As nurses, we are very familiar with the environmental factors associated with change, the impact of chaos on working relationships, and the general milieu of a nursing unit. This story relates how a student in a leadership practicum was encouraged to look at change through an organizational lens when the leadership dynamics changed in a work group. The Roy Adaptation Model and chaos theory were applied as frameworks for this assessment as a way to organize and foster learning. Through this serendipitous opportunity, the student gained an insight into the dynamics of group process and an appreciation of the work it takes for leaders and managers to keep the work group in a healthy functional state.

Discipline of Medical Gerontology, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
Background: It has been suggested that dog walking may protect against falls and mobility problems in later life, but little work to date has examined this.The aim of this study was to assess if regular dog walking was associated with reduced likelihood of falls, fear of falling and mobility problems in a large cohort of community-dwelling older people.
Methods: Participants ≥60 years at Wave 5 of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing were included.

Department of Medicine, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Informatics, University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine, 423 Guardian Drive, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, USA.
Purpose: The REDUCE-IT randomized trial demonstrated a cardiovascular benefit of icosapent ethyl (IPE) but also raised potential safety signals for atrial fibrillation (AF) and serious bleeding. We aimed to evaluate the real-world safety of IPE versus mixed omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (OM-3) formulations.
Methods: This retrospective active comparator new-user cohort study compared rates of new-onset AF and major bleeding (MB) among adult new users of IPE versus OM-3 in 2020-2024 US Veterans Affairs data.
