Background: The standard of care for family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) is evolving, and leading organizations collectively recommend establishing institutional policy for its practice. Although FPDR is supported at this single institution, the process was not standardized.
Methods: An interprofessional group authored a decision pathway to standardize the care of families during inpatient code blue events at one institution. The pathway was reviewed and applied in code blue simulation events to highlight the role of the family facilitator and the importance of interprofessional teamwork skills.
Results: The decision pathway is a patient-centered algorithm that promotes safety and family autonomy. Pathway recommendations are shaped by current literature, expert consensus, and existing institutional regulations. An on-call chaplain responds to all code blue events as the family facilitator and conducts assessments and decision making per the pathway. Clinical considerations include patient prioritization, family safety, sterility, and team consensus. One year after implementation, staff felt that it positively affected patient and family care. The frequency of inpatient FPDR did not increase after implementation.
Conclusion: As a result of the decision pathway implementation, FPDR is consistently a safe and coordinated option for patients' family members.

In the current complex economic environment, entrepreneurial enterprises, as a crucial force in China's economic transformation, have vital survival and development strategies. This study is grounded in resource-based theory, integrating strategic management and contingency theories. It establishes a theoretical model based on the influence pathway of "entrepreneurial orientation-market orientation-entrepreneurial performance", incorporating environmental uncertainty as a moderating variable.

Prebiotics are becoming increasingly recognized by consumers, health care professionals and regulators as important contributors to health. Nonetheless, the development, progress, and adoption of prebiotics is hindered by loose terminology, various misconceptions about sources and types of compounds that may be classified as prebiotics, and the lack of consensus on a definition that satisfies regulators. Evolving knowledge of the microbiome and its effects on host health has generated opportunities for modulation of the microbiota that can support host health.

Background: Rotator cuff repair (RCR) is a frequently performed outpatient orthopaedic surgery, with substantial financial implications for health-care systems. Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) is a method for nuanced cost analysis and is a valuable tool for strategic health-care decision-making. The aim of this study was to apply the TDABC methodology to RCR procedures to identify specific avenues to optimize cost-efficiency within the health-care system in 2 critical areas: (1) the reduction of variability in the episode duration, and (2) the standardization of suture anchor acquisition costs.

Asymmetric cell division (ACD) allows daughter cells of a polarized mother to acquire different developmental fates. In , the Wnt/β-catenin Asymmetry (WβA) pathway regulates many embryonic and larval ACDs; here, a Wnt gradient induces an asymmetric distribution of Wnt signaling components within the dividing mother cell. One terminal nuclear effector of the WβA pathway is the transcriptional activator SYS-1/β-catenin.

Data Brief

Department of Earth and Geoenvironmental Sciences, University of Bari, 70125 Bari, Italy.
An open-source geodatabase and its associate WebGIS platform (CONNECTOSED) were developed to collect and utilize data for the Sediment Flow Connectivity Index (SfCI) for the Apulia region of southern Italy. Maps depicting sediment mobility and connectivity across the hydrographic basins of the Apulia region were generated and stored in the geodatabase. This geodatabase is organized into folders containing data in TIFF, shapefile, Jpeg and Pdf formats, including input variables (digital elevation model, land cover map, rainfall map, and soil units dataset for each hydrographic basin), classification graphs (ranking of variable values), dimensionless index maps (slope, ruggedness, rainfall, land cover, and soil stability) and key products (maps of sediment mobility, SfCI, and applied SfCI).
