evaluation of quality of life and health care needs in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.	symptoms are decisive in the quality of life of patients. progression of the underlying disease leads to many physical and psychological symptoms in patients. increases in these symptoms often prevent patients from complying with treatment. therefore, the symptoms must be recognized, evaluated, and controlled for the treatment to be effective. this study determined the unmet needs of patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment and the effects of these needs on the patients' quality of life. four ...	2020	31054110
final services for florence nightingale.	: editor's note: from its first issue in 1900 through to the present day, ajn has unparalleled archives detailing nurses' work and lives over more than a century. these articles not only chronicle nursing's growth as a profession within the context of the events of the day, but they also reveal prevailing societal attitudes about women, health care, and human rights. today's nursing school curricula rarely include nursing's history, but it's a history worth knowing. to this end, from the ajn arc ...	2019	31033557
nursing and the sustainable development goals: from nightingale to now.	: while health care often focuses on acute or chronic illness, the elements necessary for good health are far more complex than we tend to recognize. florence nightingale understood this complexity and wrote extensively on the myriad social and environmental factors that influence well-being. today these factors are termed "health determinants" and undergird the united nations 17 sustainable development goals (sdgs). this article explores how nurses can contextualize the sdgs within their daily ...	2019	31033553
organising through compassion: the introduction of meta-virtue management in the nhs.	this paper investigates the comprehensive compassionate care reform programme within the national health service (nhs) in england. through a synoptic reading of policy documents, we show how 'compassion' is introduced as an overarching meta-virtue designed to govern relationships and formal positions in health care. invoking an 'ethics of office' perspective, mainly drawing on the thinking of max weber, we evaluate the promotion of compassion as a managerial technology and argue how seemingly hu ...	2019	31020681

reducing infections "together": a review of socioadaptive approaches.	reducing healthcare-associated infections often requires the use of both technical and adaptive strategies. the experiences of semmelweis and nightingale teach us the importance of social adaptation of technical interventions. because most infection prevention interventions require widespread participation by healthcare personnel, it is helpful for infectious diseases physicians to learn principles of diffusion of innovations theory and apply them to influence different groups. comprehensive uni ...	2019	30740469
sperm divergence in a passerine contact zone: indication of reinforcement at the gametic level.	postcopulatory sexual selection may promote evolutionary diversification in sperm form, but the contribution of between-species divergence in sperm morphology to the origin of reproductive isolation and speciation remains little understood. to assess the possible role of sperm diversification in reproductive isolation, we studied sperm morphology in two closely related bird species, the common nightingale (luscinia megarhynchos) and the thrush nightingale (luscinia luscinia), that hybridize in a ...	2019	30597549
nursing in an age of multimorbidity.	a changing sociodemographic landscape has seen rising numbers of people with two or more long-term health conditions. multimorbidity presents numerous challenges for patients and families and those who work in healthcare services. therefore, the nursing profession needs to understand the issues involved in supporting people with multiple chronic conditions and how to prepare the future workforce to care for them.	2018	30519145
influencing building design in care for older people.	a florence nightingale foundation travel scholarship was used to support a nurse's journey to gather information and knowledge on aspects of building design for older people in emergency care. evidence on the effect of the environment on senior care is well established and some areas have carefully considered this when planning facilities for older people. the travel opportunity was used to explore how large-scale building design was carried out, and to understand how mindsets, models of care an ...	2018	30418842
postcopulatory sexual selection reduces z-linked genetic variation and might contribute to the large z effect in passerine birds.	the x and z sex chromosomes play a disproportionately large role in intrinsic postzygotic isolation. the underlying mechanisms of this large x/z effect are, however, still poorly understood. here we tested whether faster rates of molecular evolution caused by more intense positive selection or genetic drift on the z chromosome could contribute to the large z effect in two closely related passerine birds, the common nightingale (luscinia megarhynchos) and the thrush nightingale (l. luscinia). we ...	2019	30374041
increased high-density lipoprotein levels associated with age-related macular degeneration: evidence from the eye-risk and european eye epidemiology consortia.	genetic and epidemiologic studies have shown that lipid genes and high-density lipoproteins (hdls) are implicated in age-related macular degeneration (amd). we studied circulating lipid levels in relationship to amd in a large european dataset.	2019	30315903
glyca, a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy measure for protein glycosylation, is a viable biomarker for disease activity in ibd.	glycoprotein acetylation [glyca] is a novel nuclear magnetic resonance [nmr] biomarker, measured in serum or plasma, that summarizes the signals originating from glycan groups of certain acute-phase glycoproteins. this biomarker has been shown to be robustly associated with cardiovascular and short-term all-cause mortality, and with disease severity in several inflammatory conditions. we investigated glyca levels in a cohort of healthy individuals [hcs], patients with crohn's disease [cd] and pa ...	2019	30312386

the nurse philanthropist: where care and cause meet.	a transcultural clinical nurse specialist narrates how nursing has provided ways to exercise her passion for the clinical intellect as it intersects with the compassion of the heart. she encourages nurses to become social justice entrepreneurs, or what she terms nurse philanthropists, devoting time, talent, and energy to social justice issues as activists, advocates, and ambassadors. florence nightingale was the first nurse philanthropist, using wealth she inherited to establish st. thomas hospi ...	2018	29669642
interspecific competition promotes habitat and morphological divergence in a secondary contact zone between two hybridizing songbirds.	interspecific competition is assumed to play an important role in the ecological differentiation of species and speciation. however, empirical evidence for competition's role in speciation remains surprisingly scarce. here, we studied the role of interspecific competition in the ecological differentiation and speciation of two closely related songbird species, the common nightingale (luscinia megarhynchos) and the thrush nightingale (luscinia luscinia). both species are insectivorous and ecologi ...	2018	29603471
affairs happen-to whom? a study on extrapair paternity in common nightingales.	most birds engage in extrapair copulations despite great differences across and within species. besides cost and benefit considerations of the two sex environmental factors have been found to alter mating strategies within or between populations and/or over time. for socially monogamous species, the main advantage that females might gain from mating with multiple males is probably increasing their offspring's genetic fitness. since male (genetic) quality is mostly not directly measurable for fem ...	2017	29492002
can quantab titrator sticks reliably predict urinary sodium?	urinary sodium concentration is a commonly used marker for extracellular fluid depletion which is often associated with dehydration. a point of care test for urinary sodium may reduce delays in clinical decision making by offering more timely guidance leading to improved salt and fluid management. we compared laboratory assessed urinary sodium with a potential point of care measure of urinary chloride in a variety of in- and outpatient specialities, to explore its use as an indicator of low urin ...	2018	29460802
[anna hamilton (1864-1935), the excellence of nursing.]	a frenchwoman, anna hamilton (1864-1935), daughter of a franco-english couple, reads with passion the works of florence nightingale and takes an interest in nursing. in order to practice it, she first passes the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree in self-education and registers at the marseille medical school. she wants to prepare a medical thesis on the nursing staff in the hospitals in europe and is conducting an investigation throughout europe. she passed her thesis on june 15, 1900 entitled “ ...	2017	29436808
competition-driven niche segregation on a landscape scale: evidence for escaping from syntopy towards allotopy in two coexisting sibling passerine species.	the role of interspecific competition for generating patterns in species' distribution is hotly debated and studies taking into account processes occurring at both large and small spatial scales are almost missing. theoretically, competition between species with overlapping niches should result in divergence of their niches in sympatry to reduce the costs of competition. many species show a mosaic distribution within sympatric zones, with the syntopic sites occupied by both species, and allotopi ...	2018	29430650
spiritual formation, secularization, and reform of professional nursing and education in antebellum america.	the origin story of professional nursing associated with antebellum american faith communities is all but lost. this paper provides historical evidence for professional nursing for that period using a case study approach that examines three faith communities: the sisters and daughters of charity, the shakers, and the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. the purpose is to present an historical analysis of the three communities' health beliefs, recipes and remedies that were foundational t ...	2018	29406138
biomechanics of coupled motion in the cervical spine during simulated whiplash in patients with pre-existing cervical or lumbar spinal fusion: a finite element study.	loss of motion following spine segment fusion results in increased strain in the adjacent motion segments. however, to date, studies on the biomechanics of the cervical spine have not assessed the role of coupled motions in the lumbar spine. accordingly, we investigated the biomechanics of the cervical spine following cervical fusion and lumbar fusion during simulated whiplash using a whole-human finite element (fe) model to simulate coupled motions of the spine.	2018	29330341
genomic islands of differentiation in two songbird species reveal candidate genes for hybrid female sterility.	hybrid sterility is a common first step in the evolution of postzygotic reproductive isolation. according to haldane's rule, it affects predominantly the heterogametic sex. while the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility in organisms with heterogametic males has been studied for decades, the genetic basis of hybrid female sterility in organisms with heterogametic females has received much less attention. we investigated the genetic basis of reproductive isolation in two closely related avian sp ...	2018	29319911

historically-informed nursing: a transnational case study in china.	the term 'nurse' (hushi-'caring scholar') did not enter the chinese language until the early 20th century. modern nursing-a fundamentally western notion popularized by nightingale and introduced to china in 1884-profoundly changed the way care of the sick was practiced. for 65 years, until 1949, nursing developed in china as a transnational project, with western and chinese influences shaping the profession of nursing in ways that linger today. co-authored by chinese, canadian, and american nurs ...	2017	28631346

can celebrity chefs crack it?	what became of the splendid idea to involve celebrity chefs in hospital catering? (no doubt they were offered a larger budget than the paltry 10p per patient per day that is allocated to our poor cooks.) our worthy founder florence nightingale engaged the help of top chefs to nourish her charges in the crimea. she recognised the importance of appetising food for sick patients, not just for nutritional purposes, but also as a psychological aid to recovery.	2002	28076172
