Effect of adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation for patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Healthcare providers have faced challenges for patients with moderate and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in conducting their pulmonary rehabilitation due to dyspnea and exercise intolerance. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used to improve the muscle group's power and endurance without adding pulmonary workload, which might be used as a potential adjuvant rehabilitation method and thus to improve patients' pulmonary functions.

Methods: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Improving malignant fungating wound management among oncology nurses: a best practice implementation project.

Introduction: Appropriate malignant fungating wound (MFW) care is challenging for oncology nurses, leading to increased stress, compromised care quality, and poor patient outcomes.

Objective: This study aimed to address best practice barriers and develop evidence-based guidelines for MFW care.

Methods: This project was guided by the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework, which follows a seven-phase process.
