Background: Acute viral respiratory infections (AVRIs) rank among the most common causes of hospitalisation worldwide, imposing significant healthcare burdens and driving the development of pharmacological treatments. However, inconsistent outcome reporting across clinical trials limits evidence synthesis and its translation into clinical practice. A core outcome set (COS) for pharmacological treatments in hospitalised adults with AVRIs is essential to standardise trial outcomes and improve research comparability.

This systematic review synthesized findings from 17 studies conducted between 2000 and 2024, focusing on the definitions, interventions, and outcomes associated with community nursing. The studies originated from diverse countries, including Singapore, Australia, Italy, Portugal, and the United States, and employed various designs such as quasi-experimental trials, pre-post evaluations, and descriptive studies. Sample sizes ranged from 23 to over 1,600 participants, with most targeting older adults or individuals with chronic conditions.

Haematology, Bon Secours Hospital, Cork, IRL.
Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), mainly deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), persists as a critical contributor to hospital-acquired mortality. Despite its largely preventable nature, early 2024 data from Bon Secours Hospital in Cork revealed alarmingly low compliance with VTE prophylaxis protocol.
Aim: This study evaluated the implementation efficacy of VTE risk assessment and prophylaxis in adult hospitalised patients at Bon Secours Hospital, Cork, according to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.

Objective: To systematically compare functional outcomes and postoperative cosmetic satisfaction following alar batten graft (ABG) versus lateral crural strut graft (LCSG) placement for patients with nasal valve incompetence.
Data Sources: Pubmed and Embase searches (1995-2025) with terms for nasal obstruction, LCSG, ABG, and functional/cosmetic outcomes.
Review Methods: Relevant studies with documented preoperative nasal valve incompetence, confirmed surgical intervention with either ABG or LCSG, and their associated postoperative outcomes were identified.

Purpose: Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients undergoing radiation therapy (RT) often experience mask anxiety due to the use of thermoplastic masks for immobilization. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a combined music therapy and relaxation-visualization intervention in reducing mask anxiety among HNC patients receiving RT at a tertiary care super-specialty oncology hospital in central India.
Methods: A total of 216 HNC patients scheduled for RT were randomized into either the intervention group (N = 108) or the control group (N = 108).
