Background: Instructors used generative artificial intelligence (AI) as a teaching tool in a third-year baccalaureate nursing leadership course to help students understand and critique a change management proposal.
Method: Instructors used generative AI to develop a sample section of a change proposal for students to critique in class followed by a class discussion.
Results: Using generative AI enabled instructors to quickly develop a sample section of a change proposal for students to critique.
New school transitions can be challenging for students on the autism spectrum. No published, evidence-based interventions exist to support families and teachers of students transitioning to elementary and secondary school during this critical period. Using Community Partnered Participatory Research, we developed Building Better Bridges (BBB), a caregiver coaching intervention that includes training on effective school communication, educational rights, advocacy, and child preparation strategies.

We wanted to test on barley whether any change in root-to-shoot ratio in response to low supply of nitrogen and phosphate is accompanied by changes in root and cell hydraulic properties and involves changes in aquaporin (AQP) gene expression and root apoplastic barriers (suberin lamellae, Casparian bands).
Methods: Plants were grown hydroponically on complete nutrient solution or on solution containing only 3.

Although most verrucae will spontaneously disappear without treatment, many patients seek treatment, often because they have persisted for many years, are unsightly or painful or prevent them from doing sports or other activities. There are many different treatments available; including the Falknor's needling procedure.

Foot health care provision does not yet meet this demand. In one locality in India, clinicians had an unstructured approach to foot health assessments resulting in poor adoption of evidence based guidelines from the West and a persistence of serious foot complications.

Published guidelines on optimal management of these patients recommend multidisciplinary care provision. There are few published data on the incidence of haematological complications in pregnant women with cardiac disease, although the data that does exist suggests a relatively high rate of bleeding and thrombotic events.

This was achieved by engaging clinicians in taking ownership of the problems and facilitating them in the identification of solutions to action change in clinical practice.
Methods: This was accomplished through facilitating participants in this study via a process of problem identification and planning, the first phases of an action research cycle approach.
