The Implication of Diabetes-Specialized Nurses in Aiming for the Better Treatment and Management of Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: A Brief Narrative Review
AbstractDiabetes mellitus (DM) is regarded as one of the most critical public health challenges of the 21st century. It has evolved into a burgeoning epidemic since the last century, and today ranks among the major causes of mortality worldwide. Diabetes specialist nurses (DSNs) are central to good patient care and outcomes including confident self-care management. Evidence shows that DSNs are cost-effective, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce length of stay in hospital. In this brief narrative review, we aim to describe the roles of DSNs and their contribution in the treatment and management of patients with DM. This n...

Milieu Management and Therapeutic Groups in Inpatient Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Units
The therapeutic milieu has long been considered an essential mechanism of recovery for youth requiring inpatient psychiatric admissions. However, with increasing demand for crisis services, shrinking length of stay, rising patient acuity, and critical workforce shortages, innovation is necessary to maintain the goals of the therapeutic milieu (and equip the workforce to meet this challenge). This review surveys the evolution of the goals of milieu therapy over time, evidence for increasing challenges, and initial evidence for possible solutions. The study concludes with a case example detailing efforts to improve milieu th...

Utility of White Light Scanning as an alternative to computed tomography to evaluate severity of pectus excavatum deformity
Pectus excavatum (PE) severity and surgical candidacy are determined by computed tomography (CT)-delineated Haller Index (HI) and Correction Index (CI). White Light Scan (WLS) has been proposed as a non-ionizing alternative. The purpose of this retrospective study is to create models to determine PE severity using WLS as a non-ionizing alternative to CT. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Adolescent Treatment Resistant Depression – A Case Report
Adolescence is a critical time period for the onset of depression and many patients do not respond to treatment. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) may be a promising alternative. Here we present the case of an adolescent girl with treatment resistant depression, receiving taVNS over the course of 7.5 months. (Source: The Journal of Pediatrics)

Peptide-Based electrochemical potential Scanning: A novel approach for disulfide manipulation in pediatric Respiratory syncytial virus detection
This study introduces an innovative approach using peptides and electrochemical potential scanning for RSV detection. By replacing enzymatic catalysis with electrochemical scanning, the method simplifies the process and reduces costs. Unbound peptides undergo potential-induced disulfide bridge opening, while target-bound peptides remain protected. After removing the target protein, copper ions and a reduced short peptide promote disulfide bridge formation, leading to crosslinking and passivation of the electrode surface. The degree of polymerization and passivation correlates with the target protein levels, generating a si...
