Evaluation of Virtual Reality in the Reduction of Pain During Dressing Changes in Patients With Burn Wounds: A Pilot Study.

Burn injuries are among the most common life-threatening injuries for which medical attention is sought, and are accompanied by intense, severe pain, particularly during treatment. Burn therapy pain management with opioid and nonopioid analgesics is often insufficient when administered alone. Virtual reality (VR) interfaces provide an immersive experience that has demonstrable therapeutic benefits, including distraction from, and reduction of, pain.

Association of quality of nursing care with violence load, burnout, and listening climate.

Background: Violence against nurses is common. Previous research has recommended further development of the measurement of violence against nurses and integration of the individual and ward-related factors that contribute to violence against hospital nurses. This study was designed to address these issues by investigating the associations between violence, the listening climate of hospital wards, professional burnout, and perceived quality of care.

Efficacy and safety of metabolic interventions for the treatment of severe COVID-19: in vitro, observational, and non-randomized open-label interventional study.

Background: Viral infection is associated with a significant rewire of the host metabolic pathways, presenting attractive metabolic targets for intervention.

Methods: We chart the metabolic response of lung epithelial cells to SARS-CoV-2 infection in primary cultures and COVID-19 patient samples and perform in vitro metabolism-focused drug screen on primary lung epithelial cells infected with different strains of the virus. We perform observational analysis of Israeli patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 and comparative epidemiological analysis from cohorts in Italy and the Veteran's Health Administration in the United States.

Experiencing and witnessing disruptive behaviors toward nurses in COVID-19 teams, patient safety, and errors in care.

Background: Nurse managers and team co-workers' disruptive behaviors (DBs) are negatively associated with a perceived safe climate. Moreover, DBs are a risk factor for patients' safety. Yet, it remains unknown whether and to what extent these effects were prevalent in COVID-19 wards and among witnesses of DBs.

Sexual harassment of religious Jewish nurses by patients and its relation to the ward's listening climate, care avoidance and quality of nursing care.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the associations between religious Jewish nurses' exposure to sexual harassment by patients, the ward's listening climate, the quality of nursing care and nurses' avoidance of therapeutic contact with harassing patients.

Background: A few studies have examined nurses' exposure to sexual harassment by patients, but this phenomenon has not been studied among religious Jewish nurses.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 85 nurses who study at a religious Jewish nursing school.

Mechanism and reversal of drug-induced nephrotoxicity on a chip.

The kidney plays a critical role in fluid homeostasis, glucose control, and drug excretion. Loss of kidney function due to drug-induced nephrotoxicity affects over 20% of the adult population. The kidney proximal tubule is a complex vascularized structure that is particularly vulnerable to drug-induced nephrotoxicity.

Sexual harassment of nurses by patients and missed nursing care-A hidden population study.

Aim: To raise awareness of a patient-related antecedent of missed nursing care.

Background: Missed nursing care is negatively associated with patient outcomes; accordingly, hospitals employ strategies to mitigate missed care. While antecedents of missed nursing care resulting from the work environment of nurses are recognized, sexual harassment by patients is not.

Disruptive behaviors among nurses in Israel - association with listening, wellbeing and feeling as a victim: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: To examine the association between listening and disruptive behaviors and the association between disruptive behavior and the wellbeing of the nurse. To test whether constructive and destructive listening has an incremental validity.

Methods: A structured questionnaire survey that measured the (constructive & destructive) listening climate at work, exposure to disruptive behaviors, well-being and feeling as a victim.

Violence against physicians and nurses in a hospital: How does it happen? A mixed-methods study.

Background: Violence against medical personnel is unexpected in hospitals which are devoted to healing, and yet, it is frequent and of concern in the health system. Little is known about the factors that lead to hospital violence, and even less is known about the interactions among these factors. The aim of the study was to identify and describe the perceptions of staff and patients regarding the factors that lead to violence on the part of patients and those accompanying them.

Workplace violence in a tertiary care Israeli hospital - a systematic analysis of the types of violence, the perpetrators and hospital departments.

Background: Worldwide, there is a widespread and disturbing pattern of violence towards healthcare workers. However, violent occurrences in Israeli hospitals have often been unrecognized and underreported. Moreover, most studies have not sufficiently differentiated among the different types of violence.

Leigh syndrome: anesthetic management in complicated endoscopic procedures.

Background: Leigh's syndrome, a disorder of infancy and childhood, is characterized by gray matter degeneration and focal brainstem necrosis. It presents with special clinical features such as developmental delay, nervous system dysfunction, respiratory abnormalities, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that can be a real challenge to the anesthesiologist. Anesthesia or sedation has rarely been reported in patients with Leigh disease.
