Spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery in a laboring patient with known cranial arachnoid cyst: a case report.

Arachnoid cysts are fluid-filled cavities that are usually asymptomatic and do not require surgical intervention. However, there are concerns and limited literature on the safety of neuraxial procedure in obstetric patients with cranial arachnoid cysts. We describe the anesthetic management of a pregnant patient with a large arachnoid cyst with mass effect on the cerebellum who presented in labor.

Factors influencing direct breastfeeding of preterm infants in neonatal wards and the provision of breastfeeding support: a qualitative systematic review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this review will be to synthesize the qualitative evidence on factors that influence direct breastfeeding of preterm infants in neonatal wards and the provision of breastfeeding support.

Introduction: Breastmilk is critical for the health of preterm neonates, and infants who directly feed at the breast are more likely to receive breastmilk exclusively for longer periods. Direct breastfeeding is associated with improved maternal coping and development of maternal identity.

Concept Mapping: An Innovative Approach to Clinical Case Analysis in an Undergraduate Medical Education Curriculum in Social Sciences, Humanities, Ethics, and Professionalism.

Although ethics is increasingly integrated in the curriculum of U.S. medical schools, it remains not well integrated with system issues, and social and structural contexts of illness.

Uncovering Backbone Conformation for Rigid DPP-Based Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymer Using Deuterium Labeling and Neutron Scattering.

The conjugated polymer's backbone conformation dictates the delocalization of electrons, ultimately affecting its optoelectronic properties. Most conjugated polymers can be viewed as semirigid rods with their backbone embedded among long alkyl side chains. Thus, it is challenging to experimentally quantify the conformation of a conjugated backbone.

Newly qualified general nurses' experiences of pre-registration internship: A Republic of Ireland cross-sectional study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine Newly Qualified General Nurses' (NQGNs') experiences of and the value of the internship period.

Background: Internship was introduced as the final part of the undergraduate nursing degree in Ireland in 2002. The aim was to provide students with clinical experience, whereby they work more independently and in doing so, seamlessly progress their transition to the role of registered nurse.
