Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on work engagement among nonclinical hospital workers, highlighting its importance during healthcare pressures, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
- An observational survey at Jeroen Bosch Hospital measured work engagement during acute and chronic pressures, finding average levels, with nonclinical workers experiencing lower dedication under acute stress.
- The findings suggest that co-worker support is crucial for enhancing engagement, especially among nonclinical staff, indicating the need for hospitals to prioritize supportive environments during stressful times.
Background: High-output intestinal fistulas and small bowel enterostomies are associated with morbidity and mortality. Current standard treatment for output reduction consists of fluid and dietary restrictions and medical therapy. There is conflicting evidence regarding the use of somatostatin analogues for output reduction.

- The paper reviews magnetoelastic sensors, focusing on their application for measuring bending forces rather than compressive forces.
- Bulk sensors made from transformer sheets or amorphous alloys are described, noting the challenges posed by compressive force measurements.
- Experimental results indicate that higher frequency signals and larger excitation currents enhance sensor performance, while modifications to the winding geometry can improve linearity.

Background: The management and care of older patients with multiple health problems is demanding and complex. Interprofessional and intraprofessional collaboration has the potential to improve both the efficiency and the quality of care for these patients. However, it has proven difficult to demonstrate the efficacy of this approach in terms of objective patient-related outcomes.
