Comparison of Predictable Ability Measure Using Examinations and Nursing Licensure Success.

End-of-program predictive examinations have been in existence in nursing education for over 10 years. Nursing schools have used these examinations to prepare students on the testable content from National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), which has been delivering the NCLEX-RN since 1994. Nursing students, in the final semester of the nursing program, took the Predictable Ability Measurement Readiness (PAMR) 1 and/or 2.

Olanzapine for young PEople with aNorexia nervosa (OPEN): results of a feasibility study.

Background: Despite the availability of evidence-based treatments for anorexia nervosa (AN), remission rates are moderate, and mortality is high. Olanzapine is used as adjunct therapy for AN in case of insufficient response to first-line treatments, even though the evidence is limited. Its effect on eating disorder (ED) psychopathology, its efficacy and tolerability, and its acceptability and adherence rate are unclear.

Unveiling Factors Influencing Mortality in Irish Hip Fracture Patients: A Comprehensive Five-Year Analysis.

Background: Hip fractures impose a substantial healthcare burden, contributing to increased morbidity, disability, and mortality. The Irish Hip Fracture Standards (IHFS) were officially employed in 2017, providing specialized pathways for hip fracture care to improve patient outcomes. This study evaluated the performance of our unit regarding hip fracture care and analyzed individual outcome parameters.

A screen for cell envelope stress uncovers an inhibitor of prolipoprotein diacylglyceryl transferase, Lgt, in .

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance demands the discovery of antibacterial chemical scaffolds with unique mechanisms of action. Phenotypic screening approaches, such as the use of reporters for bacterial cell stress, offer promise to identify compounds while providing strong hypotheses for follow-on mechanism of action studies. From a collection of ∼1,800 GFP transcriptional reporter strains, we identified a reporter that is highly induced by cell envelope stress-pProm -GFP.

Behavioral assessment and treatment of pica: a brief report.

Pica is a life-threatening behavior that is relatively common among individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Pica can be conceptualized as a response chain in which the pica item acts as a discriminative stimulus for the next response (i.e.
