Background: Nursing education has seen a shift towards simulation-based education (SBE) to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. Maryland's Clinical Simulation Resource Consortium (MCSRC) aimed to enhance SBE utilization; however, noted a decline in SBE usage post pandemic, prompting an investigation into nurse administrators' perspectives on replacing clinical hours with SBE.

Methods: This descriptive quality improvement study was informed by Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of the Family Strengthening Intervention for Early Childhood Development and Violence-Prevention (FSI-ECD + VP) in reducing household violence and improving parenting practices among vulnerable families in rural Sierra Leone.
  • It involved 80 dual-caregiver households, focusing on caregivers with children aged 6-36 months who showed difficulties in emotion regulation.
  • Results indicated that the intervention was seen as beneficial and feasible, leading to significant improvements in caregiver-child relationships compared to those receiving standard treatment.

This untargeted metabolomics study investigated the synergistic antibacterial activity of polymyxin B and Leu-teixobactin, a depsipeptide inhibitor of cell wall biosynthesis. Checkerboard microdilution assays revealed a significant synergy against polymyxin-susceptible and -resistant A. baumannii, excluding lipopolysaccharide-deficient variants.

Unlabelled: Zinc (Zn) is an essential cofactor for numerous bacterial proteins and altering Zn availability is an important component of host innate immunity. During infection, adaptation to both Zn deprivation and excess is critical for pathogenic bacteria development. To understand the adaptive responses to Zn availability of , a pathogen causing invasive infections of neonates, global transcriptional profiling was conducted.

A newly parameterized combined density functional theory and multi-reference configuration interaction (DFT/MRCI) Hamiltonian, termed core-valence separation (CVS)-QE12, is defined for the computation of K-shell core-excitation and core-ionization energies. This CVS counterpart to the recently reported QE8 Hamiltonian [Costain et al., J.
