Objective: This study was designed to determine the effect of high-quality nursing intervention on negative emotions, quality of life and activities of daily living (ADL) of elderly patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: Totally 115 elderly PD patients treated in our hospital from March 2018 to September 2019 were selected as the research participants. According to different nursing intervention methods, they were divided into two groups. The research group (RG) (65 cases) received high-quality nursing intervention, while the control group (CG) (50 cases) received routine nursing intervention. The adverse reactions, negative emotions, quality of life, ADL, PSQI, MDRSPD scores and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.
Results: After nursing intervention, the incidence of adverse reactions in the RG was dramatically lower than that in the CG. Before nursing intervention, there was no marked difference in the scores of quality of life, ADL and MDRSPD between the two groups. But after nursing, those scores in the RG were markedly higher than those in the CG. Before nursing intervention, there was no remarkable difference in SAS, SDS and PSQI scores between both groups, but after that, the scores of the RG were obviously lower than those of the CG. After nursing intervention, the nursing satisfaction of patients in the RG was dramatically higher than that in the CG.
Conclusion: High-quality nursing intervention for elderly PD patients can dramatically improve their negative emotions, quality of life and ADL, and promote recovery of motor function.

Purpose: Understanding barriers to compliance can aid in mitigation strategies to address them. This study aims to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the relationship between barriers to ERAS recommendations and perceived ability to assure compliance among multidisciplinary team (MDT) members who deliver Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care.
Design: Embedded mixed-methods survey analysis.
Introduction: In hospital-based emergency departments, the national average of left before treatment complete was 2%. In addition, patients may leave without being seen or against medical advice and elope after arriving to the emergency department. When events occurred, they were associated with an increased length of stay for patients who were admitted to the hospital and decreased patient satisfaction.

Purpose: Diversion or theft of controlled substances is a recognized problem affecting healthcare systems globally. The purpose of this study was to develop a framework for identifying and characterizing system factors leading to vulnerabilities for diversion within hospitals.
Methods: We applied a qualitative framework method, which involved 1) compiling a list of critical diversion vulnerabilities through observations and proactive risk analyses in the inpatient pharmacy, emergency department and intensive care unit of two Canadian hospitals; 2) coding the vulnerabilities into deductively and inductively derived themes and subthemes; and 3) building a conceptual framework.

Background: Morbid obesity in adolescents impacts respiratory function, often leading to reduced lung volume and obstructive ventilatory defects. However, standard spirometric values frequently remain within normal ranges.
Objectives: We hypothesized that Lung Clearance Index (LCI) is a more sensitive marker for detecting airway dysfunction in adolescents with morbid obesity than conventional lung function tests.
