Pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) are complex chronic pelvic pain conditions with underlying venous pathology. Historically, PeVD is portrayed as a dull, achy pain commonly in multiparous, premenopausal women between the ages of 18 and 40 years. However, misconceptions and preconceived notions delay timely diagnosis and treatment for women diagnosed with PeVD. This scoping review was undertaken to examine the existing research literature on the pain experience and quality of life in women living with PeVD. Twenty-nine articles reviewed discussing pharmacological and surgical procedures, diagnostic tools for assessing PeVD, pain and pelvic symptoms with measurement scales, and quality of life. While most studies reviewed the effects of pharmacological or procedural interventions on PeVD pain management, differences were noted in PeVD in women. Further research is needed to understand women’s experiences with PeVD and impact on their quality of life.

Background
Surgical fires are events when a fire, flame, or ignition occurs in, on, or near a patient who is undergoing a procedure in an operating room or procedural area and should be considered never events. Burns from surgical fires can result in harm, lasting debility, or death. As surgical fires are considered preventable, implementation of mitigation strategies is essential.
Purpose
The purpose of this interdisciplinary quality improvement project was to determine if use of a safety cover made of silicone with a ceramic cap to shield the fiber-optic cable tip would prevent surgical fires during endoscopic procedures.
Methods
A Plan-Do-Study-Act method was used during this project.
Results
Since this project began, there have been no surgical fires or patient burns attributed to use of fiber-optic light with the GloShield product.
Conclusion
The GloShield device decreases the risk of injury from thermal burns.

Timely treatment of stroke patients is critical for improving outcomes. Emergency Department-Stroke Response Units (ED-SRUs) have emerged as effective models for enhancing stroke care.
Purpose
This study aims to describe the implementation and outcomes of a specialty nurse-led ED-SRU staffed by highly trained neuroscience specialty nurses.
Method
We analyzed the collaboration between neuroscience and emergency-trained nurses in the ED-SRU and its impact on stroke treatment metrics, focusing on door-to-needle time for intravenous thrombolytics.
Findings
The implementation of the ED-SRU resulted in a significant reduction in door-to-needle times, allowing the hospital to surpass national benchmarks for timely stroke treatment.
Discussion
The success of the ED-SRU underscores the importance of interdisciplinary nursing in effectively triaging and caring for complex stroke patients. This model can serve as a framework for other institutions aiming to enhance stroke care delivery.

Sexual violence is a common issue that is under-reported and has lasting negative effects. Survivors of sexual violence may face negative physical, mental, emotional, and economic well-being. Trauma-informed care (TIC) can help create a safe environment for sexual violence survivors and strengthen a patient-provider relationship. There are several approaches that radiology nurses, through TIC, can take to help patients feel safe and comfortable. This article identifies warning signs of sexual violence, ways providers can approach TIC, and how radiology nurses can use TIC in their practice.
