Objective: To describe the development and content validity testing of the Maternal Fetal Triage Index (MFTI), a standardized tool for obstetric triage.
Design: Online survey.
Participants: Participants included 15 registered nurses, 15 certified nurse-midwives, and 15 physicians from across the United States who provided maternity care.
Methods: A convenience sample of experienced clinicians was used as content validators for the MFTI. An item content validity index (I-CVI) was computed for the tool's items and a scale content validity index (S-CVI) was computed for the tool's scale based on the responses submitted via the online survey. Two rounds of content validation occurred.
Results: In the first round of testing, a total of 12 of 61 items in the MFTI did not meet the I-CVI threshold of greater than 0.78 because of disagreement about clinical condition (75%) or priority level placement (25%). In the second round of testing, all but 3 of the 69 content items in the revised version of the MFTI had I-CVI thresholds greater than 0.78. These 3 items were related to vital sign values. The overall S-CVI score calculated for Round 2 only was 0.95, which was greater than the threshold of 0.90.
Conclusion: The results of the content validity testing of multidisciplinary validators suggest that the MFTI is a valid tool for use in obstetric triage and evaluation settings.

Population Pharmacokinetics of Telmisartan in Healthy Subjects and Hypertensive Patients.
Clin Pharmacokinet
January 2025
College of Pharmacy, Kyungsung University, 309, Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan, 48434, Republic of Korea.
Background And Objective: Telmisartan exhibits significant pharmacokinetic (PK) variability, but it remains unclear whether its PK profile is altered in hypertensive patients. This study aimed to characterize telmisartan PKs by conducting a meta-analysis and developing a pooled population PK model based on data from healthy subjects and hypertensive patients.
Methods: Relevant literature was identified by a systematic approach.
Introduction: This paper developed and used practice vignettes to understand sexual assault nurse examiners' perceptions of self-confidence to provide care for Black, Indigenous, and transgender sexual violence survivors. Sexual assault nurse examiners are uniquely positioned to provide patient-centered postsexual violence health care but not all sexual assault nurse examiners receive culturally specific and identity-affirming training. Black/African American, Indigenous, and/or transgender people disproportionately experience sexual violence but may receive poorer health care after sexual violence compared with white cisgender people.

Plasma membrane (PM) simulations at longer length and time scales at nearly atomistic resolution can provide invaluable insights into cell signaling, apoptosis, lipid trafficking, and lipid raft formation. We propose a coarse-grained (CG) model of a mammalian PM considering major lipid head groups distributed asymmetrically across the membrane bilayer and validate the model against bilayer structural properties from atomistic simulation. Using the proposed CG model, we identify a recurring pattern in the passive collective cholesterol transbilayer motion and study the individual cholesterol flip-flop events and associated pathways along with lateral ordering in the bilayer during a flip-flop event.

J Dent Sci
December 2024
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Cardinal Tien Hospital and Fu Jen Catholic University, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Background/purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the initial implementation of competency-based medical education (CBME) through entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in Taiwan dental education, focusing on tooth extraction EPAs across undergraduate year (UGY), postgraduate year (PGY), and oral and maxillofacial surgery-residency (OS-R) levels.
Materials And Methods: Using the Delphi method, an advisory team developed and validated three levels of trial EPAs, which were implemented through the Emyway platform. A structured questionnaire was used to evaluate teachers' and students' experiences and satisfaction with Emyway and the EPAs.
The Risk for Violence Screening Tool: a psychometric validation and reliability study.
Int J Nurs Stud Adv
June 2025
Los Angeles General Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, United States.
Background: There is a lack of high-quality evidence to support the recommendation of an instrument to screen emergency department patients for their risk for violence.
Objective: To demonstrate the content and predictive validity and reliability of the novel Risk for Violence Screening Tool to identify patients at risk for violence.
Design And Setting: This retrospective risk screening study was conducted at a 100-bed emergency department in an urban, academic, safety net trauma center in Southern California.
