Influence of Nursing Time and Staffing on Medication Errors: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Administrative Data.

: Medication errors cause adverse events; however, studies have yet to examine medication errors related to nursing hours while considering ward characteristics in Japan. Purpose: This study investigated medication errors caused by nurses to quantitatively assess ward activity as busyness in nursing duties. : This study considered patients hospitalized in the general wards of 10 National Hospital Organization institutions between April 2019 and March 2020.

Crystal Growth and Structural Analysis of Layered Lithium Titanium Sulfide.

Layered sulfide crystals are suitable hosts for lithium and sodium ions in batteries. In this study, new layered lithium titanium sulfide (LTS) crystals were grown in a sealed silica tube using a LiS self-flux at 800-950 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis results indicated the formation of a new sulfide phase with higher symmetry in the Li-Ti-S system.

Heterozygous Eif4nif1 Stop Gain Mice Replicate the Primary Ovarian Insufficiency Phenotype in Women.

We created the c.1286C>G stop-gain mutation found in a family with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) at age 30 years. The Eif4enif1 C57/Bl6 transgenic mouse model contained a floxed exon 10-19 cassette with a conditional knock-in cassette containing the c.

Impact of Nurse Staffing Levels on Patient Fall Rates: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study in General Wards in Japan.

: Falls are common adverse events among hospitalized patients, affecting outcomes and placing a financial burden on patients and hospitals. This study investigated the relationship between nurse staffing/workload and patient falls during hospitalization. : The patients studied were hospitalized in the general wards (excluding pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecology) of 11 National Hospital Organization institutions between April 2019 and March 2020.

Detection of anti-MGL_1304 IgE using the ImmunoCAP system for diagnosis of type I allergy to sweat.

Background: Type I allergy to sweat is involved in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) and cholinergic urticaria (CholU), with MGL_1304 from Malassezia globosa being the major causative antigen. Currently, no standard diagnostic test exists for sweat allergy that uses serum.

Methods: The ImmunoCAP (iCAP) system to measure antigen-specific IgE was developed using recombinant MGL_1304 (rMGL_1304).
