To understand factors that promote retention of Newly Licensed Registered Nurses (NLRNs) and those that contribute to turnover, a survey of a national sample of NLRNs was conducted. This article describes the content analysis of 612 NLRN comments about their work life. Using Krippendorff's technique, 5 themes were discovered. Colliding expectations describes conflicts between nurses' personal view of nursing and their lived experience. The need for speed describes the pressure related to a variety of temporal issues. You want too much expresses the pressure and stress NLRNs feel personally and professionally. How dare you describes unacceptable communication patterns between providers. Change is on the horizon suggests optimism for the future as NLRNs speak of transforming the systems where care is provided. This content analysis reveals that the working environment where NLRNs begin their career is in need of reform. Suggestions are offered from the nurses themselves.

The field of bioelectronic medicine has advanced rapidly from rudimentary electrical therapies to cutting-edge closed-loop systems that integrate real-time physiological monitoring with adaptive neuromodulation. Early innovations, such as cardiac pacemakers and deep brain stimulation, paved the way for these sophisticated technologies. This review traces the historical and technological progression of bioelectronic medicine, culminating in the emerging potential of closed-loop devices for multiple disorders of the brain and body.

Dengue fever is caused by the mosquito-borne dengue virus (DENV), which is endemic in more than 100 countries. Annually, there are approximately 390 million dengue cases, with a small subset manifesting into severe illnesses, such as dengue haemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. Current treatment options for dengue infections remain supportive management due to the lack of an effective vaccine and clinically approved antiviral.

The use of air-jet dry powder inhalers (DPIs) offers a number of advantages for the administration of pharmaceutical aerosols, including the ability to achieve highly efficient and potentially targeted aerosol delivery to the lungs of children using the oral or trans-nasal routes of administration. To better plan targeted lung delivery of pharmaceutical aerosols with these inhalers, more information is needed on the extrathoracic (ET) depositional loss in pediatric subjects when using relatively small (e.g.

Background: Platform trials are innovative clinical trials governed by a master protocol that allows for the evaluation of multiple investigational treatments that enter and leave the trial over time. Interest in platform trials has been steadily increasing over the last decade. Due to their highly adaptive nature, platform trials provide sufficient flexibility to customize important trial design aspects to the requirements of both the specific disease under investigation and the different stakeholders.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes a significant burden of acute respiratory illness across all ages, particularly for infants and older adults. Infants, especially those born prematurely or with underlying health conditions, face a high risk of severe RSV-related lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). Globally, RSV contributes to millions of LRTI cases annually, with a disproportionate burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
