Leadership Strategies to Reduce Risks for Nurse Night Shift Workers
Authors: Hughes Vickie 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe purpose of this systematic review is to identify leadership strategies to help mitigate risks associated with nurse night shift work. An electronic literature search for “Strategies to reduce risks for nurse night shift workers” was conducted using Pubmed, CINAHL, and Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition databases. Inclusion criteria used was English language, full text available, and published dates between January 1, 2005 and May 1, 2015. Based on the search criteria a total of 107 articles were identified. Abstracts for the articles were reviewed for relevance and duplicate citations removed for a total of 16 studies being included in the review. Several strategies were identified that helped increase transparency and control of shift scheduling. One idea was the utilization of open-shift management technology to allow staff to volunteer for open shifts within a multi-site healthcare system. This idea fit well with the self-scheduling model. The literature indicated that that level of control over schedule contributed to improved health and sense of well-being for shift workers. The individual factor of hardiness was found to have protective effects for shift work tolerance. Furthermore, specific guidelines for fatigue management and practice guidelines for shift management standards help reduce risk for staff and patients. Education for staff regarding health risks, sleep management, and circadian approaches were addressed as leadership responsibilities. Other shift work strategies that produced positive outcomes focused on the rate, duration, and direction of rotating shifts.

Published: August 2023

AbstractTelemedicine is defined as the ‘delivery of health care and sharing of medical knowledge over a distance using telecommunication systems’. Echocardiography is often used to diagnose and exclude important cardiac diagnoses in adults and children. Evolving telemedicine technology has boosted access to echocardiography and has created a network that offers many possibilities for clinical, research and teaching activities. The two primary modes of telemedicine practise are ‘ store and forward’ and ‘real time’ videoconferencing. Using these technologies, relevant, up-to-date scientific information is instantly available for analysis and interaction. Studies have also shown these to be accurate, cost effective, improves patient care, enhances echocardiography quality and sonographer proficiency and promotes practice expansion.The growing use of technology such as smart phones, laptops and computer tablets as well as newer technologies like cloud computing, picture archiving computer systems (PACS) and the standardization of medical images (DICOM) has fuelled the now accelerating specific demands for tele-echocardiography. However, all these are not without challenges and obstacles. Some of these include lack of standardization of telemedicine components, confusing medico-legal and licensure issues, privacy/confidentiality, poor reimbursement, training issues as well as attitude and acceptance.These issues need to be addressed by all those involved in medical practice. Clinicians must work with sonographers, medical IT experts, hospital management and hospital physicists as well as manufacturers and insurance companies to ensure that the new system is integrated as an extra function within ultrasound consoles. National and international societies such as the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) could play a role in bringing everyone together and define the necessary training programmes. In conclusion, the revolution in digital technology is rapidly changing the world of telecommunications. Tele-echocardiography has a bright future to become an integrated part of our clinical available echocardiographic tool set – in a matter of time.

Published: August 2023

Background /Aim: The public health burden of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and the need to increase the rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in communities including the world of sports cannot be overemphasized. The study aimed at assessing the level of previous training, practice and present knowledge of bystander CPR among Nigerian athletes.
Methods: A national cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey of Nigerian athletes was carried out involving 25 different sporting events. The participants at the 21st National Sports Festival that held at Delta State, Nigeria filled the questionnaire, which was continued after the festival at some of their various states. The final data was analysed with the SPSS Version 25, using both descriptive and chi-square statistics, as well as one-sample t-test. The significance level was set at P < .05.
Results: In all, 419 athletes participated in the study - 278 (66.3%) males and 141(33.7%) females with age range of 11- 49 years and mean age of 23.43 + 5.66 (SD). On average, 67.86% of the athletes had never had any previous bystander CPR training while 55.73% never practiced the procedure. Significantly more of the athletes never had CPR bystander training before this study (P = .000), as well as no previous practice (P = .0000), which did not significantly differ between contact and non-contact sports athletes. Significantly more of them had poor bystander CPR theoretical knowledge (P = .000) that did not vary significantly between contact and non-contact sports athletes, with average of only 27.23% of the athletes giving correct answers.
Conclusion: The study has revealed significantly low previous training, practice and poor knowledge of bystander CPR among Nigerian athletes. There is urgent need for organised, sustainable bystander CPR training facilities for Nigerian athletes.

ImportanceLipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) is associated with atherosclerotic disease and aortic stenosis. Lp(a) forms by bonding between apolipoprotein(a) (apo[a]) and apo B100. Muvalaplin is an orally administered small molecule that inhibits Lp(a) formation by blocking the apo(a)-apo B100interaction while avoiding interaction with a homologous protein, plasminogen.ObjectiveTo determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic effects of muvalaplin.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis phase 1 randomized, double-blind, parallel-design study enrolled 114 participants (55 assigned to a single-ascending dose; 59 assigned to a multiple-ascending dose group) at 1 site in the Netherlands.InterventionsThe single ascending dose treatment evaluated the effect of a single dose of muvalaplin ranging from 1 mg to 800 mg or placebo taken by healthy participants with any Lp(a) level. The multiple ascending dose treatment evaluated the effect of taking daily doses of muvalaplin (30 mg to 800 mg) or placebo for 14 days in patients with Lp(a) levels of 30 mg/dL or higher.Main Outcomes and MeasuresOutcomes included safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and exploratory pharmacodynamic biomarkers.ResultsAmong 114 randomized (55 in the single ascending dose group: mean [SD] age, 29 [10] years, 35 females [64%], 2 American Indian or Alaska Native [4%], 50 White [91%], 3 multiracial [5%]; 59 in the multiple ascending dose group: mean [SD] age 32 [15] years; 34 females [58%]; 3 American Indian or Alaska Native [5%], 6 Black [10%], 47 White [80%], 3 multiracial [5%]), 105 completed the trial. Muvalaplin was not associated with tolerability concerns or clinically significant adverse effects. Oral doses of 30 mg to 800 mg for 14 days resulted in increasing muvalaplin plasma concentrations and half-life ranging from 70 to 414 hours. Muvalaplin lowered Lp(a) plasma levels within 24 hours after the first dose, with further Lp(a) reduction on repeated dosing. Maximum placebo-adjusted Lp(a) reduction was 63% to 65%, resulting in Lp(a) plasma levels less than 50 mg/dL in 93% of participants, with similar effects at daily doses of 100 mg or more. No clinically significant changes in plasminogen levels or activity were observed.ConclusionMuvalaplin, a selective small molecule inhibitor of Lp(a) formation, was not associated with tolerability concerns and lowered Lp(a) levels up to 65% following daily administration for 14 days. Longer and larger trials will be required to further evaluate safety, tolerability, and effect of muvalaplin on Lp(a) levels and cardiovascular outcomes.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT04472676

Published: August 2023

AbstractOver the last decades, high‐dimensional datasets, notably with largep, smalln, have become commonplace in a wide range of applications in several fields, such as medicine, genomics, ecology, astronomy, finance, image processing, and social networks. At the same time, Bayesian variable selection methods have experienced substantial development. Specifically, the spike‐and‐slab mixture priors have been an important tool for most high‐dimensional variable selection and shrinkage methods in the Bayesian framework. Thus, in this article, we briefly review discrete and continuous spike‐and‐slab priors in linear settings, as well as their extensions to a wide variety of statistical problems. Our focus, however, will be on the variable selection and parameter estimation in linear regression models with compositional covariates via the spike‐and‐slab LASSO procedure.

Abstract
Until not so long ago, data analytics was a niche field primarily reserved for researchers and analysts in academia or selected organizations where data processing was a critical function. Today, data are available about virtually every aspect of organizational activity. This shift presents exciting opportunities to leverage on data analytics to support organizational development in numerous ways. Moreover, this shift also necessitates that organizations develop data analytics competencies among their staff, extending their roles and responsibilities towards using data in their daily activities. It demands that managers have a working knowledge of fundamental analytics concepts for descriptive and predictive analytics such as hypothesis testing and regression analysis, as well as an understanding of the phases a typical data analytics task needs to go through.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe construction of interfacial electric field (IEF) in semiconductor heterojunction is of great significance in boosting photocatalytic hydrogen evolution through efficient separation of photogenerated charge‐carriers. However, the exploitation of IEF in type‐I heterojunction has not been proposed for designing photocatalysts. Herein, based on the density functional theory prediction, p‐SnS with different work functions modulated by Sn‐vacancy are compounded with n‐ZnIn2S4 containing S‐vacancy to form type‐I heterojunction. The optimized SnS/ZnIn2S4 photocatalyst without co‐catalysts exhibits an impressive hydrogen evolution rate of 22.75 mmol g−1 h−1, 6.23 times of ZnIn2S4. Systematic investigations reveal that the interfacial Sn‐S bond acts as a transport channel that accelerates the interface charge‐carriers transfer under the promotion of IEF originating from the significant Fermi level difference. A large difference in the surface photovoltage signal of SnS/ZnIn2S4 and ZnIn2S4 is achieved from effective photogenerated charge‐carriers separation by IEF. The new p‐n type‐I scheme of SnS/ZnIn2S4 induced by the interfacial mediation can separate the photogenerated charge‐carriers, and retain the highly reductive electrons of ZnIn2S4 for hydrogen evolution, overcoming the disadvantage of reduction potential decline in the typical type‐I scheme. This study will afford a new theoretical basis for the achievement of high‐efficiency photocatalytic hydrogen evolution through interface modulation.

Published: August 2023

AbstractBiopolymers offer vast potential for renewable and sustainable devices. While nature mastered the use of biopolymers to create highly complex 3D structures and optimized their photonic response, artificially created structures still lack nature's diversity. To bridge this gap between natural and engineered biophotonic structures, fundamental questions such as the natural formation process and the interplay of structural order and disorder must be answered. Herein, biological photonic structures and their characterization techniques are reviewed, focusing on those structures not yet artificially manufactured. Then, employed and potential nanofabrication strategies for biomimetic, bio‐templated, and artificially created biopolymeric photonic structures are discussed. The discussion is extended to responsive biopolymer photonic structures and hybrid structures. Last, future fundamental physics, chemistry, and nanotechnology challenges related to biopolymer photonics are foreseen.
