Article Abstract
Background: This study formulated clinical guidelines for assessing nasogastric tube placement and for health education guidance according to evidence-based recommendations.
Method: This study used a single group, pre- and postintervention design. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants from nursing institutions in Taiwan.
Results: Sixty-two individuals in charge of nursing institutions were recruited to participate in the in-service training program. Statistically significant differences were observed in the four major items in the self-directed learning readiness scale ( = 3.85, < .00; = 3.99, < .00; = 2.94, < .01; = 4.13, < .00). With regard to program satisfaction, the mean score was 4.88 to 4.9 points. The mean score for teaching satisfaction was 4.94 to 4.9 points. Furthermore, the participants scored more than 80 points in the online course test and the nasogastric tube placement skill.
Conclusion: The individuals in-charge are expected to be willing to apply and promote methods of literature collation and recommendation in their respective institutions. .

Treatment outcomes and associated factors of severe acute malnutrition among under-5 children in Jigjiga public hospitals, Somali region, Ethiopia: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) affects about 20 million under-5 children and contributes to one million child deaths annually. Apart from the presence of clinical management protocols capable of reducing case fatality by 1%-5%, case fatality in hospitals in developing countries averages 20%-30% and has remained the same since the 1950s.
Objective: This study aimed to assess treatment outcomes and associated factors of severe acute malnutrition among under-5-year-old children admitted to Jigjiga city public hospitals.
Miliary tuberculosis and central nervous system infection caused by hematogenous transmission from a primary subcutaneous tuberculous abscess: A case report.

Rationale: We report an extremely rare case in which delayed diagnosis and treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection primarily involving the subcutaneous tissues of an extremity led to hematogenous dissemination of the infection and subsequent deterioration of the patient.
Patient Concerns: An 82-year-old man presented to our hospital with a painful mass on the right ankle for over a year, as well as persistent fever and shortness of breath for >14 days. He received piperacillin/tazobactam followed by meropenem, which failed to decrease his peak temperature.
Effect of nasogastric versus orogastric tube placement on ventilator-associated pneumonia incidence in critically ill patients: a study protocol for a cluster randomised crossover trial in 16 intensive care units in France (SONG trial).

Introduction: Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) frequently require mechanical ventilation, with approximately half needing invasive ventilation through an orotracheal tube. For these patients, gastric tube (GT) insertion is routinely performed to administer nutrition and medications or to drain gastric contents. The insertion route (oral or nasal) may affect the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a significant ICU care complication.

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder involving autonomic failure, cerebellar ataxia, and parkinsonism. Patients often require invasive interventions, such as gastrostomy or tracheostomy, and sudden death is common. This study aimed to elucidate patterns of invasive treatment and identify risk factors for tracheostomy or sudden death within 5 years of onset.
