Nursing research has frequently been criticized for its inability to shape or be shaped by clinical practice. One method that involves clinicians and researchers in the pursuit of research and change is action research. The purpose of this paper is to present action research as a technique that combines grounded methods with organizational change to enhance clinical practice, an approach widely used in Australia and England. The presentation includes the steps in action research. Examples of nursing research conducted are also examined. The discussion focuses on techniques that enhance, maintain, or increase the scientific rigor of the methods.

Introduction: Agrin, encoded by AGRN, plays a vital role in the acetylcholine receptor clustering pathway, and any defects in this pathway are known to cause congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) 8 in early childhood with variable fatigable muscle weakness. The most severe or lethal form of CMS manifests as a fetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS). To date, only one family has been reported with an association of null variants in AGRN and a lethal FADS.

The Added Role of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Staging Uterine Cervical Cancer.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Radiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, Craiova, ROU.
Background: Cervical cancer is considered one of the most common gynecological malignancies with an increased incidence in developing countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a valuable role in staging cervical cancer and providing valuable information necessary for selecting the appropriate treatment plan, while closely correlating with the prognosis of the patient.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the preoperative loco-regional staging of cervical carcinoma.
