Parental entrustment of healthcare responsibilities to youth with chronic conditions: A concept analysis.

Purpose: Chronic health conditions impact nearly 40% of children in the United States, necessitating parents/caregivers to entrust healthcare responsibilities to youth aging into adulthood. Understanding the parental entrustment process may lead to tailored transition support; however, the concept lacks conceptual clarity, limiting its research and practical applications.

Design And Methods: Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis method was used to clarify the parental entrustment of healthcare responsibilities to youth with chronic health conditions.

The impacts of adrenoleukodystrophy newborn screening on the evaluation of adrenal dysfunction in male children: An integrative literature review.

Problem: Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is an x-linked genetic condition with a high risk of adrenal dysfunction recommended for newborn screening. This review aims to critically appraise and synthesize existing literature identifying the impacts of ALD newborn screening in the United States on the evaluation and treatment of adrenal dysfunction in male children.

Eligibilitycriteria: An integrative literature review was conducted using the Embase, PubMed, and CINAHL databases.

Critical illness myopathy and trajectory of recovery in acute kidney injury requiring continuous renal replacement therapy: a prospective observational trial protocol.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) is common in the intensive care unit (ICU) and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Continuous RRT (CRRT) non-selectively removes large amounts of amino acids from plasma, lowering serum amino acid concentrations and potentially depleting total-body amino acid stores. Therefore, the morbidity and mortality associated with AKI-RRT may be partly mediated through accelerated skeletal muscle atrophy and resulting muscle weakness.

Associations Between Shower and Moisturizing Practices with Atopic Dermatitis Severity: A Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study.

Evidence-based recommendations for optimal showering/bathing practices are lacking for atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. To determine longitudinal associations between showering/bathing practices and AD severity in AD patients. A prospective single-center dermatology practice-based study was performed.

Intrahepatic renal cell carcinoma implantation along a percutaneous biopsy and cryoablation probe tract.

A man in his 60s underwent percutaneous biopsy and cryoablation of a right upper pole clear cell renal cell carcinoma followed by repeat cryoablation 8 months later for possible residual disease. The patient was followed with imaging with documented stability for 19 months after repeat ablation. However, imaging at 32 months demonstrated intrahepatic nodular enhancing lesions along the initial percutaneous biopsy and ablation tract, consistent with metastatic implantation.
