Physical activity together for couples living with mild cognitive impairment (PAT-MCI): A feasibility study.

Mild cognitive impairment is a prodromal phase of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Cognitive and/or neuropsychiatric symptoms that could worsen over time cause challenges for patients and romantic partners, who often assume the role of informal caregivers. Although physical activity is beneficial, older adults with mild cognitive impairment and their romantic care partners are generally physically inactive.

Nonpharmacologic Interventions and Seizure Frequency in Patients With Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures: An Integrative Review.

Background: Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) pose a heavy burden on patients' lives and the health care system. The symptoms of PNES are often debilitating and cause high rates of disability and poor quality of life. Many treatment options are available, but there is no clear consensus on best practices.

Quality of Life in Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures: An Evolutionary Concept Analysis.

Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) pose a serious threat to quality of life (QOL) in patients who battle the disorder. As psychological treatment options have progressed, improvement in QOL has become a more common desired outcome. Despite its relevance in PNES research and treatment, QOL has not been defined in the PNES population.

Insomnia, fatigue and psychosocial well-being during COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional survey of hospital nursing staff in the United States.

Aims And Objectives: To describe the levels of insomnia, fatigue and intershift recovery, and psychological well-being (burnout, post-traumatic stress and psychological distress), and to examine differences in these measures based on work-related characteristics among nursing staff during COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a major physical and psychological burden on nursing staff in the United States and worldwide. A better understanding of these conditions will lead to tailored support and resources for nursing staff during and after the pandemic.

Bacterial and viral co-infections complicating severe influenza: Incidence and impact among 507 U.S. patients, 2013-14.

Background: Influenza acts synergistically with bacterial co-pathogens. Few studies have described co-infection in a large cohort with severe influenza infection.

Objectives: To describe the spectrum and clinical impact of co-infections.

The epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus on a burn trauma unit.

Objective: We assessed the frequency and relatedness of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates to determine whether healthcare workers, the environment, or admitted patients could be a reservoir for MRSA on a burn trauma unit (BTU). We also assessed risk factors for MRSA colonization among BTU patients.

Design: Prospective cohort study and surveillance for MRSA carriage.

Incidence of invasive aspergillosis among allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients receiving voriconazole prophylaxis.

We performed a retrospective observational study to examine the incidence of invasive aspergillosis (IA) among allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, according to whether patients received at least 1 week of voriconazole prophylaxis. We report no cases of IA among 92 HSCT recipients who received voriconazole prophylaxis compared with a 10% (23/223) incidence among those receiving other systemic antifungals for prophylaxis (P < .0005).
