Background: The family support person role during resuscitation is complex and requires role preparation; however, there is a lack of guidance on preparing nurses for this crucial role.
Objectives: To examine how critical care nurses prepared for the role of supporting families during resuscitation and their perceptions of the preparation needed to fulfill this role.
Method: An exploratory-descriptive qualitative design guided the study. Individual, semistructured interviews with 16 critical care nurses yielded data for thematic analysis. All participants had been in the family support person role.
Results: Three themes emerged: who should perform the family support person role, why role preparation is important, and how to prepare for the role. The themes captured participants' views about identifying and preparing individuals to support families during resuscitation.
Discussion: Nurses are the ideal health care team member to support families during resuscitation. However, participants felt unprepared for this role, especially for communicating with families. Education and experience are important to prepare nurses to effectively enact the role to ensure positive outcomes for family members.

The Rise of Type 2 Diabetes in Children and Adolescents: An Emerging Pandemic.
Diabetes Metab Res Rev
January 2025
Department of Human Genetics, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, India.
Aim: This review explores the increasing prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in children and adolescents, focusing on its etiology, risk factors, complications, and the importance of early detection and management. It also highlights the need for a multidisciplinary, family-centered approach in managing T2DM in pediatric populations, with an emphasis on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle interventions.
Materials And Methods: A literature review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus to incorporate studies from 2015 to 2024 on T2DM in youths/adolescents/children, focusing on epidemiology, risk factors, and prevention strategies.

State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Fiber Laser Materials and Applied Techniques, School of Physics and Optoelectronics, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, 510641, China.
0D hybrid metal halide (HMH) luminescent glasses have garnered significant attentions for its chemical diversity in optoelectronic applications and it also retains the skeleton connectivity and coordination mode of the crystalline counterparts while exhibiting various physics/chemistry characteristics distinct from the crystalline states. However, understanding of the glass-forming ability and the specific structural origins underpinning the luminescent properties of 0D HMH glasses remains elusive. In this review, it is started from the solid-liquid phase transition and thermodynamic analysis of 0D HMHs formed through melt-quenching, and summarize the current compounds capable of stably forming glassy phases via chemical structural design.

The Lim Kinase (LIMK) family of serine/threonine kinases is comprised of LIMK1 and LIMK2, which are central regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics via their well-characterized roles in promoting actin polymerization and destabilizing the cellular microtubular network. The LIMKs have been demonstrated to modulate several fundamental physiological processes, including cell cycle progression, cell motility and migration, and cell differentiation. These processes play important roles in maintaining cardiovascular health.

Present Address: Department of Global Health, Georgetown University School of Health, Washington, DC USA.
Background: Nepal, like other low- and middle-income countries, is experiencing a rapid increase in the number of older adults and the rate of aging in the population. This has increased the number of older adults with age-associated chronic illnesses, which in turn will escalate the demand for specialized healthcare and long-term care in Nepal. However, very little is known regarding the current healthcare system and health policies for older adults in Nepal.
