Sunrise

We created a concise nurse-driven delirium reduction workflow with the aim of reducing delirium rates and length of stay for hospitalized adults. Our nurse-driven workflow included five evidence-based daytime "sunrise" interventions (patient room lights on, blinds up, mobilization/out-of-bed, water within patient's reach and patient awake) and five nighttime "turndown" interventions (patient room lights off, blinds down, television off, noise reduction and pre-set bedtime). Interventions were also chosen because fidelity could be quickly monitored twice daily without patient interruption from outside the room...

Accurate and rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases plays a key role in clinical practice, especially in resource-limited countries. In this study, we integrated sunrise-type smart amplification process (s-SmartAmp), a convenient and sensitive isothermal amplification method for nucleic acid, into a portable 3D-printed device equipped with smartphone-assisted image analysis capabilities to develop a novel fluorescence-based sensing system for the on-site diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). To increase the efficiency of fluorescence (or Förster) resonance energy transfer, two types of sunrise probe systems were compared to detect the IS6110 DNA sequence of TB...

INTRODUCTION: Evidence suggests that responsive caregiving and early learning activities positively impact developmental outcomes, with positive effects throughout the life course. Early childhood development interventions should align with local values, beliefs and resources but there has been little research of caregiver beliefs and perspectives on development and learning, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This qualitative study explored norms, beliefs, practices and aspirations around child development of caregivers of young children in rural Burkina Faso...

Our planet endures a progressive increase in artificial light at night (ALAN), which affects virtually all species, and thereby biodiversity. Mitigation strategies include reducing its intensity and duration, and the adjustment of light spectrum using modern light emitting diode (LED) light sources. Here, we studied ground-dwelling invertebrate (predominantly insects, arachnids, molluscs, millipedes, woodlice and worms) diversity and community composition after 3 or 4 years of continued nightly exposure (every night from sunset to sunrise) to experimental ALAN with three different spectra (white-, and green- and red-dominated light), as well as for a dark control, in natural forest-edge habitat...

Light exposure during twilight plays a critical role in the entrainment of the human circadian system. People are most often at home during dusk and dawn, and light exposure at home - either natural or from electric light - may therefore contribute substantially to sleep and well-being. However, very little research has focused on the effects of home lighting on sleep and well-being, and even less research has investigated the effects of light exposure during twilight. Therefore, a literature study was performed to collect studies on light exposure at home during dusk and dawn...

The IL-17 pathways are involved in the pathophysiology of many inflammatory skin conditions, including hidradenitis suppurativa. Secukinumab, an IL-17A inhibitor, has been used for years in inflammatory skin disorders such as psoriasis. To date, the only US FDA-approved medication for hidradenitis suppurativa is adalimumab, a TNF-α inhibitor. Recently, secukinumab has demonstrated promising results in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa in the phase III SUNSHINE and SUNRISE clinical trials...

BACKGROUND: A single-night attended in-laboratory polysomnography or home sleep testing are common approaches for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis. However, internight variability in apnea-hypopnea index value is common, and may result in misclassification of OSA severity and inapropriate treatment decisions. OBJECTIVE: To investigate factors determining short-term apnea-hypopnea index variability using multi-night automated home sleep testing, and to determine how this variability impacts clinical decisions...

Introduction Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacteria causing chronic stomach infections, influenced by various factors, including host traits and bacterial virulence. It uses both urease-dependent and independent mechanisms to survive acidic gastric environments. Management entails diagnosis, treatment, and eradication verification. Combining drugs is key to overcoming resistance and ensuring bacteria elimination, thus preventing recurrence and complications. H. Pylori eradication mitigates gastric cancer risk and alleviates symptoms...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the time to discharge between daytime and nighttime ketamine administration to children undergoing primary facial repair in the emergency department (ED). METHODS: This retrospective, cross-sectional study was performed in a sample of children aged younger than 18 years and requiring sedation for primary facial repair in 2019. Children who received ketamine for reasons other than facial repair were excluded. All patients were initially injected with 4 mg/kg of ketamine intramuscularly and additionally injected if sedation failed...

BACKGROUND: Abstracting cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) from inpatient electronic medical records (EMRs) through natural language processing (NLP) is pivotal for automated disease surveillance and improving patient outcomes. Existing methods rely on coders' abstraction, which has time delays and under-coding issues. This study sought to develop an NLP-based method to detect CeVD using EMR clinical notes. METHODS: CeVD status was confirmed through a chart review on randomly selected hospitalized patients who were 18 years or older and discharged from 3 hospitals in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, between January 1 and June 30, 2015...

Curcuma is extensively cultivated as a medicinal and ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical regions. Due to the bright bract color, distinctive inflorescence and long blooming period, it has become a new favorite in terms of the urban landscape, potted flowers and cut flowers. However, little research on breeding new cultivars using traditional plant breeding methods is available on the genus Curcuma . In the present study, pollen viability and stigma receptivity evaluation were performed, and the genetic relationship of 38 Curcuma accessions was evaluated, then 5 C...

The reptilian form of hibernation (brumation) is much less studied than its mammalian and insect equivalents. Hibernation and brumation share some basic features but may differ in others. Evidence for hypometabolism in brumating reptiles beyond the effect of temperature is sporadic and often ignored. We calculated the standard metabolic rates (SMR, oxygen uptake during inactivity), in winter and/or summer, of 156 individuals representing 59 species of Israeli squamates across all 17 local families. For 32 species, we measured the same individuals during both seasons...

The efficient analyses of sound recordings obtained through passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) might be challenging owing to the vast amount of data collected using such technique. The development of species-specific acoustic recognizers (e.g., through deep learning) may alleviate the time required for sound recordings but are often difficult to create. Here, we evaluate the effectiveness of BirdNET, a new machine learning tool freely available for automated recognition and acoustic data processing, for correctly identifying and detecting two cryptic forest bird species...

This paper aims to emphasize the need to acknowledge unique cultural and contextual meanings of physical activity to improve health outcomes in different communities. Leininger's Sunrise Model was used as the theoretical base to understand the complex cultural and contextual factors that influence physical activity. Beliefs and practices surrounding physical activity are influenced by a variety of cultural and contextual factors. Providing culturally relevant contexts to the meaning of physical activity allows opportunities for improving policies or programs that would engage individuals and communities in physical activity in culturally meaningful ways...

OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: To examine the effects of lemborexant (LEM) 5 mg (LEM5) or LEM 10 mg (LEM10) following extended placebo treatment. This post-hoc analysis used subject-reported sleep outcomes data from a phase 3 trial. PATIENTS/METHODS: The subjects in these post-hoc analyses were randomized to placebo for 6 months (Time Period [TP]1) in Study E2006-G000-303 (SUNRISE-2; NCT02952820). Following placebo exposure, subjects were re-randomized to LEM5 or LEM10 for another 6 months (TP2)...

PURPOSE: During Ramadan, millions of Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. Fasting influences the hormonal system, sympathetic activity, blood circulation, and metabolic pathways. Because of these changes, we employed optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to investigate the effects of fasting on the macula and optic nerve. METHODS: In this prospective before-and-after study, both eyes of 45 participants were examined. Vascular characteristics of the macula and optic nerve head were evaluated in the morning and evening, once before Ramadan and once on the 20th day of Ramadan...
