Clinical validation of the Air-Test for the non-invasive detection of perioperative atelectasis in children.

Background: The incidence of anesthesia-induced atelectasis in children is high and closely related to episodes of hypoxemia. The Air-Test is a simple maneuver to detect lung collapse. By a step-reduction in FiO2 to 0.

Urban and suburban's airborne magnetic particles accumulated on Tillandsia capillaris.

Air particle pollution is a current issue that can cause adverse problems to human health and the urban environment. A fraction of these emitted particles is magnetite and iron-rich materials, which may be accumulated by biological indicators and effectively characterized by environmental magnetism methods. Thus, we studied this emitted particle fraction using the epiphytic species Tillandsia capillaris growing in northwestern Argentina's urban, suburban, and rural areas.

The 2023-2026 Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association Research Agenda.

The Hospice and Palliative Nursing Association established the triannual research agenda to ( a ) provide focus for researchers to conduct meaningful scientific and quality improvement initiatives and inform evidence-based practice, ( b ) guide organizational funding, and ( c ) illustrate to other stakeholders the importance of nursing research foci. HPNA Research Agendas are developed to give direction for future research to continue advancing expert care in serious illness and ensure equitable delivery of hospice and palliative care.
