Background And Purpose: For effective evaluation of clinical development, established psychometric properties of reliability and validity are essential. The Clinical Development Assessment (CDA) tool was developed within a 12-month pediatric nurse residency program. Benner's novice-to-expert model framed the development of the CDA.
Methods: Data from 129 nurse residents and their preceptors were used to evaluate internal consistency reliability and face, content, and construct validity. Nine elements were assigned a six-point Likert scale scored as (a) unsafe, (b) novice, (c) advanced beginner, (d) competent, (e) proficient, and (f) expert.
Results: Moderately strong reliability was found. Using exploratory factor analysis, a single factor accounted for 68% of the variance in clinical development. Face and content validity were confirmed.
Conclusions: This study identified a brief, valid, and reliable tool to evaluate clinical development in newly licensed registered nurses.

Background: Many tools have been developed to predict the risk of diabetes in a population without diabetes; however, these tools have shortcomings that include the omission of race, inclusion of variables that are not readily available to patients, and low sensitivity or specificity.
Objective: We aimed to develop and validate an easy, systematic index for predicting diabetes risk in the Asian population.
Methods: We collected the data from the NAGALA (NAfld [nonalcoholic fatty liver disease] in the Gifu Area, Longitudinal Analysis) database.

Nurse rounds have long been an established practice in clinical settings, resulting in improved patient care through accurate assessment, evaluation, and communication. This practice has also been shown to create seamless patient-centered care among the medical team, the patient, and their family members. While nurse rounds are an important component of clinical care, school nurses have not adopted this practice.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) represent a group of heterogeneous myeloid clonal diseases derived from aberrant hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is an important regulator in gene expression through methyltransferase-dependent or methyltransferase-independent mechanisms. Herein, we found EZH2 inhibition led to MDS cell pyroptosis through RNA Helicase A (RHA) down-regulation induced overexpression of S100A9, a key regulator of inflammasome activation and pyroptosis.

Background: Comprehensive clinical data regarding factors influencing the individual disease course of patients with movement disorders treated with deep brain stimulation might help to better understand disease progression and to develop individualized treatment approaches.
Methods: The clinical core data set was developed by a multidisciplinary working group within the German transregional collaborative research network ReTune. The development followed standardized methodology comprising review of available evidence, a consensus process and performance of the first phase of the study.
