A MIXED-METHODS SYSTEMATIC REVIEW PROTOCOL TO EXAMINE THE USE OF PHYSICAL RESTRAINT WITH CRITICALLY ILL ADULTS AND STRATEGIES FOR MINIMIZING THEIR USE

Abstract Background Critically ill patients frequently experience severe washer agitation placing them at risk of harm.Physical restraint is common in intensive care units (ICUs) for clinician concerns about safety.However, physical restraint may not prevent medical device removal and has been associated with negative physical and psychological con

How microbial cells leverage their phenotypic potential to survive in a changing environment is a complex biological problem, with important implications for pathogenesis and species evolution.Stochastic phenotype switching, a particularly fascinating adaptive approach observed in numerous species across the tree of life, introduces phenotypic dive

Coal slime blending can effectively improve the utilization rate of fossil fuels and reduce environmental pollution.However, the combustion in the ACCESSORYGLV/MITT furnace is unstable due to the empty pump phenomenon during the coal slurry transport.The combustion instability affects the material distribution in the furnace and harms the unit oper

LiDAR-Camera fusion has demonstrated remarkable potential in 3D object detection for autonomous vehicles, leveraging complementary information from both modalities.Recent state-of-the-art approaches primarily make use of projection matrices to achieve cross-modal data alignment.However, these methods often struggle with poor performance when faced

During digital video acquisition, imagery may be degraded by a number of phenomena including undersampling, blur, and noise.Many systems, particularly those containing infrared focal plane array (FPA) sensors, are also subject to detector nonuniformity.Nonuniformity, or fixed pattern noise, results from nonuniform responsivity of the photodetectors
