Utility of cardiac implantable electronic device algorithm for detecting severe sleep-disordered breathing in cardiomyopathy.

Background: Half of patients with heart failure are estimated to have sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). However, many are undiagnosed as they do not report typical symptoms. This study aims to evaluate the implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) sleep-disordered breathing algorithm in a cohort of multi-racial Asian patients for detection of SDB against polysomnography (PSG).

Formation of a low-mass galaxy from star clusters in a 600-million-year-old Universe.

The most distant galaxies detected were seen when the Universe was a scant 5% of its current age. At these times, progenitors of galaxies such as the Milky Way were about 10,000 times less massive. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) combined with magnification from gravitational lensing, these low-mass galaxies can not only be detected but also be studied in detail.

Exploring the Experiences and Perspectives of new Graduate Nurses on the Push-Pull Factors of Nursing Workforce Crisis Post COVID-19.

Background: The aim of this study is to explore the practice experiences of new graduate nurses (NGNs) in publicly funded acute healthcare settings in the Greater Toronto Area, their perspectives on the determinants of their desire to stay or leave the nursing profession, and to identify action-oriented strategies to promote retention of NGNs.

Design: Qualitative, descriptive.

Methods: Fifteen NGNs participated in focus group sessions, where a semi-structured interview guide was created to generate discussion on NGNs' lived and professional experiences.

Transition to Practice: Perceptions of Newly Graduated Nurses in Relation to the Participation of Nurse Managers in a Transition Program.

Throughout existing transition programs for new nurses, few appear to include the participation of nurse managers in its activities. This qualitative study explores the perceptions of newly graduated nurses (N = 7) toward the participation of their nurse manager in a transition program through dedicated group discussion periods. Four interconnected themes emerged from the interviews.
