Article Synopsis
  • Puberty presents unique challenges for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including increased vulnerability, safety concerns, and worsened mood and behavioral issues.
  • Youth with ASD require targeted education on self-care, hygiene, sexual activity, and menstruation management, but healthcare providers often lack the preparation and confidence to meet these needs.
  • A pilot project demonstrated that a brief educational intervention significantly improved family nurse practitioners’ self-reported knowledge and attitudes toward caring for individuals with ASD, highlighting the importance of incorporating such training in nursing education.

Aims: (1) Identify and characterise the nursing contribution to impact case studies submitted to Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 across all Units of Assessment and compare this to those submitted to REF 2014; (2) Identify and characterise those impact case studies of relevance to nursing that did not include a nurse in the research team; (3) Compare the characteristics of impact case studies identified in Aim 2 with those that did include a nurse in the research team.

Design: Desk-based analysis of REF2021 published data.

Methods: We searched the REF2021 impact database with the term nurs* then sorted case studies into categories representing the involvement of nurses on the research team.

Article Synopsis
  • Ion therapies show higher relative biological effectiveness (RBE) compared to X-rays, but quantifying this variation across different radiation types is challenging.
  • The study tested various damage models with differing levels of complexity to understand how these attributes affect predictions of DNA damage after irradiation with protons.
  • Results indicated that while simplified models maintained similar damage trends, they had notable variability in double strand break yields and chromosome aberrations, especially at higher linear energy transfers (LETs), suggesting that model optimization could improve damage predictions.

There are limited reports on the impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) on the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We compared the relative effects of supra-annular, self-expanding (SE) versus intra-annular, balloon-expandable (BE) prostheses on TAVR LVH regression. Regression of left ventricular mass index (LVMi) was evaluated in 168 consecutive TAVR patients, including 60 treated with SE valves (Evolut series) and 108 treated with BE valves (Sapien 3).
