Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the most ubiquitous mental health problem in children, has been associated with poor self-esteem. Psychosocial interventions have aimed to improve self-esteem among this group, aim of reducing development comorbid depression and anxiety. The present study implemented a randomized control design examine possibility Animal Assisted Interventions (AAI) as viable approach improving children ADHD. Children's across multiple domains measured by...
Fusarium wilt, caused by oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol), causes losses in tomato production worldwide, with major impacts on Californian processing. Single-gene resistance is the primary management tool, but its efficacy has been compromised following emergence of two successive resistance-breaking races, which, California, emerged within 12 years deployment. Fol race 3-resistant (F3) processing cultivars (containing I3 gene) were deployed state starting approximately 2009. The a new...
Abstract Purpose Civilian healthcare professionals provide approximately 2/3 of the for 2 million U.S. military children. The President United States has made their care and support a top national security priority. purpose this article is to arm NPs with information necessary 21st century child by providing current data on family life, deployments, impact children health‐seeking behaviors. Data sources Literature collected from identified through searches PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo covering...
We aimed to describe the association between insertion of a new long-term enteral feeding tube during admission for aspiration and in-hospital mortality.
Clinical competency validation is essential for nurse practitioner (NP) education and public accountability. While there has been robust discussion around what constitutes clinical assessment, clear consistent definitions measurements remain elusive.This article describes the PRIME-NP model that scalable, reproducible accurately documents NP student across courses.To develop model, work in 5 discrete domains was necessary: (a) development, (b) assessment tool to be used Objective Structured...
Purpose To assess family nurse practitioner (FNP) student perception of research abstract usefulness in clinical decision making. Data sources A randomized controlled trial conducted a simulated environment with graduate FNP students the Graduate School Nursing, Uniformed Services University Health Sciences. Given case study and modified MEDLINE search tool accessible via an iPad device, participants were asked to develop treatment plan complete data collection form. The primary measure was...
ABSTRACT Military children make tremendous sacrifices in support of a parent(s) military service. More than two million have parent who is serving or has served the Armed Forces. Research shows that military-connected are at higher risk physical, psychological, and behavioral health issues. While “resilient” word used to describe most children, it important recognize stresses/stressors life— serve too—to care for them.
Low pressure nasal continuous positive airway (nCPAP) has long been the mainstay of non-invasive respiratory support for preterm neonates, at a constant distending 5-8 cmH2O. When traditional nCPAP pressures are insufficient, other modes including intermittent ventilation (NIPPV) used. In recent years, high (≥9 cmH2O) have also emerged as an alternative. However, comparative benefits and risks these modalities remain unknown. this multicentre pilot randomised controlled trial, infants <29...
ABSTRACT Exploring new roles and responsibilities available to clinicians offers a path renovate nurse practitioner's career. The role of academician faculty broadens career horizons, presents sense autonomy, unique opportunities teach, participate in research, build leadership skills, contribute the health care delivery system at higher level. Advance practice nurses often consider shift academia but are concerned about unfamiliarity entire process. This article elements clinician will...
The Global War on Terror and the ensuing Overseas Contingency Operations has rapidly transformed U.S. military's strategic philosophy for warfare. paradigm shift to unconventional warfare forced military medicine adapt with evolving battle space. To this end, large fixed facility hospitals are being replaced highly mobile austere medical platforms that serve farther forward. transition in operational health care challenged role of all team members. Through evolution modern battlefield,...
This critical discourse analysis examines the construction of an “appropriate” education by Florida administrative law judges in their special final orders over time. The results indicate that despite each child being different, appropriate was uniform within given time periods. Prior to Rowley decision, utilized own judgment constructing education. based on whether or not proposed Individualized Education Program designed meet needs child. Each order avoided discussing detail, credibility,...
Abstract Pediatric low-grade glioma (LGG) and plexiform neurofibroma (PN) universally have up-regulation of the RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Recent phase I II clinical trials evaluating MEK inhibitors for treatment pediatric LGG PN report efficacy tolerable side effects, including no reported ophthalmologic toxicity. Contrary to experience, adult using describe several inhibitor-associated retinopathy (MEKAR), also termed central serous-like retinopathy. MEKAR is...
Background: Nurse practitioner (NP) faculty assess student acquisition of knowledge through examinations, simulation, and clinical performance. Problem: Developing appropriately leveled curriculum, assessments, expectations that accurately capture maturation presents a challenge. Approach: The Reporter, Interpreter, Manager, Educator (RIME) provided the framework for doctor nursing practice NP curriculum redesign to enhance performance content mastery. Faculty used gap analysis approach,...
Objective This study aimed to evaluate whether the initial pressure level on high continuous positive airway (CPAP; ≥9 cm H2O), in relation preextubation mean (Paw), influences short-term clinical outcomes preterm neonates. Study Design In this retrospective cohort study, neonates <29 weeks' gestational age (GA) extubated from Paw H2O and CPAP (≥9 H2O) were classified into “higher CPAP” (2–3 higher than Paw) “equivalent (−1 +1 Paw). Only first eligible extubation per infant was analyzed....
