The selection of new central venous access devices (CVADs), line dressing, and nursing clinical practices was guided by the Center for Advanced Nursing Practice's Evidence-Based Practice Model. The model's evidence-triggered, evidence-supported, evidence-observed, and evidence-based phases provided structure that guided a systematic process in which best practice was incorporated into the clinical setting, based on clinician insights, evaluation of authoritative literature, and examination of three CVAD dressings as an intervention using various study methods. This article discusses study findings, recommendations, and implications for nursing practice. CVAD dressing integrity has clinical practice applicability in multiple settings along the care continuum.

Design Characteristics of Augmentative and Alternative Communication Interfaces for Children With Cortical Visual Impairment: Results From Two Focus Groups With Vision Professionals.
Am J Speech Lang Pathol
January 2025
Department of Speech Pathology, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH.
Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to gain insight on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) interface designs for children with cortical visual impairment (CVI). Children with CVI frequently require AAC and specific interface supports, and customization may be necessary to support access and use of speech-generating devices.
Method: A focus group methodology was selected to gain feedback from vision professionals on helpful AAC features for children with CVI.
Cervical Cancer Screening in Women With Physical Disabilities.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Family Medicine, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Importance: Cervical cancer screening is a crucial public health intervention, but screening disparities exist for women with physical disabilities (WWPD).
Objective: To explore the experiences of WWPD with both traditional speculum examination-based screening and at-home self-sampling for cervical cancer screening.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This qualitative study enrolled 56 WWPD to test self-sampling kits, provide feedback via a survey, and participate in a qualitative interview.
Insights and Opportunities from Multimarker Evaluation of Heart Failure: Lessons from BIOSTAT-HF.
Curr Heart Fail Rep
January 2025
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of California, 9394 Medical Center Drive, La Jolla, San Diego, CA, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Heart failure is a complex and heterogenous disease state that affects millions worldwide. Over recent decades, advancements in medical therapy and device implementation have significantly transformed the landscape of heart failure outcomes, while improvements in imaging modalities and greater accessibility to genome sequencing have led to increasing recognition of distinct heart failure endotypes. There is rising evidence to suggest all patients do not benefit equally from intensification of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT).

Int J Audiol
January 2025
Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Objectives: This longitudinal experimental study aimed to profile audiometric hearing loss, explore the feasibility and efficacy of low-cost hearing devices, and examine their social and emotional impact on participants in South Sudan, a low-resource humanitarian setting.
Design: We performed pure tone hearing screenings on adults with self-reported hearing disability, randomly providing eligible participants with one of two inexpensive devices-Asana Pro 800, a non-customizable hearing device fit unilaterally, or the Super Ear SE9000, a hand-held amplifier with headphones given one per individual.
Study Sample: Between October 2022 and January 2023, 142 adults underwent hearing screening at the Juba Teaching Hospital ENT clinic, of whom 19 eligible individuals were provided with hearing devices.
Scanning Thermal Microscopy Method for Self-Heating in Nonlinear Devices and Application to Filamentary Resistive Random-Access Memory.
ACS Nano

IBM Research Europe - Zurich, 8803 Rüschlikon, Switzerland.
Devices with a highly nonlinear resistance-voltage relationship are candidates for neuromorphic computing, which can be achieved by highly temperature dependent processes like ion migration. To explore the thermal properties of such devices, Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) can be employed. However, due to the nonlinearity, the high resolution and quantitative method of AC-modulated SThM cannot readily be used.
