Nurses are qualified to design, manage, supervise, and deliver health care in a public health setting such as the school. Considering this, school nurses should understand regulations necessary to aid in the care of children, especially related to point-of-care laboratory testing for the assessment and treatment of health conditions. The pandemic and resulting mitigation strategy of COVID-19 testing adopted by some schools, has raised questions about the need for school nurses to comply with the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). CLIA was established to improve the quality of laboratory test results and school nurses who perform blood glucose monitoring and urine dipstick testing fall under the CLIA waiver category. Therefore, school nurses should be knowledgeable about CLIA certification. By developing policies and procedures for testing, completing the CLIA certificate of waiver, and following best laboratory practices, school nurses will be delivering high-quality nursing care in their health room.

Nursing Practices for Preventing Delirium in Patients with Cancer with Prognoses of Months and Weeks: A Multi-Site Cross-Sectional Study in Japan.

Graduate School of Medicine, Mie University, Tsu, Japan.
Background: Delirium is a condition characterized by an acute and transient disturbance in attention, cognition, and consciousness. It is increasingly prevalent at the end of life in patients with cancer. While non-pharmacological nursing interventions are essential for delirium prevention, their effectiveness in terminally ill patients with cancer remains unclear.

Background: Cancer is a leading cause of global mortality, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. This is projected to increase by more than 60% by 2040, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Yet, palliative and psychosocial oncology care is very limited in these countries.

The death and clearance of nurse cells is a consequential milestone in Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis. In preparation for oviposition, the germline-derived nurse cells bequeath to the developing oocyte all their cytoplasmic contents and undergo programmed cell death. The death of the nurse cells is controlled non-autonomously and is precipitated by epithelial follicle cells of somatic origin acquiring a squamous morphology and acidifying the nurse cells externally.

Nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum), especially juveniles, are often encountered by near-shore and shore-based recreational anglers and are suggested to exhibit minimal behavioral and physiological responses to capture, largely based on studies of adults using commercial or scientific fishing methods. To quantify the sub-lethal effects of recreational angling on juvenile nurse sharks, 27 individuals (across 31 angling events) were caught using hook-and-line fishing methods. Over a 30-min period, 4 blood samples were taken with variable time intervals between sampling (i.

Background: Multidisciplinary integrated models of care show promise for improving symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Aims: To describe and evaluate the characteristics of integrated models of care for IBS and identify how digital health is being used in these models of care.
Methods: Four databases were searched to March 2024 for studies that included adults with IBS who participated in multidisciplinary integrated models of care that delivered non-pharmacological therapies.
