Objective: To characterize communication strategies of labor and delivery nurses and their physician colleagues during perinatal decisions.
Design: A quantitative descriptive design was used.
Setting: A perinatal setting in an urban acute care facility.
Participants: Twenty-nine perinatal nurses and 11 attending physicians.
Methods: A model of team communication derived from research on cockpit crew communication served as a framework for this analysis. Data were taken from transcriptions of audio-taped conversations and discourse analysis.
Results: Findings indicated that nurses and physicians tended to use status-based communication styles and rarely employed team-centered communication strategies.
Conclusion: Nurse and physician status-based communication styles may hinder optimal patient outcomes.

Background: Advances in plasma biomarkers to detect Alzheimer's disease (AD) biology allows researchers to improve the efficiency of participant recruitment into preclinical trials. Recently, protein levels of plasma amyloid-beta and tau proteins have been shown to be predictive of elevated amyloid in brain. Online registries, such as the Alzheimer's Prevention Trials (APT) Webstudy, include and follow participants using remote assessments to facilitate efficient screening and enrollment of large numbers of individuals who may be at higher risk for AD.

Background: Appropriate assessment of nutritional status of adolescents as a population group is an important area of focus, considering the age of culminating growth, the size of the age group, the changing nutrition patterns, and as a window of opportunity for corrections before adulthood sets in. Nutritional status is now recognized to be a prime indicator of the health of individuals. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the importance of employing age- and sex-specific reference values (body mass index-for-age Z scores {BAZ} scores) for nutritional assessment in this age group.

Objectives: Barriers to communication have been observed with patients and families who prefer a language other than English for medical conversations, referred to as individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP). We used the pediatric Family Satisfaction with ICU 24R (FS-ICU) survey to assess communication satisfaction for English-proficient (EP) and Spanish-speaking LEP caregivers. We added additional questions related to attendance at morning rounds, frequency of provider updates, interpreter use, and general satisfaction with communication.
