This is a brief review of the process the Kansas State Board of Nursing would utilize when investigating a complaint and determining discipline against a licensee, and does not include all points of law that could apply. Although the Kansas Administrative Procedures Act was discussed, there are many sections of the statute that were not addressed. The Board of Nursing has published two pamphlets "Your Rights Before the Kansas State Board of Nursing" and "The Investigative Process" which are valuable to the nurse in understanding the process. These are available on the KSBN's website www.ksbn.org or by mail.

Water Heater Type, Temperature Setting, Operational Conditions, and Insulation Affect Ecological Niches for Growth.

ACS ES T Water

January 2025

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061, United States.

Residential water heating represents an important nexus of energy/water conservation, waterborne disease, hygiene, and consumer preference. Here, we examine attributes of two off-the-shelf 151-L tank water heaters, one with hot water recirculation (recirculating) and another without recirculation (standard), compared to a tankless on-demand heater (on-demand). Energy efficiency decreased in the order on-demand > standard > continuous recirculation.

Mutations in connexin 32 (Cx32) are a common cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1X (CMT1X) disease, an inherited peripheral neuropathy characterized by progressive neuromuscular weakness and demyelination. There are no approved pharmacologic therapies for CMT1X, and identifying new treatments that slow the onset and severity of neuromuscular decline may aid disease management. Cemdomespib is an orally bioavailable small molecule that improved demyelination and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) morphology in mice lacking Cx32 expression.

Background: Pediatric respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-related acute lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) commonly requires hospitalization. The Clinical Progression Scale Pediatrics (CPS-Ped) measures level of respiratory support and degree of hypoxia across a range of disease severity, but it has not been applied in infants hospitalized with severe RSV-LRTI.

Methods: We analyzed data from a prospective surveillance registry of infants hospitalized for RSV-related complications across 39 U.
