, and intentions to leave.

Methods: Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, data were collected from a sample of 432 frontline staff working in ED, BH, and MS settings across 3 healthcare systems.

Predicting the onset of myopia in children by age, sex, and ethnicity: Results from the CLEERE Study.

Significance: Clinicians and researchers would benefit from being able to predict the onset of myopia for an individual child. This report provides a model for calculating the probability of myopia onset, year-by-year and cumulatively, based on results from the largest, most ethnically diverse study of myopia onset in the United States.

Purpose: This study aimed to model the probability of the onset of myopia in previously nonmyopic school-aged children.

A retrospective cohort study describing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients treated with EPOCH ± R: does HIV status matter?

The frontline immuno-chemotherapy regimen for HIV-associated non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is dose-adjusted EPOCH ± R (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and rituximab). Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), caused by vincristine, is a common adverse effect of EPOCH ± R, negatively impacting long-term patient outcomes. The primary objective of this study was to determine the incidence of CIPN, stratified by HIV status, in patients treated with EPOCH ± R.
