Challenges of de-implementing feeding tube auscultation: A qualitative study.

Aim: This qualitative study explored de-implementation of feeding tube auscultation practice in adult patients by critical care nurses.

Background: Despite years of evidence suggesting inaccuracy and harm, auscultation (air bolus method) continues to be used by the majority of critical care nurses to verify small-bore feeding tube placement in adults.

Design: This descriptive qualitative study used thematic analysis with telephone interview data.

Coherent THz Emission Enhanced by Coherent Synchrotron Radiation Wakefield.

We demonstrate that emission of coherent transition radiation by a ∼1 GeV energy-electron beam passing through an Al foil is enhanced in intensity and extended in frequency spectral range, by the energy correlation established along the beam by coherent synchrotron radiation wakefield, in the presence of a proper electron optics in the beam delivery system. Analytical and numerical models, based on experimental electron beam parameters collected at the FERMI free electron laser (FEL), predict transition radiation with two intensity peaks at ∼0.3 THz and ∼1.

Expanding Horizons: A Pilot Mentoring Program Linking College/Graduate Students and Teens With ASD.

A small pilot program of 9 youth 13 to 18 years old with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or Asperger's syndrome assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of an individualized mentoring program. Youth met weekly for 6 months with trained young adult mentors at a local boys and girls club. Participants reported improvements in self-esteem, social anxiety, and quality of life.

Histo-anatomical leaf variations related to depth in Posidonia oceanica.

The purpose of our study is to explore the acclimation of Neptune seagrass (Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile) to depth by characterising the histo-anatomical leaf modifications. P.

Psychological model for judicial decision making in emergency or temporary child placement.

In emergencies, family court judges must often make rapid decisions, without benefit of thorough information, that have significant impact on people's lives. Action-oriented research was used to develop a model that would bring psychosocial factors to the legal system for the purpose of enhancing the judicial decision-making process in emergency and temporary child placement cases.
