Purpose: Although most anesthetic drugs are classified as compatible with breastfeeding, literature shows that anesthesia providers routinely advise patients to discard milk when receiving all types of anesthesia. The purpose of this project was to determine if a multimodal educational module and cognitive aid improved student registered nurse anesthetists' knowledge and confidence to counsel lactating patients on current anesthesia-related recommendations.
Design: This project used a pre-experimental one-group, pretest and post-test design.
Methods: Preintervention and postintervention surveys measured knowledge and confidence to counsel lactating patients scheduled to receive anesthesia.
Findings: Significant improvement in knowledge and confidence after the intervention were noted.
Conclusions: A multimodal educational session and cognitive aid improved student registered nurse anesthetists' knowledge about current anesthesia-related breastfeeding recommendations and their confidence in counseling these patients. Wider use of this educational module with the cognitive aid has the potential to positively impact breastfeeding patients and their children.

Creatine monohydrate supplementation is widely used by athletes in high-intensity, power-based sports due to its ability to enhance short-term performance by increasing intramuscular phosphocreatine (PCr) stores, which aid in ATP resynthesis during intense muscle contractions. However, emerging evidence suggests that creatine monohydrate offers benefits beyond athletic performance. This narrative review explores the literature supporting the advantages of creatine supplementation in women, vegans, and clinical populations.

Background: The electronic cognitive aid for emergencies in anesthesia (eGENA) is an app that offers digital support in anesthesiological emergency situations as a cognitive aid tool via checklists for memory and making decisions. The eGENA was published by the German Society of Anesthesiology and has been implemented in the emergency management of the anesthesiological team of the clinic in Potsdam, Germany.
Objective: The primary endpoint was to observe the influence of eGENA on the anesthesiological emergency management on the subjective feeling of assurance as well as on quality of treatment and, therefore, patient safety.

Aim: To explore the views of patients, caregivers, and dental professionals on the factors that influence implementation, processes, and effectiveness of a guided self-help cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) intervention, 'Your teeth, you are in control' (YTYAIC), in the CALM trial.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted as part of this qualitative component of the process evaluation, and data were analysed using a framework approach based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and the Five Areas Model of CBT.
Results: Thirty-seven participants were recruited.

Background: With the aging of society, cognitive impairment in elderly people is becoming increasingly common and has caused major public health problems. The screening of cognitive impairment in elderly people and its related influencing factors can aid in the development of relevant intervention and improvement strategies.
Methods: In this study, stratified random cluster sampling was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey of elderly individuals aged 65 years in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, through an electronic questionnaire from November 2022 to November 2023.

Objectives: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. Prior research suggests that genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures, such as maternal preeclampsia (PE) during pregnancy, play key roles in ASD pathogenesis. However, the specific effects of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors on ASD phenotype severity remain unclear.
