Background: The site of death is a crucial factor associated with the tumor's progression and complications arising from it; therefore, analyzing nationwide patterns in place of death is essential. The present paper aims to evaluate the disparities in place of death for malignant neoplasm of the meninges using the CDC-WONDER (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging ONline Data for Epidemiologic Research) database over 22 years (1999-2020).
Methods: CDC-WONDER data from 1999 to 2020 were analyzed to investigate mortality trends related to malignant neoplasm of the meninges.
Article Synopsis
- There is a continued need for pre-exposure prophylactic treatments against SARS-CoV-2, especially for vulnerable groups such as organ transplant recipients and those with certain health conditions.
- The PROTECT-V trial is evaluating multiple preventive agents in these populations while allowing for flexibility to add new treatments over time.
- The trial aims to measure symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections, currently testing approved agents like niclosamide, ciclesonide, and sotrovimab.
Background: Virtual Reality (VR) simulation has been a topic of interest in recent years as an innovative strategy for healthcare education. Although there are a handful of studies evaluating VR simulation on knowledge, motivation, and satisfaction; there is a paucity of evidence to evaluate the effectiveness, acceptability and usability of 'Immersive' VR (IVR) simulation in nursing students.
Objectives: A two-stage sequential mixed-methods feasibility study underpinned by gaming theory investigated; (1) the impact of IVR sepsis game on pre-registration nurses' self-efficacy and, (2) their perceptions of the acceptability and applicability of IVR sepsis game as an adjunct to nursing simulation education.
