Article Abstract
A nosocomial outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 occurred in two general wards. One outbreak had pre-symptomatic transmission and was linked epidemiologically with an index case. The other outbreak was associated with early detection failure in a crowded room. Notably, adherence to appropriate mask wearing was not confirmed in the hospital outbreak. Confirmed cases were moved into isolation rooms, and contacts were quarantined. Quarantined cases were tested regularly and facilitated early termination of the hospital outbreak.

Importance: Sepsis remains a leading cause of death in infectious cases. The heterogeneity of immune responses is a major challenge in the management and prognostication of patients with sepsis. Identifying distinct immune response subphenotypes using parsimonious classifiers may improve outcome prediction, particularly in resource-limited settings.

This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of interferon (IFN)-λ1 and IFN-λ3 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and plasma in non-neutropenic invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) patients. A total of 481 patients suspected of IPA were enrolled (169 IPA cases and 312 non-IPA cases) in this study. BALF and plasma samples were collected, and IFN-λ1 and IFN-λ3 levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Background: Low-value care provides little or no benefit to patients, or its risk of harm outweighs the potential benefits. Non-nursing tasks refer to tasks performed by nurses below their scope of practice. With increasing pressure on the global nursing workforce, it is necessary to identify these concepts to deliver fundamental care.

Department of Surgical Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: The transfer of patients from intensive care units (ICUs) to general wards often causes significant anxiety, negatively impacting recovery, well-being and increasing the risk of readmission.
Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate the impact of 'Nurse-led Transfer Programme with Patient Relatives' on anxiety and haemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery (CVS) who are being transferred from the ICU to a general ward.
Study Design: This monocentric, non-randomised quasi-experimental study was conducted on 150 patients hospitalised in CVS-ICU.

Department of Geriatric Medicine, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium.
Background: Person-centered supportive care for older persons with acute illness is much needed but not easily achieved.
Aims Of The Study: To uncover processes and consequences of an educational intervention in acute geriatric wards intended as an exposure experience.
Design: General inductive qualitative analysis was conducted on data from a four-step intervention: group coaching, an open conversation with a patient and family member (PT/FM), reflection on transcribed conversations with co-participant, and group peer reflection.
