Objective: This study aims to investigate the application of protective restraint nursing interventions in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and their impact on the incidence of unplanned extubation and skin damage.
Methods: A total of 90 ICU patients admitted to Hai'an People's Hospital between January 2019 and December 2020 were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group in a 1:1 ratio. The control group received conventional nursing care, while the experimental group received protective restraint nursing interventions. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale, a clinical tool used to assess patients' levels of anxiety and depression, was employed to evaluate patients' emotional states before and after the intervention. A Patient Clinical Satisfaction Survey Questionnaire developed by our department was used to assess patient satisfaction after nursing. Compliance and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.
Results: The experimental group exhibited significantly lower HADS scores, higher nursing satisfaction, and a lower incidence of unplanned extubation, skin damage, and adverse reactions compared to the control group (all P < .05).
Conclusions: Protective restraint care demonstrates substantial benefits for ICU patients by reducing the incidence of unplanned extubation, preventing skin damage during treatment, improving compliance, and facilitating recovery. These findings support the clinical application and promotion of protective restraint nursing interventions.

Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder predominantly caused by pathogenic COL3A1 variants. Characteristic arterial and intestinal fragility and generalised severe tissue friability can lead to clinical events from childhood. We highlight a paucity of literature regarding children diagnosed with vEDS, possibly explained by a restraint in predictive testing, and present data on 63 individuals (23 index cases) with a clinical and genetic diagnosis of vEDS in childhood (<18 years) to address this.

In response to stressors, individuals manifest varied behavioral responses directed toward satisfying physiological survival needs. Although the enduring effects of adolescent stress on both humans and animals are well-documented, the underlying mechanisms remain insufficiently elucidated. Utilizing immunofluorescence, viral injections, and brain slice electrophysiological recordings, we have delineated that heightened excitability among glutamatergic neurons in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is responsible for inducing heightened exploratory behaviors in adolescent mice subjected to mild, chronic restraint stress.

This paper examines the intersection of environmental history and the history of science, specifically the impact of forestry science and fire management on land use and community dynamics in rural Portuguese mountains. It further traces the evolution of fire management from an ancestral rural practice to a scientific concern and the subsequent integration of vernacular knowledge with scientific methods. In the early twentieth century, fire was a common tool in rural Portugal for land clearance, pasture management, and soil enrichment.

Objective: Incorrect use of child restraints is a long-standing issue, limiting the protection offered by child restraints in the event of a crash. Child restraint fitting services are a measure to reduce incorrect use but have limited reach and availability to underserved populations. Virtual child restraint fitting services have the potential to increase the reach and availability, but as with any digital intervention, need to be acceptable to users to be effective.
