A Candida auris Outbreak and Its Control in an Intensive Care Setting.

Background: Candida auris is an emerging and multidrug-resistant pathogen. Here we report the epidemiology of a hospital outbreak of C. auris colonization and infection.

Modelling job support, job fit, job role and job satisfaction for school of nursing sessional academic staff.

Background: Sessional academic staff are an important part of nursing education. Increases in casualisation of the academic workforce continue and satisfaction with the job role is an important bench mark for quality curricula delivery and influences recruitment and retention. This study examined relations between four job constructs - organisation fit, organisation support, staff role and job satisfaction for Sessional Academic Staff at a School of Nursing by creating two path analysis models.

The experience of sessional teachers in nursing: A qualitative study.

Background: Worldwide, there is a growing reliance on sessional teachers in universities. This trend is reflected in an undergraduate nursing program in a large Australian metropolitan university where a significant proportion of contact hours is staffed by sessional teachers, yet little is known about what type of support is needed for sessional teachers to optimise their capacity to contribute to the academic program.

Objectives: To describe the experiences of sessional teachers in a Bachelor of Nursing program in an Australian university.

Increased bradykinesia in Parkinson's disease with increased movement complexity: elbow flexion-extension movements.

The present research investigates factors contributing to bradykinesia in the control of simple and complex voluntary limb movement in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. The functional scheme of the basal ganglia (BG)-thalamocortical circuit was described by a mathematical model based on the mean firing rates of BG nuclei. PD was simulated as a reduction in dopamine levels, and a loss of functional segregation between two competing motor modules.
