Expanding community-based participatory action research practices to clubhouses through sustainable research activities.

Objective: There is growing utilization and acknowledgement of the benefits of community-based participatory action research (CBPAR) in advancing health practices and equity. However, the sustainability and full impact of CBPAR in health care settings faces many obstacles and limitations. The present article examines the synergies between CBPAR and Clubhouse programs, presents the demonstration and ongoing implementation of sustainable CBPAR practices at Fountain House in New York City, and offers lessons learned for other Clubhouses and similar programs seeking to integrate CBPAR.

Patient Malnutrition Risk or Number of Initial Nutrition Intervention Categories Can Be Used to Develop Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Staffing Models in the Inpatient Adult and Pediatric Hospital Setting: A Cohort Study.

Background: More data are needed to guide evidence-based, inpatient registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) staffing models.

Objective: Identify relationships between: 1) patient malnutrition risk or intervention categories and estimated total RDN care time ("care time"); and 2) care time and emergency department (ED) visits.

Design: This study was a prospective cohort study with data collection via RDN surveys, patient interviews, and medical record review.

Role of the neonatal registered dietitian nutritionist in Canada: A description of staffing and a comparison to practices in the United States.

Background: Neonatal registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) are critical members of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) team. Ideal RDN staffing levels are unknown. Current staffing levels of neonatal RDNs in Canadian NICUs have not been recently reported.

Hearing preservation outcomes using direct cranial nerve eight and auditory brainstem response neuromonitoring in the resection of vestibular schwannomas.

Objective: Advancements in microsurgical technique and technology continue to improve outcomes in patients with skull base tumor. The primary cranial nerve eight monitoring systems used in hearing preservation surgery for vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are direct cranial nerve eight monitoring (DCNEM) and auditory brainstem response (ABR), although current guidelines are unable to definitively recommend one over the other due to limited literature on the topic. Thus, further research is needed to determine the utility of DCNEM and ABR.
