AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

Because of complexities of clinical practice and limitations in the clinical setting, prelicensure nursing students may not develop competencies necessary for safe entry into practice. Multiple patient simulation (MPS) is an effective teaching strategy to gain these competencies. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing Transition to Practice Specific Competency Tool was used to assess and identify gaps in students' knowledge and skills when designing an MPS. This unique approach allowed faculty to customize the MPS to meet the needs of students and potentially increase their readiness for practice.

Heritable fragile bone disorders (FBDs), ranging from multifactorial to rare monogenic conditions, are characterized by an elevated fracture risk. Validating causative genes and understanding their mechanisms remain challenging. We assessed a semi-high throughput zebrafish screening platform for rapid in vivo functional testing of candidate FBD genes.

Background: The Modified Nutritional Risk in Critically Ill (mNUTRIC) score has been proposed as a tool to identify hospitalized patients at risk for malnutrition who may benefit from early enteral nutrition (EN) therapy.

Objective: Our goal was to determine if mNUTRIC scores could predict, at time of intensive care unit admission, which mechanically ventilated trauma patients were at risk for malnutrition and might benefit from early EN, as indicated by reduced mortality.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of all adult trauma patients requiring mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours between 01/21/2012 and 12/31/2016, reviewing inpatient medical records, demographic data, disease markers, injury severity, and comorbidities.

Objective: The staircase phenomenon, which refers to the increases in the force of contraction with repetitive stimulation of the muscle, has been studied for many years, but the method is difficult and not widely used. Our objective was to evaluate the staircase phenomenon in skeletal muscle using a piezoelectric sensor.

Methods: Thirty-five subjects without neuromuscular diseases (normal controls), 11 patients with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), and 19 patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MyD) were studied.

Everolimus presents significant dosing challenges due to between- and within-patient pharmacokinetic variabilities. This study aimed to develop and validate a model-informed precision dosing strategy for everolimus in liver transplant recipients. The dosing strategy was initially developed using retrospective data, employing nonlinear mixed-effects modeling.

Recommended Opioid Receptor Tool Compounds: Comparative for Receptor Selectivity Profiles and for Pharmacological Antinociceptive Profiles.

Opioid agonist ligands bind opioid receptors and stimulate downstream signaling cascades for various biological processes including pain and reward. Historically, before cloning the receptors, muscle contraction assays using isolated organ tissues were used followed by radiolabel ligand binding assays on native tissues. Upon cloning of the opioid G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), cell assays using transfected opioid receptor DNA plasmids became the standard practice including S-GTPγS functional and cAMP based assays.
