Michelle is moving ahead after experiencing a stroke
In fall of 2014, I was a senior, excited about finishing high school in New Hampshire and heading off to college. But I could never have guessed what the year would bring. I was an avid lacrosse player and competing in my fifth game of a tournament when I started to notice I was having trouble seeing out of my left eye. Soon, my hand felt weird and I couldn’t grip the stick properly. As I sat on the sidelines, onlookers recommended I be taken to a local hospital. Recovering from stroke I can’t remember a lot of what happened next, but I know that the emergency doctors believed I had a stroke. They sent me to the Stroke...

Promoting Evidence-Based Practice at a Primary Stroke Center: A Nurse Education Strategy.
DISCUSSION: This nurse education strategy increased RNs' confidence in ability to explain the path from evidence to bedside nursing care by demonstrating how evidence-based clinical practice guidelines provide current evidence used to create standardized order sets. Although further evaluation of the intervention's effectiveness is needed, this educational intervention has the potential for generalization to different types of standardized order sets to increase nurse confidence in utilization of evidence-based practice.

Comprehensive Sickle Cell Disease Management Is Associated with Superior Grade Attainment and High School Graduation Rates
Discussion: In this cohort, a high percentage of patients (86.7%) graduated or were on track to graduate from high school. In the United States, approximately 90% of patients with SCD are African American. All patients analyzed here were African American. With this in mind, ACHSCDP patients' graduation rate compares favorably to estimated graduation rates across the US general population (84%), the U.S. African America population (76%), the U.S. sickle cell patient population (71%), the Ohio general population (84%), and the Ohio African American population (68%).The higher graduation rate among children at the ACHSCDP is ...

Healing through music
The last time I had a mammogram, I got a big surprise — and it was a good one. A string quartet was playing just outside the doors of the breast imaging center, and my thoughts immediately shifted from “What are they going to find on the mammogram?” to “Is that Schubert, or Beethoven?” By the time my name was called, I had almost forgotten why I was there. The unexpected concert was the work of Holly Chartrand and Lorrie Kubicek, music therapists and co-coordinators of the Environmental Music Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. But bringing music to hospital corridors is just a sideline for music therapist...

Healthcare in transition in the Republic of Armenia: the evolution of emergency medical systems and directions forward
AbstractArmenia, an ex-Soviet Republic in transition since independence in 1991, has made remarkable strides in development. The crisis of prioritization that has plagued many post-Soviet republics in transition has meant differential growth in varied sectors in Armenia. Emergency systems is one of the sectors which is neglected in the current drive to modernize. The legacy of the Soviet Semashko system has left a void in specialized care including emergency care. This manuscript is a descriptive overview of the current state of emergency care in Armenia using in-depth key informant interviews and review of published and u...

Scientists jump-start two people ’s brains after coma
In 2016, a team led by UCLA ’s Martin Monti reported that a 25-year-old man recovering from a coma had made remarkable progress following a treatment to jump-start his brain using ultrasound.Wired U.K. called the news one of the  best things that happened in 2016. At the time, Monti acknowledged that although he was encouraged by the outcome, it was possible the scientists had gotten a little lucky.Now, Monti and colleagues report that two more patients with severe brain injuries — both had been in what scientists call a long-term “minimally conscious state” — have made impressive progress thanks to the same te...

Smoking behaviour trends among Portuguese physicians: are they role models? A conference-based survey
This study explores smoking behaviour among Portuguese physicians and addresses the research question: Do Portuguese physicians act as role models by smoking less than the general population or reporting willingness to quit?
