The end-of-life lecture has historically led to an emotionally difficult day for first-semester nursing students. The instructor implemented a few small changes to update the end-of-life lecture content, and as a result, positive outcomes were found. The purpose of this project was to provide a positive end-of-life experience for first-semester nursing students. A variety of small changes were implemented to achieve this goal.

Cachectic biomarkers as confounders behind the obesity paradox in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
Int J Obes (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Sakakibara Heart Institute, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Obesity is a risk factor for heart failure (HF) development but is associated with a lower incidence of mortality in HF patients. This obesity paradox may be confounded by unrecognized comorbidities, including cachexia.
Methods: A retrospective assessment was conducted using data from a prospectively recruiting multicenter registry, which included consecutive acute heart failure patients.
Rationale and Design of the Prevail Global Trial Program Evaluating the Prevail Drug-Coated Balloon in Patients with In-stent Restenosis and De Novo Small Vessel Disease.
Am Heart J
January 2025
Clinical and Experimental Interventional Cardiology, University of Saarland, Homburg, Germany.
Background And Rationale: In-stent restenosis (ISR) remains the leading cause of treatment failure following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with contemporary drug-eluting stents. Especially in small caliber coronary arteries, restenosis is common following PCI and represents a treatment challenge. Drug-coated balloons (DCB) are an attractive alternative to stents for treatment of both ISR and small vessel disease.

Clean air is a requirement for life, and the quality of indoor air is a health determinant since people spend most of their daily time indoors. The aim of this study was to systematically review the available evidence regarding the sources, determinants and concentrations of indoor air pollutants in a set of scenarios under study in K-HEALTHinAIR project. To this end, a systematic review was performed to review the available studies published between the years 2013-2023, for several settings (schools, homes, hospitals, lecture halls, retirement homes, public transports and canteens), conducted in Europe, where sources and determinants of the indoor pollutants concentrations was assessed.
