The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the postpartum experiences of older primiparas at the time of their postpartum hospital stay. Participants were Japanese primiparas aged 35-44 years who gave birth, without abnormalities for either the mother or child. Data were obtained using a semi-structured interview with 22 participants. Thirteen themes emerged through content analysis. We found that there were distinctive experiences, which included 'the health and growth of the baby: relief and continued anxiety', 'awareness of strengths and of concerns of primiparas', 'meaning of the pregnancy and childbirth experience' and 'developing one's own child-care approach'. Findings suggest that nursing care during the post-delivery hospital stay should use the unique strengths of older primiparas to enable their smooth transition to maternal role attainment.

Background: Acute care hospitalization has been associated with older adult home falls after discharge, but less is known about the effects of hospital- and patient-related factors on home fall risk.
Objectives: This study compares the effects of hospital length of stay, medical condition, history of falls, and home health care on period rates of home falls after discharge from acute care hospitalization.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study comparing period rates of home injury falls among older adults (age ≥ 65) occurring after discharge from an acute care hospitalization.
Background: Research data on the extent of and protocols related to physical restraint (PR) in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) are scarce. Most previous studies in China on this topic have focused on the prevalence, reasons, and background of PR use among adult patients.
Purpose: This study was designed to delineate the application of PR and the factors associated with PR use in PICUs in China.
Effect of one dose of ceftriaxone during endotracheal intubation on the incidence of aspiration pneumonia in cerebral hemorrhage patients: A randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical study protocol.

ICU, Shandong Provincial Hospital affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, Shandong Province, China.
Introduction: Patients with cerebral hemorrhage often require a tracheal intubation to protect the airway and maintain oxygenation. Due to the use of analgesic and sedative drugs during endotracheal intubation and the opening of the glottis may easily cause aspiration pneumonia. Ceftriaxone is a semi-synthetic third-generation cephalosporin with strong antimicrobial activity against most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Unlabelled: Very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm newborns lack some nutrients such as vitamin D (VD), which is important in the function and development of different systems.
Objective: To evaluate serum levels of 25-OH-VD in VLBW newborns and to describe the possible association between its deficit and frequent morbidities in this population.
Patients And Methods: Cross-sectional study of VLBW newborns (< 1,500 g and/or < 32 weeks of gestational age).
Transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy: a comparison of operative and oncological outcomes between posterior and anterolateral tumours.

Department of Urology, Zealand University Hospital, Roskilde, Denmark.
Objective: To compare operative and oncological outcomes, as well as the risk of postoperative complications in patients who underwent transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal tumours located either posteriorly or anterolaterally.
Methods: Retrospective, consecutive study including 451 patients who underwent transperitoneal RAPN for non-metastatic, localised renal tumours from May 2016 to April 2023. Operative data included duration of the procedure, warm ischaemia time, and blood loss; oncological data included surgical margins and recurrence; and 90-day postoperative complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.
