Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the impact of an evidence-based sedation bundle for ICU patients requiring mechanical ventilation during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing the challenges posed by increased patient volumes.
- - Researchers implemented the sedation bundle using structured training and feedback, aiming to encourage goal-directed sedation to prevent excessive use of sedatives among critically ill COVID-19 patients.
- - A comparison of sedative use and clinical outcomes was made between patients admitted before and after the bundle implementation, revealing increased use of benzodiazepines and changes in patient care metrics.
Background: In the search to diversify protein sources for humans, oilseeds are good candidates due to the high protein content of their coproducts after oil extraction. Among them, rapeseed presents a well-balanced amino acid (AA) profile. Flaxseed is an emerging source but the nutritional value of its protein is not yet documented.

The two protocols are Traditional Care (TC), which uses incubators, and Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) which replaces incubators for 24-hour skin-to-skin contact between newborns and caregivers. We concentrate on educational outcomes addressing contradictory results in previous contributions.

Our aim was to determine whether providing KMC in infancy affected brain volumes in young adulthood.
Method: Standardised cognitive, memory and motor skills tests were used to determine the brain volumes of 20-year-old adults who had formed part of a randomised controlled trial of KMC versus incubator care.
