AI Article Synopsis

  • COVID-19, which surfaced in 2019, quickly turned into a global pandemic, affecting millions and resulting in significant mortality rates.
  • The outbreak prompted shifts in healthcare settings and practices, impacting how advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) deliver care.
  • As frontline providers during the ongoing pandemic, APRNs must stay updated on treatment protocols while addressing the needs of vulnerable populations, employing a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to ensure high-quality care.

Article Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in 2019 and rapidly became a global pandemic, infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands. The disease altered the practices of hospitals, clinics, and patients. These changes have implications for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). APRNs must remain current on best practices for treatment and diagnosis of COVID-19 while being cognizant of changes to their scope of practice. As the pandemic continues, APRNs will remain on the front lines treating patients with COVID-19 while also caring for vulnerable populations within the community. To provide high-quality care, APRNs must use a multifaceted approach that heeds ongoing updates to evidence-based practice.

In this paper, we reflect on factors that seem to have influenced the accessibility of medical assistance in dying (MAID) in the Canadian context. Since legalization in 2016, the uptake of MAID has increased rapidly to equal or exceed rates in other countries. In that MAID implementation involves numerous ethical/moral complexities, we consider four factors that appear to have influenced this growth.

12″ Wafer-Scale Mass-Manufactured Metal-Insulator-Metal Reflective Metaholograms by Nanotransfer Printing.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Korea University, Seoul 02841, Republic of Korea.

The unique characteristics of metasurfaces to precisely control the amplitude, phase, and polarization of light within a thin, flat footprint make them a promising replacement for bulky optical components. However, fabrication methods of conventional metasurfaces have suffered from low throughput and high costs, limiting scalability and practical application. To address these challenges, an advanced fabrication technique is developed by combining deep-ultraviolet argon fluoride photolithography with wafer-scale nanotransfer printing to facilitate the scalable fabrication of metal-insulator-metal structures.

Centralized drug procurement is a common practice worldwide to relieve the healthcare burden and promote high-quality development in the pharmaceutical industry. However, scholars have not yet reached an agreement on whether centralized procurement can facilitate the innovation activities of pharmaceutical firms. China's centralized volume-based procurement (CVBP) implemented in 2018 provides an ideal quasi-natural experiment to evaluate the effect of centralized procurement on the R&D investment of the firms.

Medical volume data are rapidly increasing, growing from gigabytes to petabytes, which presents significant challenges in organisation, storage, transmission, manipulation, and rendering. To address the challenges, we propose an end-to-end architecture for data compression, leveraging advanced deep learning technologies. This architecture consists of three key modules: downsampling, implicit neural representation (INR), and super-resolution (SR).
