NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? In heat-stressed individuals, does high-intensity interval exercise reduce tolerance to a simulated haemorrhagic challenge (lower body negative pressure, LBNP) relative to steady state exercise? What is the main finding and its importance? LBNP tolerance was lower in heat-stressed individuals following high-intensity interval exercise relative to steady state exercise. This was likely owing to the greater cardiovascular strain required to maintain arterial blood pressure prior to and early during LBNP following high-intensity interval exercise. These findings are of importance for individuals working in occupations in which combined heat stress and intense intermittent exercise are common and where the risk of haemorrhagic injury is increased. ABSTRACT This study investigated whether tolerance to a simulated haemorrhagic challenge (lower body negative pressure, LBNP) was lower in heat-stressed individuals following high-intensity interval exercise relat= 0.0085). In heat-stressed individuals, tolerance to a simulated haemorrhagic challenge is reduced following high-intensity interval exercise relative to steady state exercise. © 2020 The Authors.

Although recent studies have qualitatively suggested neutrons as a cause of malfunction, numerical understanding has not been reached. The purpose of this work is to quantitatively clarify the contribution of secondary neutrons from out-of-field irradiation to the malfunction of CIEDs as well as to deduce the frequency of malfunctions until completion of prostate cancer treatment as a typical case. MATERIALS AND METHODS Measured data were gathered from the literature and were re-analyzed. Firstly, linear relationship for a number of malfunctions to the neutron dose was suggested by theoretical consideration. Secondly, the accumulated number of malfunctions of CIEDs gathered from the literature was compared with the prescribed dose, scattered photon dose, and secondary neutron dose for analysis of their correlation. Thirdly, the number of malfunctions during a course of prostate ose is a good scale for the risk of CIEDs in radiotherapy. Prediction of the frequency of malfunction as well as discussion of the risk to CIEDs in radiotherapy among the multiple modalities have become possible. Because the present study quantitatively clarifies the neutron contribution to malfunction, revision of clinical guidelines is suggested. © 2020 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.BACKGROUND Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2) is regarded as a mast cell-specific receptor mediating non-IgE-dependent activation. We aimed to investigate whether human basophils and eosinophils express functional MRGPRX2. METHODS Flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence, Western blot, and RT-PCR were performed in highly purified peripheral blood basophils and eosinophils of atopic and nonatopic donors. To assess functional activity, fluorescent avidin-based degranulation assay, calcium mobilization, cytokine production in supernatants, assessment of viability/apoptosis, and tricolor granulocyte activation test were used. RESULTS MRGPRX2 was significantly expressed by basophils and eosinophils but not neutrophils. Functional capacity was shown by anti-MRGPRX2 mAb-induced calcium influx and concentration-dependent induction of degranulation. Sequential stimulation in the calcium mobilization assay gave no evidence for desensitization or receptor internalization.

The setting was a 27-bed, adult psychiatric unit in a community-based teaching hospital located in the Northeast region of the United States. The EPFRAT and MFS were used to assess fall risk in 216 patients over 3 months. Findings indicated that the EPFRAT was more user-friendly and relevant; improved nurses' clinical judgment in identifying high-risk patients; and nurses were supportive toward changing practice from using the MFS to EPFRAT for fall risk assessment. Falls with injury rates decreased by 0.52 per 1,000 patient care days post-implementation of the EPFRAT. [Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 58(2), 21-26.].

One of the reasons may be the common adverse drug effects and drug-drug interactions of certain medications. This article reviews adverse drug effects (including less serious side effects), the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics involved in adverse effects, and the pharmacokinetics of drug interactions. For medications to be effective in treating mental disorders, nurses need to carefully assess clients and their motivations for taking medications, routinely inquire about when and how they are taking their prescriptions, any adverse effects they are experiencing, and how they are managing common, less severe adverse effects.

Faculty designed an educational escape room to engage nursing students and improve knowledge in cardiovascular critical care. METHOD This study evaluated the educational innovation's impact on changes in knowledge and perceptions of the educational innovation with a pre- and postknowledge assessment and a validated perception survey. Students discussed their experiences and reflections in a focus group. RESULTS Pre- and postknowledge assessment scores showed statistically significant improvements in knowledge (p less then .05). Student perceptions were statistically significantly higher than the mean value for the evaluation scale (p less then .001). Analysis of focus group transcriptions revealed four themes Logistics of the Learning Activity, Cognitive Learning, Team Learning, and Professional Practice Skills. CONCLUSION The cardiovascular escape room increased student knowledge and was positively received by students.
