Clinical practice guidelines are statements developed from best evidence about clinically relevant appropriate care. A simulated patient case is presented to demonstrate how to use a CPG in decision-making in determining a clinical decision. Conceptualized knowledge management software templates are provided to explain a process by which best evidence is retrieved from a primary, centralized network database. Templates describe the process of converting a clinical question into a research question, retrieving best evidence, and performing data analysis for the outcome of individualizing and optimizing a clinical decision. Templates also describe the reciprocation of information to update CPGs by translational researchers who manage and build the primary, centralized network database.

Exposure to toxins causes lasting damaging effects on the body. Numerous studies in humans and animals suggest that diet has the potential to modify the epigenome and these modifications can be inherited transgenerationally, but few studies investigate how diet can protect against negative effects of toxins. Potential evidence in the primary literature supports that caloric restriction, high-fat diets, high protein-to-carbohydrate ratios, and dietary supplementation protect against environmental toxins and strengthen these effects on their offspring's epigenome.

Background: Several studies have suggested that lung tissue heterogeneity is associated with overall survival (OS) in lung cancer. However, the quantitative relationship between the two remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prognostic value of whole lung-based and tumor-based radiomics for OS in LA-NSCLC treated with definitive radiotherapy.

Purpose: To propose a gastrointestinal bleeding management algorithm that incorporates an endoscopic and imaging scoring system and specifies management of vascular complication from button battery ingestion.
Recent Findings: Button batteries (BB) are found in many electronic devices and ingestions are associated with serious complications especially in cases of unwitnessed ingestions, prolonged impaction, and in children less than 5 years of age. Gastrointestinal bleeding from BB related vascular injury is rare but often rapidly fatal, with a mortality rate as high as 81%.

Background: Nurses who experience verbal abuse often report negative emotions, which can affect their work status and nurse-patient relationship. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has summarized the prevalence of verbal abuse among nurses by different perpetrators and related risk factors.
Aim: This review aimed to synthesize the prevalence of verbal abuse among nurses and identify the most common sources and related risk factors.
