Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about current practices for the acute neuropsychiatric management of older adults during emergency department (ED) visits. Researchers will compare current standard of care practices with implemented guideline practice to see if standardized medication guidelines help reduce the usage of antipsychotics and/or benzodiazepines during acute presentations. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - How many older adults are receiving antipsychotics or benzodiazepines during emergency department visits? - Why are older adults receiving antipsychotics or benzodiazepines during emergency department visits? - How many older adults who receive antipsychotics or benzodiazepines during emergency department visits have an underlying cognitive or movement disorder? - What effects does administration of antipsychotics or benzodiazepines during emergency department visits have on patient outcomes in older adults and adults with neurocognitive disorders? - Does implementation of standardized medication guidelines help reduce the usage of antipsychotics and/or benzodiazepines during acute presentations?
Nurse leaders will be required to manage the rapid change in the healthcare system. Talent management training plays a crucial role in preparing nursing leaders and improving their performance in health care systems.
Caring leadership can help first-line nurse managers create a healthy environment, resulting in a positive outcome for nurse staff, patients, and healthcare organizations.
Our specific aim is to examine the effects of TMS on reward processing during goal-directed behavior. In these experiments the investigators will utilize a scalp-recorded brain oscillation called frontal midline theta that is believed to index the sensitivity of the cingulate cortex to reward feedback. Here the investigators will asked whether this electrophysiological signal can be modulated up or down using TMS while participants engage in decision making tasks, and if so, whether it would affect the encoding of rewards and subsequent choices during task performance.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a 6-week socialization and sex education curriculum (STEPS2) in young people (aged 16-27 years) with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), including people with Down syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the STEPS2 health education curriculum increase the proportion of individuals who: 1. have had a discussion with a medical professional about their sexual health (including sexually transmitted infection testing for those who are sexually active); 2. know whether they have had the HPV vaccination; 3. have had the HPV vaccination; 4. know what sex is; and 5. know how people get pregnant. These are the primary outcomes which are being measured one year after study enrollment. Secondary outcomes include knowledge around sexual health and behaviors around contraception and STI prevention among those sexually active at baseline, as well as satisfaction with the intervention. Participants are randomized to receive either the socialization and sex education curriculum in the experimental group, called the STEPS2 curriculum, or a nutrition and physical exercise curriculum in the comparison group, called Steps To Your Health (STYH). Participants in the STEPS2 experimental group meet with a health educator in one-on-one individually tailored sessions virtually once a week for one hour for 6 weeks. Participants in the STYH comparison group meet with a health educator in small group sessions of 6-10 participants virtually once a week for one hour for 6 weeks. Researchers will compare sexual and reproductive health knowledge and behaviors one year after study enrollment to see if the STEPS2 curriculum is effective at increasing knowledge and healthy behaviors.

This non-randomized pilot study program is focused on assessing the technical characteristics of the Aspire2B mobile device application.
This randomized clinical trial will aim to evaluate the effect of DryShield isolation (DSI) and Rubber Dam isolation (RDI) systems on arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), behavior, subjective pain and discomfort, and time required among children with different airway patency based on Modified Mallampati classification (MMC). Healthy, cooperative 6-12-year-old children who need fissure sealant in at least two contralateral fully erupted permanent first molars will be included. The airway patency will be determined using MMC by two trained and calibrated dentists. Participants will be categorized based on their MMC score into patent airway (MMC Class I and II) and non-patent airway (MMC Class III and IV). During the treatment, the dental procedure will be videotaped, and the vital signs, including SpO2, HR, and BP, will be recorded every three minutes. A Validated Arabic Version of the Wong-Baker Pain Rating and the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scales will be utilized to record the participants' pain levels. In contrast, Frankl's Behavior will record their behavior during the dental procedure. Following the dental treatment, the participants' subjective pain and discomfort will be evaluated using a previously validated Arabic interview questionnaire.
Seeing the dental syringe can be terrifying, especially for young children. Hiding the dental syringe during local anesthesia (LA) administration can sometimes be challenging for the pediatric dentist. Therefore, this randomized clinical trial aims to assess the effect of a camouflaged dental syringe on children's anxiety and behavioral pain in comparison to the traditional dental syringe during local anesthesia administration in pediatric patients. It will include cooperative and healthy 6-10-year-old children scheduled for non-urgent dental treatment that requires buccal infiltration anesthesia (BIA) in the maxillary arch. The subjects will be randomized into either the test or the control groups. In the test group, subjects will receive BIA using the camouflaged dental syringe. Subjects in the control group will receive the BIA using the traditional dental syringe. A single-trained dentist will administer all the anesthesia. Heart rate (HR) will be monitored at three different time points (before, during, and after) the BIA administration. Subjects' anxiety and behavioral pain will be measured through Venham's Anxiety Rating Scale (VARS) and the Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) scale, respectively, by two trained and calibrated investigators.
