In the past, it was believed that ultrasound assessment of the lungs was not possible due to the presence of air, which hindered the visualization of the lung tissue. However, over time, various artifacts generated by ultrasound interactions with different structures within the chest, including tissues, air, and fluid, have been studied and increasingly utilized to evaluate and comprehend pulmonary diseases. The objective of this review article is to assess the effectiveness of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in patients with lung disease. POCUS has emerged as a valuable tool in managing patients with lung disease. It enables real-time visualization of lung structures, evaluation of lung pathology, and guidance for various procedures. POCUS has demonstrated promise in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like pneumonia, pleural effusion, and pneumothorax. Furthermore, it has been utilized to assist in interventions such as thoracentesis and chest tube placement, resulting in improved patient outcomes. This review article offers a comprehensive overview of the current evidence regarding the use of POCUS in patients with lung disease. It emphasizes the potential advantages of POCUS in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, facilitating timely interventions, and reducing the necessity for more invasive procedures. The findings of this review article contribute to the expanding body of literature supporting the integration of POCUS into routine clinical practice for patients with lung disease.

: Background: Breastfeeding is the most cost-effective intervention for reducing infant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Having flat or inverted nipples is among the reasons that prevent exclusive breastfeeding. Hoffman's exercise is a manual exercise that may help break adhesions at the base of the nipple that keep it inverted. Aim : To determine the effect of Hoffman's exercise on successful breastfeeding and satisfaction among postnatal women with flat and inverted nipples. Design : a quasi-experimental research design. Setting : The study was conducted at the postnatal unit of Damanhour Medical National Institute. Subjects: A convenience sample of 80 postpartum women Tools : three tools were used for data collection. Tool I: Socio-demographic and reproductive history structured interview schedule. Tool II: LATCH scale for the assessment of the level of breastfeeding. Tool III Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale (MBFES) is the Likert scale to assess maternal satisfaction with breastfeeding response. Results : Findings of the present study revealed that the total score of the LATCH scale was statistically significantly increased among the study group after intervention (p=<0.001). Regarding the degree of satisfaction with breastfeeding following the intervention, there were highly statistically significant differences between the analyzed groups (p<0.001), favoring the study group. In addition, the study findings showed that 42.5% and 27.5% of the subjects in the study group were either very satisfied or satisfied respectively, compared to only 5% and 7.5% of the subjects in the control group after intervention. Conclusion: The study concluded that postnatal women who practice Hoffman’s exercise exhibit higher scores on the LATCH scale which means that Hoffman's exercise had a positive effect on the level of breastfeeding and women's satisfaction. Recommendations : Hoffman’s exercise should be recommended as a safe, simple, painless, and effective, non-pharmacological method for treating flat and inverted nipples.

Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disease among children. It is defined by impulsivity, inattention, and/or hyperactivity . Reduction of symptoms’ severity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder through psychological interventions has garnered lots of interest lately. Aim: This study examined the impact of sensory and motor complementary program on severity of symptoms among children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Design : A randomized controlled trial was used in this study . Setting: child psychiatric outpatient clinic at aboo Elrish Children Hospital. Sample: A purposive sample of 50 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was randomly assigned, divided into study and control groups, and allocated to 24 sessions of the program designed to mitigate the symptoms’ severity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Tools: The pretest measures included the Demographic data form, Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children , and Conners’ Parent Rating Scale-Revised: Long Version. The posttest measure included only the Conners’ Parent Rating Scale-Revised: Long Version. Results: After the program, the study group had a statistically significant reduction in the majority of symptoms with a large effect size compared to the control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference regarding the severity of perfectionism and psychosomatic symptoms which showed a relatively smaller effect size. Conclusion: This study indicated that the sensory and motor complementary program was effective in reducing the symptoms’ severity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Recommendation: Further research with a large sample size is necessary to ensure the generalizability of such interventions.

Background: Educating nurses on alarm management & alarm fatigue can help in maintaining their knowledge and abilities in complex clinical settings as well as improving the pediatric patient safety. So , the current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of implementing an educational intervention for pediatric critical care nurses on managing alarm fatigue and improving clinical alarm management practices. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was utilized during the current study, and it was conducted on 70 pediatric nurses who are concerned in providing direct care in the intensive care units at Mansoura University Children Hospital. Results: Since the majority of the nurses under investigation were competent post-intervention compared to being incompetent pre-intervention, the educational intervention showed a highly statistical improvement in the total practice levels among the nurses throughout the research period. Additionally, nurses noted a significant improvement in alarm fatigue symptoms post-intervention compared to pre-intervention, with a highly statistically significant difference. Conclusion & Recommendations: The educational intervention seems to improve nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding alarm system monitoring and management and help in minimizing alarm fatigue symptoms. Therefore, the researchers recommended implementing comprehensive educational interventions and provide resources for continued learning and address staffing and workload issues. As well, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and promote a culture of safety and accountability for nursing staff.

Background: Because brain structures are complex, neurosurgery is associated with high rates of morbidity and death. From minor surgical nausea and vomiting to catastrophic neurological degeneration, the consequences might vary widely. Aim : Determine the effect of implementing nursing educational program on reducing postoperative complications for patients after intracranial surgery . Design: a quasi-experimental study design. Setting : The study was conducted at the neurosurgical care unit and outpatient clinic at Eldemerdash hospital affiliated to Ain Shams university hospital Cairo, Egypt. Subjects: Purposive sample of sixty adult patients of both genders after intracranial surgery (burr hole, craniotomy and craniectomy).The patients divided into two groups: the control group (30 patients who received routine care) and the study group (30 patients) who received nursing educational program. Tools: three tools were used to collect data include: I: intracranial surgery patients' health status assessment questionnaire, II: postoperative complications assessment questionnaire, the nursing educational program for patients undergoing intracranial Surgeries. Results: among the study group 30.3 % of their age ranged from 30 to less than 40 while the control group 36.4 % aged from 30 to less than 40 and 40 to less than 50. Regarding to gender 57.6 % and 60.6% were females among the study and control group respectively. Concerning educational level 48.5%, and 39.4% had secondary school of the study and control group respectively. Regarding to total patients knowledge there is a highly statistically significant correlation post the educational program than pre the program among the study group. Conclusion: There is a positive significant correlation between total patients knowledge and post-operative systemic complications and neurological complications among the study group pre and post the educational program.
