Median LOS was 25 days (IQR 15-42). In-hospital death was independently associated with Total Burn Surface Area percentage "TBSA%" (OR=3.96; 95% CI=1.67-9.40) and Full thickness Burns "FTB" (10.68; 1.34-84.74); prolongated LOS with FTB (3.35; 1.07-10.49), and complication with rural origin (5.84; 1.51-22.53), TBSA% (3.96; 1.67-9.40), FTB (4.08; 1.19-14.00) and burns on multiple sites (4.38; 1.38-13.86). In-hospital death was associated with TBSA% and FTB, prolongated LOS with FTB, and complication with burns characteristics and rural origin of the patients. Further studies are necessary to investigate the effect of provided burn care on outcomes.In-hospital death was associated with TBSA% and FTB, prolongated LOS with FTB, and complication with burns characteristics and rural origin of the patients. Further studies are necessary to investigate the effect of provided burn care on outcomes. To investigate the association between muscular strength and metabolic syndrome (MetS), with a specific focus on the role of weight status, using a nationally representative sample of US youth. The analysis included 409 boys and 415 girls from the 2011 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 12 and 18years of age. The prevalence of MetS was defined using age- and sex-specific criteria for abdominal obesity, elevated triglycerides, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Strength was assessed via handgrip dynamometer and expressed as age- and sex-specific z scores of relative strength. Low strength was defined as a relative strength below the 25th percentile. Analyses controlled for age, sex, race/ethnicity, physical activity, and weight status. The sample prevalence of MetS was approximately 5.3%. However, MetS prevalence was 18.5% in overweight/obese youth with low strength. The adjusted odds of MetS were 3.1 (95% confidence interval, 1.5-6.3, P < .001) times higher for overweight/obese youth with low strength versus sufficient strength. Muscular strength is predictive of adolescent MetS, specifically in those with unhealthy weight status. Approximately one in 5 overweight/obese youth with low strength had MetS. These findings highlight the relevance of muscular strength in youth cardiometabolic morbidities.Muscular strength is predictive of adolescent MetS, specifically in those with unhealthy weight status.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the Coronavirus disease 2019 on male and female anthropometric variables and physical performance. This study utilized a mixed (time [PRE vs POST], gender [male vs female]) methods design to examine changes in the body mass index and physical fitness performance measures prior to and following closures. Data were collected from 264 third through eighth graders. This sample consisted of 131 males and 133 females. The data was collected through anthropometric (body mass index) and physical performance measures and was analyzed with separate 2 × 2 mixed-factorial analyses of variance (time [PRE, POST] × gender [male, female]). The findings indicated both males and females exhibited mean increases in the body mass index (+10.6%; 18.8-20.8kg·m-2, P < .001, partial η2 = .627) and decreases in push-ups (-35.6%; 7.3-4.7 repetitions, P < .001, partial η2 = .371), sit-ups (-19.4%; 22.7-18.3 repetitions, P < .001, partial η2 = .420), and the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run test (-26.7%; 31.4-22.4 laps, P < .001, partial η2 = .644) scores from PRE to POST. The results of this study demonstrate that both males and females exhibited significant anthropometric and physical performance losses during the Coronavirus disease 2019 shutdown.The results of this study demonstrate that both males and females exhibited significant anthropometric and physical performance losses during the Coronavirus disease 2019 shutdown.Well-organized clinical placements in older adult care settings will prepare nursing students to provide care for this growing population and may influence career choices. The purpose of this integrative review is to identify strategies that can be used to provide student nurses with effective clinical education experiences in residential aged care facilities offering skilled nursing (RACF-SNs). Twenty-three studies evaluating teaching and learning models and experiences were reviewed. Four themes were identified related to effective strategies for providing gerontological clinical education to students in residential aged care environments, principally nursing homes. These were developing a partnership, comprehensive orientation, effective supervision for students, and supporting staff. Eight different models were described for enhancing clinical learning experiences in these environments. These models reflect the themes highlighted in the review. BPTES manufacturer Relevance of the findings to a conceptual framework for evaluating gerontological clinical placements, the Senses Framework, is considered. Strong partnerships between schools of nursing and residential aged care environments can provide well-organized clinical education to undergraduate nursing students. To be sustainable, these partnerships must be developed in ways that do not require significant additional resources. A guideline for this process based on findings of the review has been developed.The transition from student to novice is a difficult time. Although the novice nurse is excited to start working, the nurse struggles with acclimating to a new role with new responsibilities and the need to reconcile disparities between what was taught in school and what is practiced in the real world. To lessen the impact of the transition experience, health care organizations have implemented transition-to-practice programs including orientations, preceptorships, and residencies. Despite these efforts, if the novice nurse does not find these programs helpful, there is still a risk that the transition experience will not conclude with successful results. This integrative review examined qualitative studies that explored the transition-to-practice experience of novice nurses who participated in a transition-to-practice program provided by their place of employment. Thirteen articles met the criteria for this integrative review; seven themes emerged from the commonalities in the studies socialization, professional growth, feeling supported, transition challenges, reflections, transition shock, and feelings.
