Aim: The aim of this study is to explore the influence of a talent management scheme in an English National Health Service (NHS) Trust on registered nurses' retention intentions.
Background: The retention of nurses is a global challenge, and talent management initiatives can play a role in improving retention. Talent management in its broadest sense is a way in which an organization recruits and retains the workforce that it needs to optimize the services it delivers.
Methods: In this qualitative study, eight in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with registered nurses who had participated in a talent management initiative, at an English acute NHS Trust. Data were collected in July 2019.
Results: The talent management initiative influenced positive retention intentions. Retention of nurses was facilitated by the creation of networks and networking.
Conclusion: Networks and networking can be viewed as a form of social capital, which was a facilitating factor for positive retention intentions for nurses.
Implications For Nursing Management: Talent management initiatives for nurses should be developed and directed to include the building of networks and networking to enable development of social capital. Although this talent management scheme is within the NHS, the issue of nursing retention is global. Application of learning from this paper to other health care systems is possible.

Background: Select patients with metastatic clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma can be treated without systemic therapy, yet few studies have explored this population. We investigated the efficacy of metastasis-directed therapy without systemic therapy in oligometastatic clear-cell renal-cell carincoma.
Methods: This investigator-initiated single-arm, phase 2 trial enrolled patients aged 18 years or older with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, histologically confirmed clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma, and one to five metastases.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of Vancouver B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) treated with the Ortho-bridge system (OBS) internal fixation and assess the potential benefits of 3D printing technology in preoperative planning and surgical execution for these cases.
Method: This retrospective study analyzed 55 consecutive Vancouver B1 periprosthetic femoral fracture cases treated surgically at Yan'an Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University (2014-2022) with minimum 1-year follow-up. Patients were divided into conventional ORIF (n = 21) and OBS fixation groups (n = 34), with the OBS group further stratified into standard procedure (n = 18) and 3D-printing-assisted (n = 16) subgroups.

While probiotics are widely recognized for their adjunctive benefits in ulcerative colitis treatment, the therapeutic potential of heat-killed cells remains underexplored. This study directly compared the efficacy of Bifidobacterium breve B2798 probiotics (LB group) and their heat-killed counterparts (DB group) in alleviating dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in rats. Over a 21-day intervention, both treatments significantly mitigated colitis symptoms, including weight loss, colon damage, and splenomegaly, with heat-killed cells demonstrating superior histological improvement over live probiotics.
