A systematic review conducted by RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Dublin, Ireland, explores the impact of burnout on paediatric nurses' attitudes about patient safety in the acute hospital setting. The review included four studies with a total of 2,769 paediatric nurses, revealing moderate to high levels of burnout and a negative association between burnout and safety attitude scoring. The research highlights the need for targeted interventions to address burnout and promote patient safety, emphasizing the importance of nurse well-being in safeguarding both staff and patients. Further research is needed to investigate the long-term impact of burnout. [Extracted from the article]

A report from the University of Dublin discusses the management of severe bronchiolitis in high-risk infants in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) setting. The researchers conducted a systematic review of the literature and identified 26 studies that met their inclusion criteria. The studies examined various interventions, including respiratory support, medications, and therapies. The researchers concluded that randomized controlled trials are needed to determine the efficacy of management strategies for bronchiolitis in high-risk infants in a PICU setting.

A report from Dublin, Ireland discusses the topic of musical hallucinations (MH) in psychiatry, which is the experience of hearing music when none is playing. MH is a rare and understudied area of psychiatry, more commonly found in women and older individuals. The causes of MH can include hearing impairment, mental illness, and certain medications. Treatment options for MH include removing potential triggers and using pharmacotherapy. The report presents a case series of patients with MH in an old age psychiatry service, highlighting the need for further research to establish evidence-based and symptom-focused treatments.

A report from Tallaght University Hospital in Dublin, Ireland discusses the historical pattern of reactions to new technology, including surprise, anxiety, panic, and eventual adoption. The report specifically focuses on the concerns surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential impact on human function, particularly in fields such as mental capacity law. The research emphasizes the importance of approaching AI in a proportionate, prudent, and person-centered manner, guided by ethical considerations. The report concludes that while AI offers possibilities, it should be implemented with appropriate ethical guidance and awareness in clinical and legal practice. [Extracted from the article]

A new report from the Teagasc Food Research Centre in Dublin, Ireland explores European consumers' behavior in relation to Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) and their potential as part of a sustainable food system. The research conducted an online consumer survey in 12 European countries and identified four consumer clusters based on their engagement with SFSCs. The study found that motivations and barriers do not always translate into higher purchase frequency, and offers practical implications for policymakers and others interested in developing SFSCs. Financial support for the research came from the European Union. [Extracted from the article]

A report from Beacon Hospital in Dublin, Ireland discusses the lack of evidence and guidelines regarding the participation in contact sports for children and young athletes with a solitary (functioning) kidney. The researchers conducted a narrative review of the literature and found that there is a dearth of good-quality evidence on this topic. However, based on the available evidence, the risk of genitourinary injury in sports is low, and after physician assessment, there is currently no strong evidence to exclude these individuals from full participation in contact and collision sports.

A recent study conducted by investigators at the University of Dublin provides a comprehensive overview of fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC), a variant of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that accounts for a small percentage of liver cancer cases. The study explores the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of FLC. FLC tumors have distinct characteristics and can present with various symptoms, including stomach pain, weight loss, and malaise. The genetic analysis of FLC reveals specific chromosomal abnormalities and molecular pathways involved in tumor development. Current management options for FLC include surgical resection and systemic therapy, although targeted therapies have not shown significant advancements. The prognosis for FLC is generally favorable, but there is a high rate of recurrence. Further research is needed to better understand the molecular mechanisms of FLC and improve treatment outcomes.

A recent study conducted by researchers at University College Dublin examined the confidence and worries of secondary school staff in delivering mental health content to students. The study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of two measures, the Teacher Confidence Scale for Delivering Mental Health Content (TCS-MH) and the What Worries Me Scale (WWMS). The findings indicated that both measures showed promise in assessing staff confidence and worries related to mental health content delivery. The study highlights the need for reliable and valid measures to evaluate teacher confidence and support the implementation of mental health interventions in schools. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from Trinity College Dublin discusses the impact of reminiscence therapy (RT) on the brain function of older adults. RT, which involves recalling positive memories, has been shown to improve psychological well-being in older adults with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure changes in autobiographical memory networks (AMN) in 11 older adults who underwent 6 weeks of RT. The results showed decreased anxiety and increased activation in areas of the AMN, supporting the idea that RT has a positive effect on brain function. The research suggests that increased activation in the right posterior hippocampus is consistent with the Multiple Trace Theory. [Extracted from the article]
