Using a knowledge translation framework for effective interprofessional leadership: A nursing student perspective.

Nurses have an essential leadership role in the healthcare system. As leaders, nurses are critical to the interprofessional healthcare team's ability to achieve positive system functioning and optimal patient care outcomes. Effective nurse leadership is important as contemporary challenges of global health management emerge.

Inequalities in noise will affect urban wildlife.

Understanding how systemic biases influence local ecological communities is essential for developing just and equitable environmental practices that prioritize both human and wildlife well-being. With over 270 million residents inhabiting urban areas in the United States, the socioecological consequences of racially targeted zoning, such as redlining, need to be considered in urban planning. There is a growing body of literature documenting the relationships between redlining and the inequitable distribution of environmental harms and goods, green space cover and pollutant exposure.

Trematode parasites exceed aquatic insect biomass in Oregon stream food webs.

Although parasites are increasingly recognized for their ecosystem roles, it is often assumed that free-living organisms dominate animal biomass in most ecosystems and therefore provide the primary pathways for energy transfer. To examine the contributions of parasites to ecosystem energetics in freshwater streams, we quantified the standing biomass of trematodes and free-living organisms at nine sites in three streams in western Oregon, USA. We then compared the rates of biomass flow from snails Juga plicifera into trematode parasites relative to aquatic vertebrate predators (sculpin, cutthroat trout and Pacific giant salamanders).

What drives interaction strengths in complex food webs? A test with feeding rates of a generalist stream predator.

Describing the mechanisms that drive variation in species interaction strengths is central to understanding, predicting, and managing community dynamics. Multiple factors have been linked to trophic interaction strength variation, including species densities, species traits, and abiotic factors. Yet most empirical tests of the relative roles of multiple mechanisms that drive variation have been limited to simplified experiments that may diverge from the dynamics of natural food webs.

Factors associated with re-arrest following initial resuscitation from cardiac arrest.

Background: To examine patient- and arrest-level factors associated with the incidence of re-arrest in the hospital setting, and to measure the association between re-arrest and survival to discharge.

Methods: This work represents a retrospective cohort study of adult patients who were successfully resuscitated from an initial out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) or in-hospital cardiac arrest (ICHA) of non-traumatic origin at two urban academic medical centers. In this study, re-arrest was defined as loss of a pulse following 20min of sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
