Background: Presenteeism, a phenomenon in which employees attend work despite physical or mental limitations, is prevalent among nurses and has negative implications for patients, healthcare organizations, and nurses themselves.
Objective: We aimed to present the current state of knowledge on presenteeism in nursing, focusing on prevalence rates, reasons, influencing factors, and consequences.
Design: We performed an integrative review.
Migratory animals rely on multiple sites during their annual cycles. Deteriorating conditions at any site can have population-level consequences, with long-distance migrants seen as especially susceptible to such changes. Reduced adult survival caused by persecution at non-breeding sites has been suggested a major reason for the catastrophic decline of a formerly abundant, long-distance migratory songbird, the Yellow-breasted Bunting Emberiza aureola.

AS is generally recommended for tumors measuring ≤1 cm without aggressive cytological subtypes, risk of gross extrathyroidal extension (ETE), lymph node metastasis (LNM), or distant metastasis. AS requires careful patient selection based on various patient and tumor characteristics, and ultrasound (US) findings.

This study aimed to explore how patients and health professionals experience shared decision-making and its facilitators and barriers.
Methods: A multiple qualitative case study design was chosen, using a constant comparative method.
Neuralgic amyotrophy with hourglass-like constrictions: A case report.
World J Clin Cases
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a rare condition characterized by sudden shoulder pain followed by weakness in the arm, primarily affecting the upper brachial plexus, and can often mimic cervical radiculopathy due to its similar symptoms.
- - A 76-year-old male developed NA after hip surgery, experiencing shoulder pain and arm weakness; diagnostic imaging confirmed brachial plexopathy and unique signs of NA including a focal constriction at the suprascapular nerve.
- - Treatment for NA involved corticosteroids and physical therapy, leading to significant recovery in shoulder muscle strength within a month, highlighting the importance of recognizing NA's distinct features for accurate diagnosis.
