Context The incorporation of high-resolution cameras into smartphones has allowed for a variety of medical applications including the use of lens attachments that provide telescopic, macroscopic, and dermatoscopic data, but the feasibility and performance characteristics of such a platform for use in dermatopathology have not been described. Objective To determine the diagnostic performance of a smartphone microscope compared to traditional light microscopy in dermatopathology specimens. Design A simple smartphone microscope constructed with a 3-mm ball lens was used to prospectively evaluate 1021 consecutive dermatopathology cases in a blinded fashion. Referred, consecutive specimens from the community were evaluated at a single university hospital. The performance characteristics of the smartphone platform were calculated by using conventional light microscopy as the gold standard. The sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of melanoma, nonmelanoma skin cancers, and other miscellaneous conditions by the phone microscopy platform, as compared with traditional light microscopy, were calculated. Results For basal cell carcinoma (n = 136), the sensitivity and specificity of smartphone microscopy were 95.6% and 98.1%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity for squamous cell carcinoma (n = 94) were 89.4% and 97.3%, respectively. The lowest sensitivity was found in melanoma (n = 15) at 60%, although the specificity was high at 99.1%. The accuracy of diagnosis of inflammatory conditions and other neoplasms was variable. Conclusions Mobile phone–based microscopy has excellent performance characteristics for the inexpensive diagnosis of nonmelanoma skin cancers in a setting where a traditional microscope is not available.

Field Notes

Transitional medication management, in which individual needs are balanced against organizational priorities, is crucial for safe discharge processes. The aim of this study was to explore hospital nurses’ transitional medication management in the discharge of older patients with multi-morbidity. Using an ethnographic approach the data were collected through participant observations at a mixed medical ward at a Danish university hospital for two weeks. The participants were five registered nurses, responsible for nursing care of 23 patients with multi-morbidity and planned for discharge. The data comprised field notes that were analysed using iterative processes of domain, taxonomic and component analysis. The reporting adhered to the COREQ checklist. Hospital nurses’ transitional medication management was characterized by unpredictability and inconsistency in patient situations, fragmentation and discontinuity in working processes and complexity in communication systems. Special attention to nurses’ needs assessment skills and clinical decision making in caring for patients with multi-morbidity in a single focused healthcare system is required.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to associate pleasure and suffering indicators with aspects related to nursing work in hospitals. Methods: This is a cross-sectional quantitative study conducted with 152 nurses from a university hospital in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba State, Brazil. Data were collected through interviews, using a tool to obtain sociodemographic data, work characteristics and the Pleasure and Suffering Indicators at Work Scale. Results: pleasure living and its domains were rated as satisfactory, while suffering factors and their domains were critically assessed. Statistically significant associations were observed among pleasure and suffering indicators, and some characteristics of nurses' work. Conclusions: it was evidenced that nurses had critical levels of suffering at work associated with their work practice characteristics.

Background: Training maternity nurse regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation during pregnancy is most important for properly care of such emergency situations during pregnancy and save woman’s and fetal lives.The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect of simulation-based intervention on maternity nurse’ performance regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation during pregnancy. Design Aquasi-experimental design was adopted in the current study.The study was conducted at woman’s health nursing department training lab at faculty of nursing affiliated at Benha University Hospital. Where a lot of women are admitted for normal and vaginal delivery, gyneacological treatment and surgery.Subjects: A Convenient sample of a total 52 maternity nurses was included.Tools: Two tools: Were used for data collection. Interviewing questionnaire sheet was concerning with nurses personnel characteristics’ and knowledge regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation during pregnancy and performance check list sheet.the result of the present study that there was a highly statistical difference between knowledge and practical scores of maternity nurse at pre and post intervention. The study concluded that the simulation bases intervention is highly improved maternity nurses’ performance regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation during pregnancy. The present study recommended that simulation-based training regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be provided for all obstetrics health care givers.
