AI Article Synopsis

  • The ongoing debate about novice nurses' readiness for practice highlights the need for enhanced curricula.
  • A feasibility study assessed the integration of an Accelerating to Practice (A2P) curriculum, using data from capstone students, faculty, and clinical preceptors.
  • A2P focused on clinical decision-making and deep learning, leading to improved student outcomes by addressing areas of weakness without heavily emphasizing psychomotor skills.

Article Abstract

With the ongoing debate on transition-to-practice gaps and lack of readiness for practice by novice nurses, curricular enhancements and innovation are imperative. A feasibility study was undertaken to inform and assess the integration of an Accelerating to Practice (A2P) curriculum in an academic context. Data from senior capstone students, faculty, and clinical preceptors provide evidence of the usefulness and applicability of A2P to provide intentional learning outcomes targeted at new graduates' areas of weakness. This experience was aimed at clinical decision-making with psychomotor skill-laden activities deemphasized. A2P scaffolding aided in deeper learning and resulted in improved student learning.

Background: Coronary stenting operations have become the main option for the treatment of coronary heart disease. Vessel recovery after stenting has emerged as a critical factor in reducing possible complications. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility, safety and efficacy of locally administered intraluminal gene therapy delivered using a specialized infusion balloon catheter.

Currently, it is a significant challenge to achieve long-term cyclability and fast chargeability in lithium-ion batteries, especially for the Ni-based oxide cathode, due to severe chemo-mechanical degradation. Despite its importance, the fast charging long-term cycling behaviour is not well understood. Therefore, we comprehensively evaluate the feasibility of fast charging applications for Co-free layered oxide cathodes, with a focus on the extractable capacity and cyclability.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Objective: To assess the feasibility and outcome of rapid recovery protocol (RRP) in severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients with Cobb angle ≥90 degrees underwent single-staged posterior spinal fusion (PSF).

Summary Of Background Data: Corrective surgeries in severe AIS patients entail a higher risk of prolonged operation, excessive bleeding, extended hospital stay, and higher complication rates compared with non-severe AIS patients.

Cancer cells exhibit an accelerated glucose uptake and glycolysis. The transmembrane uptake of glucose requires specific carrier proteins, such as glucose transporters (GLUTs) and sodium-coupled glucose cotransporters (SGLTs). GLUTs transport glucose independently of the energy supply and have become promising targets for cancer therapy.

Background And Objective: The Scania Accelerated Intermittent Theta-burst Implementation Study (SATIS) aimed to investigate the tolerability, preliminary effectiveness, and practical feasibility of an accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aTBS) protocol in treating depression.

Methods: We used an open-label observational design, recruiting 20 patients (aged 19-84 years) from two public brain stimulation centers in Sweden. During the five-day treatment period and at a follow-up visit after 30 days we closely monitored adverse events and collected self-rated side effect data.
