Background: The purpose of the present research was to develop an augmented reality paediatric first aid training system to investigate the effects of such a system on the knowledge, skill levels, and self-confidence of nursing students in first-aid practices.
Objective: This controlled experiment was conducted at a junior college. Ninety-five fourth-year nursing students participated in this study; 46 in the experimental group and 49 in the control group.
Design And Methods: Data were collected using the Paediatric First Aid Knowledge Scale, Visual Analogue Scale of Self-Confidence and First Aid Practice Evaluation Checklist and pre- and post-test analyses were performed. The experimental group used the augmented reality application for paediatric first aid training, while the control group used a traditional method.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the students' pre-test scores in both groups, indicating that the students had similar levels of knowledge of paediatric first aid before the intervention. The post-test of the paediatric first aid knowledge results showed that students in the experimental group significantly outperformed those in the control group (p < .05). A significant difference was found in the first aid skills between the groups (p < .001). Additionally, the students in the experimental group stated that the augmented reality application significantly improved their self-confidence in performing paediatric emergency care (p < .001).
Conclusions: The augmented reality application had a positive effect on the knowledge and skill levels of nursing students regarding first aid practices. This study suggests that augmented reality is a valuable teaching tool in many areas of nursing education.

Unique presentation of cavernous sinus thrombosis in a paediatric patient.

A paediatric patient presented with periorbital oedema and fever. Initially, there was low suspicion for cavernous sinus thrombosis and orbital cellulitis due to the presence of full extraocular movements. However, given worsening bilateral periorbital oedema, lethargy and sepsis, neuroimaging was performed demonstrating inflammation and enhancement of the leptomeninges and left cavernous sinus, and raising concern for cavernous sinus thrombosis in the setting of orbital cellulitis.

This study evaluated a next-generation automated insulin delivery (AID) algorithm for Omnipod in type 1 and type 2 diabetes across multiple phases: 14-day run-in with usual therapy, 48-h AID use in a hotel setting (type 1 only), and up to 6 weeks of outpatient AID use. Participants did, or did not, deliver manual boluses at alternating periods. Twelve adults with type 1 diabetes completed the hotel phase; 9 of those 12 plus 8 adults with type 2 diabetes completed the subsequent outpatient phase.

Aims: The aim of this study was to assess postprandial glycaemic outcomes using automated insulin delivery with faster acting insulin aspart (FIA) or standard insulin aspart (SIA) over 4 weeks in youth (aged 10-18 years) with type 1 diabetes.
Materials And Methods: We undertook a secondary analysis of postprandial glycaemic outcomes from a double-blind, randomised, crossover study comparing FIA to SIA using an investigational version of MiniMed™ 780G. Endpoints included postprandial time in tight range (70-140 mg/dL; TITR), postprandial glucose excursions and peak glucose, and incremental area under curve (iAUC).

Global health prioritizes improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. It encompasses a wide range of efforts, including disease prevention and treatment, health promotion, healthcare delivery, and addressing health disparities across borders. Short-term medical and surgical missions often contribute to the global health landscape, especially in low and lower-middle income countries.
