Nurses' experiences and perceptions of unfinished nursing care: a qualitative systematic review protocol.

The aim of this review is to synthesize the findings of qualitative studies about the experiences and perceptions of nurses regarding unfinished nursing care. The issue of unfinished nursing care is a widespread challenge globally, causing detrimental effects to both patients and health care practitioners. Despite its prevalence, there is a dearth of qualitative evidence synthesis summarizing the reasons for unfinished nursing care, as well as the experiences of nurses. This review will include studies exploring registered nurses' and nurse managers' experiences and perceptions of unfinished nursing care, utilizing qualitative methods. Our approach to qualitative methodology will be unrestricted, allowing for various designs, such as phenomenology, ethnography, grounded theory, action research, and feminist research. Only articles published in English or Chinese from 2001 onward will be included. Our search will encompass the following electronic databases for published and unpublished literature: MEDLINE (PubMed), PsycINFO (APA PsycNET), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Web of Science, Embase, ScienceDirect, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, GreyNet International, Google Scholar, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, and Chinese Biomedicine Literature Database (CBM). To ensure thoroughness, manual searches of reference lists and citations of included studies will also be conducted. Two reviewers will extract relevant information, and quality validation will be conducted using the JBI critical appraisal checklist for qualitative research. Similar findings will be categorized through meta-aggregation to establish synthesized findings. Finally, each synthesized finding will be graded according to the JBI ConQual approach.

The historical development and current landscape of health library standards: A critical review.

Since the emergence of the first health library standards, a large body of literature has been published in this field, most often focusing on a particular standard, or set of standards. In the case of literature reviews, they have been usually partial and integrated into a broader study. Identify and analyse national health library standards developed in different countries worldwide over the past 70 years, tracing their historical development and current status. A comprehensive search of published literature was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, Medline, LISA, and Google Scholar up to May 2023. The reference lists and citations of retrieved papers were reviewed. After screening and eligibility, a total of 112 papers were included in the final selection. More than 40 national hospital library standards published by a group of Anglo-Saxon and European countries were identified. In a chronological approach, the standards have been arranged by decades, from the 1950s to the present day, and the context of their appearance, their main contributions, and the relationships between them have been analysed. The major trends that have marked their evolution and development over time have also been established. Standards have a key role to play in the important challenge facing health libraries today to demonstrate the high impact and value of their services in the functioning of their organisations and in improving patient care.

Appendectomy versus antibiotic treatment for acute appendicitis.

Acute appendicitis is one of the most common emergency general surgical conditions worldwide. Uncomplicated/simple appendicitis can be treated with appendectomy or antibiotics. Some studies have suggested possible benefits with antibiotics with reduced complications, length of hospital stay, and the number of days off work. However, surgery may improve success of treatment as antibiotic treatment is associated with recurrence and future need for surgery. To assess the effects of antibiotic treatment for uncomplicated/simple acute appendicitis compared with appendectomy for resolution of symptoms and complications. We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and two trial registers (World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform and ClinicalTrials.gov) on 19 July 2022. We also searched for unpublished studies in conference proceedings together with reference checking and citation search. There were no restrictions on date, publication status, or language of publication. We included parallel-group randomised controlled trials (RCTs) only. We included studies where most participants were adults with uncomplicated/simple appendicitis. Interventions included antibiotics (by any route) compared with appendectomy (open or laparoscopic). We used standard methodology expected by Cochrane. We used GRADE to assess the certainty of evidence for each outcome. Primary outcomes included mortality and success of treatment, and secondary outcomes included number of participants requiring appendectomy in the antibiotic group, complications, pain, length of hospital stay, sick leave, malignancy in the antibiotic group, negative appendectomy rate, and quality of life. Success of treatment definitions were heterogeneous although mainly based on resolution of symptoms rather than incorporation of long-term recurrence or need for surgery in the antibiotic group. We included 13 studies in the review covering 1675 participants randomised to antibiotics and 1683 participants randomised to appendectomy. One study was unpublished. All were conducted in secondary care and two studies received pharmaceutical funding. All studies used broad-spectrum antibiotic regimens expected to cover gastrointestinal bacteria. Most studies used predominantly laparoscopic surgery, but some included mainly open procedures. Six studies included adults and children. Almost all studies aimed to exclude participants with complicated appendicitis prior to randomisation, although one study included 12% with perforation. The diagnostic technique was clinical assessment and imaging in most studies. Only one study limited inclusion by sex (male only). Follow-up ranged from hospital admission only to seven years. Certainty of evidence was mainly affected by risk of bias (due to lack of blinding and loss to follow-up) and imprecision. Primary outcomes It is uncertain whether there was any difference in mortality due to the very low-certainty evidence (Peto odds ratio (OR) 0.51, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.05 to 4.95; 1 study, 492 participants). There may be 76 more people per 1000 having unsuccessful treatment in the antibiotic group compared with surgery, which did not reach our predefined level for clinical significance (risk ratio (RR) 0.91, 95% CI 0.87 to 0.96; I2 = 69%; 7 studies, 2471 participants; low-certainty evidence). Secondary outcomes At one year, 30.7% (95% CI 24.0 to 37.8; I2 = 80%; 9 studies, 1396 participants) of participants in the antibiotic group required appendectomy or, alternatively, more than two-thirds of antibiotic-treated participants avoided surgery in the first year, but the evidence is very uncertain. Regarding complications, it is uncertain whether there is any difference in episodes of Clostridium difficile diarrhoea due to very low-certainty evidence (Peto OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.24 to 3.89; 1 study, 1332 participants). There may be a clinically significant reduction in wound infections with antibiotics (RR 0.25, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.68; I2 = 16%; 9 studies, 2606 participants; low-certainty evidence). It is uncertain whether antibiotics affect the incidence of intra-abdominal abscess or collection (RR 1.58, 95% CI 0.61 to 4.07; I2 = 19%; 6 studies, 1831 participants), or reoperation (Peto OR 0.13, 95% CI 0.01 to 2.16; 1 study, 492 participants) due to very low-certainty evidence, mainly due to rare events causing imprecision and risk of bias. It is uncertain if antibiotics prolonged length of hospital stay by half a day due to the very low-certainty evidence (MD 0.54, 95% CI 0.06 to 1.01; I2 = 97%; 11 studies, 3192 participants). The incidence of malignancy was 0.3% (95% CI 0 to 1.5; 5 studies, 403 participants) in the antibiotic group although follow-up was variable. Antibiotics probably increased the number of negative appendectomies at surgery (RR 3.16, 95% CI 1.54 to 6.49; I2 = 17%; 5 studies, 707 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). Antibiotics may be associated with higher rates of unsuccessful treatment for 76 per 1000 people, although differences may not be clinically significant. It is uncertain if antibiotics increase length of hospital stay by half a day. Antibiotics may reduce wound infections. A third of the participants initially treated with antibiotics required subsequent appendectomy or two-thirds avoided surgery within one year, but the evidence is very uncertain. There were too few data from the included studies to comment on major complications.

Dengue induced acute liver failure: A meta summary of case reports.

Dengue fever is the most common cause of viral hemorrhagic fever, with more than 400 million cases being reported annually, worldwide. Even though hepatic involvement is common, acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare complication of dengue fever. To analyze the demographic profile, symptomology, hospital course and outcomes of patients presenting with ALF secondary to dengue infection by reviewing the published case reports. A systematic search was performed from multiple databases including PubMed, Reference Citation Analysis, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. The search terms used were "dengue" OR "severe dengue" OR "dengue shock syndrome" OR "dengue haemorrhagic syndrome" OR "dengue fever" AND "acute liver failure" OR "hepatic failure" OR "liver injury". The inclusion criteria were: (1) Case reports or case series with individual patient details; (2) Reported acute liver failure secondary to dengue infection; and (3) Published in English language and on adult humans. The data were extracted for patient demographics, clinical symptomatology, clinical interventions, hospital and intensive care unit course, need for organ support and clinical outcomes. Data from 19 case reports fulfilling the predefined inclusion criteria were included. The median age of patients was 38 years (inter quartile range: Q3-Q1 26.5 years) with a female preponderance (52.6%). The median days from diagnosis of dengue to development of ALF was 4.5 d. The increase in aspartate aminotransferase was higher than that in alanine aminotransferase (median 4625 U/L vs 3100 U/L). All the patients had one or more organ failure, with neurological failure present in 73.7% cases. 42.1% patients required vasopressor support and hepatic encephalopathy was the most reported complication in 13 (68.4%) cases. Most of the patients were managed conservatively and 2 patients were taken up for liver transplantation. Only 1 death was reported (5.3%). Dengue infection may rarely lead to ALF. These patients may frequently require intensive care and organ support. Even though most of these patients may improve with supportive care, liver transplantation may be a therapeutic option in refractory cases.

Current status and future perspectives on stem cell transplantation for spinal cord injury.

Previous assessments of stem cell therapy for spinal cord injuries (SCI) have encountered challenges and constraints. Current research primarily emphasizes safety in early-phase clinical trials, while systematic reviews prioritize effectiveness, often overlooking safety and translational feasibility. This situation prompts inquiries regarding the readiness for clinical adoption. To offer an up-to-date systematic literature review of clinical trial results con cerning stem cell therapy for SCI. A systematic search was conducted across major medical databases [PubMed, Embase, Reference Citation Analysis (RCA), and Cochrane Library] up to October 14, 2023. The search strategy utilized relevant Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms and keywords related to "spinal cord", "injury", "clinical trials", "stem cells", "functional outcomes", and "adverse events". Studies included in this review consisted of randomized controlled trials and non-randomized controlled trials reporting on the use of stem cell therapies for the treatment of SCI. In a comprehensive review of 66 studies on stem cell therapies for SCI, 496 papers were initially identified, with 237 chosen for full-text analysis. Among them, 236 were deemed eligible after excluding 170 for various reasons. These studies encompassed 1086 patients with varying SCI levels, with cervical injuries being the most common (42.2%). Bone marrow stem cells were the predominant stem cell type used (71.1%), with various administration methods. Follow-up durations averaged around 84.4 months. The 32.7% of patients showed functional impro vement from American spinal injury association Impairment Scale (AIS) A to B, 40.8% from AIS A to C, 5.3% from AIS A to D, and 2.1% from AIS B to C. Sensory improvements were observed in 30.9% of patients. A relatively small number of adverse events were recorded, including fever (15.1%), headaches (4.3%), muscle tension (3.1%), and dizziness (2.6%), highlighting the potential for SCI recovery with stem cell therapy. In the realm of SCI treatment, stem cell-based therapies show promise, but clinical trials reveal potential adverse events and limitations, underscoring the need for meticulous optimization of transplantation conditions and parameters, caution against swift clinical implementation, a deeper understanding of SCI pathophysiology, and addressing ethical, tumorigenicity, immunogenicity, and immunotoxicity concerns before gradual and careful adoption in clinical practice.

Web-Based Information on Spinal Cord Stimulation: Qualitative Assessment of Publicly Accessible Online Resources.

Despite the growing accessibility of web-based information related to spinal cord stimulation (SCS), the content and quality of commonly encountered websites remain unknown. This study aimed to assess the content and quality of web-based information on SCS. This qualitative study was prospectively registered in Open Science Framework. Google Trends was used to identify the top trending, SCS-related search queries from 2012 to 2022. Top queried terms were then entered into separate search engines. Information found on websites within the first 2 pages of results was extracted and assessed for quality using the DISCERN instrument, the Journal of the American Medical Association benchmark criteria, and the Health on the Net Foundation code of conduct certification. Website readability and SCS-related information were also assessed. After exclusions, 42 unique sites were identified (scientific resources: n=6, nonprofit: n=12, for-profit: n=20, news or media: n=2, and personal or blog: n=2). Overall, information quality was moderate (DISCERN). Few sites met all the Journal of the American Medical Association benchmark criteria (n=3, 7%) or had Health on the Net Foundation certification (n=7, 16%). On average, information was difficult to read, requiring a 9th- to 10th-grade level of reading comprehension. Sites described SCS subcategories (n=14, 33%), indications (n=38, 90%), contraindications (n=14, 33%), side effects or risks (n=28, 66%), device considerations (n=25, 59%), follow-up (n=22, 52%), expected outcomes (n=31, 73%), provided authorship details (n=20, 47%), and publication dates (n=19, 45%). The proportion of for-profit sites reporting authorship information was comparatively less than other site types (n=3, 15%). Almost all sites focused on surgically implanted SCS (n=37, 88%). On average, nonprofit sites contained the greatest number of peer-reviewed reference citations (n=6, 50%). For-profit sites showed the highest proportion of physician or clinical referrals among site types (n=17, 85%) indicating implicit bias (ie, auto-referral). Overall, our findings suggest the public may be exposed to incomplete or dated information from unidentifiable sources that could put consumers and patient groups at risk.

Pendidikan Karakter dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an (Analisis Corak Tafsir Tarbawi dalam Qs. Luqman Ayat 12-19)

Education plays a crucial role as a means to enhance the quality of human resources. However, the challenge faced by education today is the occurrence of moral decadence. The Quran, as the source of Islamic teachings related to all aspects of human life, contains answers to various issues, including the educational aspect. Nevertheless, not everyone can easily understand it. Hence, commentators or experts in interpretation, known as mufassir, emerged to facilitate our understanding of the Quran. The verses under study in this research are from Surah Luqman, specifically from verse 12 to verse 19. The research applies a literature approach, where information and data are gathered from various library sources. The data is divided into two types: primary data from the Tafsir Al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab, and secondary data from relevant articles and books. The analysis process involves data collection, classification based on the research formula, citation of references to organize findings, abstraction to obtain concrete information, and interpretation of data with conclusions drawn. The result of this research is the pattern of tarbawi interpretation with a specific orientation toward interpreting Quranic verses related to education and educational goals. One form of tarbawi interpretation is M. Quraish Shihab's interpretation of Surah Luqman verses 12-19, which discusses the teaching of wisdom and advice provided by Luqman to his son. This interpretation is relevant to modern character education values, supplemented with Islamic teachings. In the Islamic perspective, character is not only identified with morality. Noble character or morality is produced through the application of Sharia (worship and transactions) based on a strong foundation of faith ('aqidah).

The relationship between kidney disease and mitochondria: a bibliometric study

Background Due to its highly reabsorptive function, the kidney is a mitochondria-dependent organ. Research on the association between mitochondria and kidney disease has always been a serious focus of researchers, with many publications. Bibliometrics is a secondary analysis of published literature that extracts relevant information to gain insights into hotspots and trends in the field. Through bibliometric analysis, we aimed to understand the development trends and hotspots in the field of research on the association between kidney disease and mitochondria. Method Three bibliometric mapping tools (Biblimetrix R Package, VOS Viewer, CiteSpace) were used to provide an overview of the literature and analyze the co-occurrence of keywords and reference citations. Results A total of 2672 relevant research articles were included. The co-occurrence network identified three clusters related to the association between mitochondria and kidney disease, including experimental methods, research mechanisms, and disease phenotypes. We found that research in this field has shifted from disease-level studies to mechanism-based studies, with the most prominent disease being diabetic nephropathy and the most prominent pathogenic mechanism being related to mitochondrial ROS production. Conclusion The bibliometric analysis provided a comprehensive understanding of the progress of research on the role of mitochondria in kidney disease, enriching the review literature in this field.

Adhesion and volume filling in one-dimensional population dynamics under Dirichlet boundary condition

We generalize the one-dimensional population model of Anguige & Schmeiser [1] reflecting the cell-to-cell adhesion and volume filling and classify the resulting equation into the six types. Among these types, we fix one that yields a class of advection-diffusion equations of forward-backward-forward type and prove the existence of infinitely many global-in-time weak solutions to the initial-Dirichlet boundary value problem when the maximum value of an initial population density exceeds a certain threshold. Such solutions are extracted from the method of convex integration by Müller & Šverák [12]; they exhibit fine-scale density mixtures over a finite time interval, then become smooth and identical, and decay exponentially and uniformly to zero as time approaches infinity.

Nasogastric tube syndrome: A Meta-summary of case reports.

Since its description in 1790 by Hunter, the nasogastric tube (NGT) is commonly used in any healthcare setting for alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms or enteral feeding. However, the risks associated with its placement are often underestimated. Upper airway obstruction with a NGT is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication. NGT syndrome is characterized by the presence of an NGT, throat pain and vocal cord (VC) paralysis, usually bilateral. It is potentially life-threatening, and early diagnosis is the key to the prevention of fatal upper airway obstruction. However, fewer cases may have been reported than might have occurred, primarily due to the clinicians' unawareness. The lack of specific signs and symptoms and the inability to prove temporal relation with NGT insertion has made diagnosing the syndrome quite challenging. To review and collate the data from the published case reports and case series to understand the possible risk factors, early warning signs and symptoms for timely detection to prevent the manifestation of the complete syndrome with life-threatening airway obstruction. We conducted a systematic search for this meta-summary from the database of PubMed, EMBASE, Reference Citation Analysis (https://www.referencecitationanalysis.com/) and Google scholar, from all the past studies till August 2023. The search terms included major MESH terms "Nasogastric tube", "Intubation, Gastrointestinal", "Vocal Cord Paralysis", and "Syndrome". All the case reports and case series were evaluated, and the data were extracted for patient demographics, clinical symptomatology, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, clinical course and outcomes. A datasheet for evaluation was further prepared. Twenty-seven cases, from five case series and 13 case reports, of NGT syndrome were retrieved from our search. There was male predominance (17, 62.96%), and age at presentation ranged from 28 to 86 years. Ten patients had diabetes mellitus (37.04%), and nine were hypertensive (33.33%). Only three (11.11%) patients were reported to be immunocompromised. The median time for developing symptoms after NGT insertion was 14.5 d (interquartile range 6.25-33.75 d). The most commonly reported reason for NGT insertion was acute stroke (10, 37.01%) and the most commonly reported symptoms were stridor or wheezing 17 (62.96%). In 77.78% of cases, bilateral VC were affected. The only treatment instituted in most patients (77.78%) was removing the NG tube. Most patients (62.96%) required tracheostomy for airway protection. But 8 of the 23 survivors recovered within five weeks and could be decannulated. Three patients were reported to have died. NGT syndrome is an uncommon clinical complication of a very common clinical procedure. However, an under-reporting is possible because of misdiagnosis or lack of awareness among clinicians. Patients in early stages and with mild symptoms may be missed. Further, high variability in the presentation timing after NGT insertion makes diagnosis challenging. Early diagnosis and prompt removal of NGT may suffice in most patients, but a significant proportion of patients presenting with respiratory compromise may require tracheostomy for airway protection.

Inflammation in intracerebral hemorrhage: A bibliometric perspective

BackgroundIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe stroke that can adversely affect patient outcomes due to the accompanying inflammatory response. As a result, there is a growing interest in studying inflammation in ICH. We systematically reviewed relevant articles using the Web of Science to understand the literature on this subject. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the field through bibliometric analysis, highlight its current status, identify frontiers, and speculate on future directions. MethodsWe conducted a bibliometric analysis of the global English literature on inflammation related to ICH research based on the Web of Science from 1993 to the present to address publication trends and research hotspots. ResultsA total of 885 publications were included from 1993 to 2023. These articles were authored by 7375 researchers from 1639 organizations in 68 countries and published in 571 journals. Collectively, they cited 48,980 references from 5621 journals. The author who published the most articles was Dr. Zhang, John H. Interestingly, 6 of the top ten most published authors were from China. Regarding the countries that published the most articles, China was at the top of the list, followed by the United States. The most frequently used keywords were “Inflammation”, “Neuroinflammation”, and “Microglia”. Regarding journal publication and reference citations, Stroke was the most published and cited journal. ConclusionsOver the past 30 years, there has been considerable progress in scientific research concerning inflammation in the context of ICH. The pivotal themes of these studies have been immune cells and inflammatory mediators. It is worth noting, however, that most of the published literature on inflammation in ICH pertains to preclinical studies, with comparatively fewer clinical investigations. Several challenges must be addressed to translate these promising research achievements into clinical practice.

Citations of Publications on Foreign Direct Investments into Agribusiness: Nature, Variability and Drivers

The recognition that one publication receives from another is a citation. The nature of these references (citations), their variability and the drivers of the citations concerning the subject of foreign investment in agribusiness are unknown. Consequently, we investigated the nature, variability, and drivers of the citations in the writings on foreign investment in agribusiness. We used 406 studies extracted from Google Scholar through Publish or Perish Software and modeled with a two-part regression analysis. The results show that peer-reviewed publications, age of publication, full text in Google scholar, collaborative publications and self-citation enhance citations. Review articles and publishing in journals with impact factors do not promote citations. To make an impact through citations, authors and funders must focus on peer review, full text, and collaborative publications and engage in self-citation.

Significance of fostering the mental health of patients with diabetes through critical time intervention.

Critical time intervention (CTI) is an evidence-based model of practice that is time-limited and aims to provide support for most susceptible individuals during a transition period. To examine the significance of fostering the mental health of diabetes patients through CTI using the scoping review methodology. As part of the scoping review process, we followed the guidelines established by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The search databases were Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Reference Citation Analysis (https://www.referencecitationanalysis.com/), and Cochrane Library. From these databases, 77 articles were retrieved with the aid of carefully selected search terms. However, 19 studies were selected after two reviewers appraised the full texts to ensure that they are all eligible for inclusion, while 54 papers were excluded. This study revealed that diabetic patients who had experienced homelessness were at higher risk of being diagnosed with mental illness and that social support services are impactful in the management of the comorbidity of diabetes and mental health problems. In addition, this review reveals that CTI is impactful in enhancing the mental health of homeless patients during the transitional period from the hospital through social support services. CTI is a promising intervention for alleviating mental health symptoms in homeless patients. Empirical studies are needed across the globe, involving both hospitalized and community-based patients, to determine how clinically effectively CTI is in managing the mental health of diabetics.

The Outcome of Exercise for Adults and Older Adults with Visual Impairment: A Scoping Review Protocol

Introduction: Exercise programs provide numerous health benefits, including improved physical fitness, psychosocial status, and sense of well-being. Previous research has identified a range of positive outcomes as a result of exercise for most populations; however, the current understanding of the exercise outcomes for adults from 18 to 65 years and older adults over 65 years with visual impairment is limited. Objective: The proposed scoping review aims to allow a better understanding of current exercise outcomes for adults (including older adults) with visual impairment. This protocol enhances the research quality and the transparency of the proposed scoping review. It pre-defines the objective and methods of the scoping review, including details of the criteria of inclusion and exclusion for evidence sources and the way the data will be identified, extracted, and presented. Inclusion criteria: Articles involving participants with visual impairment aged 18 and over will be the focus of the proposed scoping review. All English-language peer-reviewed studies with a focus on outcomes of exercise programs and interventions for adults with visual impairment, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods study designs, will be considered. In order to make the result more applicable for future research and practice, studies published from 2000 to present will be included, given consideration of the changing concept and format of exercise since 2000. The exercise-related programs and interventions to be included can be delivered via any format in any geographical area. Methods: The search strategy will aim to locate all eligible published studies in the following databases: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL Complete, PsycInfo, AMED, and SPORTDiscus. Full text review will be undertaken of articles that meet criteria on initial review of title and abstract. Reference lists and citations of studies selected for full text review will be further reviewed to identify any additional studies that meet inclusion. Data from the selected studies will be extracted and tabulated based on the exercise and the key findings relevant to the research question. Findings from this scoping review will be presented as a summary of the data from the selected studies in a tabular form, which will categorize exercise outcomes and the corresponding exercise along with a narrative summary. Conclusion: It is expected that the results of this scoping review will enable a better understanding of exercise for adults with visual impairments and inform future exercise programs for adults with visual impairment.
