Clinical supervision is a valued learning tool for student nurses; however, there is a paucity of description around real-time experience of clinical supervision among qualified advanced nurse practitioners. Many qualified nurses claim delays in engaging with clinical supervision may be caused by staff shortages, time constraints, workload in busy clinical environments, or a reticence to engage in discussions that might reveal shortcomings in knowledge or practical skills. This article reviews a process of monthly clinical supervision that has been conducted among a group of qualified emergency department advanced nurse practitioners for 25 years.

Objectives: A multifaceted assessment battery is recommended for testing suspected concussed athletes; however, the individual tests have limitations and potentially may lead to false positive outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to psychometrically evaluate concussion assessment tools used for intercollegiate student-athletes, with a focus on the time interval between baseline and subsequent assessments.

Methods: Ninety-two collegiate student-athletes matched between concussion ( = 46.

Tropical coral reefs provide a wide range of ecosystem services that benefit millions worldwide. However, the current scale of coral reef restoration is a long way from matching the extent needed to protect coral reefs globally, and this implementation gap presents a complex challenge to overcome. Cross-sectoral collaborative sustainable business models (CSBMs) present an interesting opportunity to scale up coral restoration, though this area is yet to be explored in the literature.

Article Synopsis
  • Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a virus transmitted by mosquitoes that causes severe joint pain and fever, continuing to cause outbreaks globally since 2005.
  • To test potential vaccines and antivirals, researchers compared disease progression and viral loads in different mouse strains, focusing on A129 (which lacks a specific receptor) and C57BL/6.
  • Findings showed that A129 mice experienced more severe disease compared to their parental 129Sv/Ev strain, and 129Sv/Ev mice had higher viral loads than C57BL/6, establishing important models for future research.
