It has been suggested that Project 2000 training has not taken account of the need to assess the development of specific nursing skills. This could result in nurses who may be in a vulnerable position upon qualification regarding the expectations of their skills performance. A new initiative has been developed at the University of Luton, which enables specific skills to be assessed for pre-registration students during the Common Foundation Programme. This document is discussed here and is the precursor to a wider research study proposed to be undertaken upon completion of the evaluation.

This study assessed the economic impact of reducing one postoperative visit following inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation. Scenario analyses were used to model the effects of eliminating one 30-min IPP postoperative visit from the expected 2.5 visits accounted for by the American Medical Association resource-based relative value scale data.

Objective: To assess performance of an algorithm for automated grading of surgery-related adverse events (AEs) according to Clavien-Dindo (C-D) classification.
Summary Background Data: Surgery-related AEs are common, lead to increased morbidity for patients, and raise healthcare costs. Resource-intensive manual chart review is still standard and to our knowledge algorithms using electronic health record (EHR) data to grade AEs according to C-D classification have not been explored.

Apatinib, a commonly used tyrosine kinase inhibitor in cancer treatment, can cause adverse reactions such as hypertension. Hypertension, in turn, can increase the risk of certain cancers. The coexistence of these diseases makes the use of combination drugs more common in clinical practice, but the potential interactions and regulatory mechanisms in these drug combinations are poorly understood.

Bioluminescence inhibition (BLI) measurements in bioluminescent bacteria (BB) is perceived as a potential qualitative and quantitative indicator of hazardous materials. Acute but minor fluctuations in osmolarity and pH do not affect the living systems significantly. However, significant BLI is observed from marine BB due to acute osmolarity or pH changes that may affect the bioassay sensitivity.
