    Abstract Introduction: In the framework of the IMI2-NeuroDeRisk consortium, three in vitro electrophysiology assays were compared to improve preclinical prediction of seizure-inducing liabilities.
    Methods: Two cell models, primary rat cortical neurons and human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived glutamatergic neurons co-cultured with hiPSC-derived astrocytes were tested on two different microelectrode array (MEA) platforms, Maestro Pro (Axion Biosystems) and Multiwell-MEA-System (Multi Channel Systems), in three separate laboratories. Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and/or picrotoxin (PTX) were included in each plate as positive (n = 3-6 wells) and ≤0.2% DMSO was used as negative controls (n = 3-12 wells). In general, concentrations in a range of 0.1-30 μM were tested, anchored, when possible, on clinically relevant exposures (unbound C
    Results: Neuronal activity of 33 compounds categorized as positive tool drugs, seizure-positive or seizure-negative compounds was evaluated. Acute drug effects (<60 min) were compared to baseline recordings. Time points < 15 min exhibited stronger, less variable responses to many of the test agents. For many compounds a reduction and cessation of neuronal activity was detected at higher test concentrations. There was not a single pattern of seizurogenic activity detected, even among tool compounds, likely due to different mechanisms of actions and/or off-target profiles. A post-hoc analysis focusing on changes indicative of neuronal excitation is presented.
    Conclusion: All cell models showed good sensitivity, ranging from 70 to 86%. Specificity ranged from 40 to 70%. Compared to more conventional measurements of evoked activity in hippocampal slices, these plate-based models provide higher throughput and the potential to study subacute responses. Yet, they may be limited by the random, spontaneous nature of their network activity.

    Abstract The importance of mitochondria in tissue homeostasis, stress responses and human diseases, combined to their ability to transition between various structural and functional states, makes them excellent organelles for monitoring cell health. There is therefore a need for technologies to accurately analyze and quantify changes in mitochondrial organization in a variety of cells and cellular contexts. Here we present an innovative computerized method that enables accurate, multiscale, fast and cost-effective analysis of mitochondrial shape and network architecture from confocal fluorescence images by providing more than thirty features. In order to facilitate interpretation of the quantitative results, we introduced two innovations: the use of Kiviat-graphs (herein named MitoSpider plots) to present highly multidimensional data and visualization of the various mito-cellular configurations in the form of morphospace diagrams (called MitoSigils). We tested our fully automated image analysis tool on rich datasets gathered from live normal human skin cells cultured under basal conditions or exposed to specific stress including UVB irradiation and pesticide exposure. We demonstrated the ability of our proprietary software (named MitoTouch) to sensitively discriminate between control and stressed dermal fibroblasts, and between normal fibroblasts and other cell types (including cancer tissue-derived fibroblasts and primary keratinocytes), showing that our automated analysis captures subtle differences in morphology. Based on this novel algorithm, we report the identification of a protective natural ingredient that mitigates the deleterious impact of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on mitochondrial organization. Hence we conceived a novel wet-plus-dry pipeline combining cell cultures, quantitative imaging and semiotic analysis for exhaustive analysis of mitochondrial morphology in living adherent cells. Our tool has potential for broader applications in other research areas such as cell biology and medicine, high-throughput drug screening as well as predictive and environmental toxicology.

    Abstract Aims and objectives: To synthesise the available body of qualitative evidence relating to nurses' perceptions and experiences of care provision in adult critical care environments.
    Methods: The study adhered to ENTREQ (Confidence in Evidence of Reviews of Qualitative Research) guidelines. See Appendix S1. A systematic search of the literature in nine databases was undertaken: CINAHL, Web of Science, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Campbell Collaboration, ProQuest A & I, DART and Lenus. Blind screening to select relevant studies was undertaken, and each selected study was assessed for quality using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme framework. Guided by Thomas and Harden's three-stage approach to thematic analysis, line-by-line coding of participants' verbatim accounts and the researchers' interpretations in the selected studies' findings was undertaken and then organised into higher order analytical themes. Confidence in the findings was reviewed using GRADE-CERQual.
    Results: Twelve studies reported in thirteen papers, including 122 nurses, were selected in the final sample for synthesis. Three analytical themes were identified: (a) sometimes machines get all the attention, (b) with experience the patient becomes the focus and (c) technology can't save everybody.
    Conclusions: Providing care for adult patients in a highly technological environment is challenging particularly for novice nurses, who face the potential of technology drawing all their attention. Experienced critical care nurses learn to keep technology in abeyance and deliver person-centred care within the bounds of a technological environment.
    Relevance to clinical practice: The review supports Locsin's theory of technological competence and highlights that providing care in critical care requires nurses to actively balance attention for the person while managing machines. Experienced nurses achieve this balance and can offer support to novice nurses. Critical care nurse orientation programmes should be underpinned by a holistic approach which addresses the dualism of technology and care.

    Abstract Only a few compounds have been completely characterized as stabilizers in alkaline electroless nickel‐boron plating and most of them have serious impact on health or the environment. In this paper, the effects of bismuth salts on the bath stability and characteristics of electroless NiB deposits obtained from an alkaline electroless nickel bath reduced by borohydride are presented. The objective of this paper is to propose a healthy and environmental friendly electroless NiB coating. The process of production was maintained the same as traditional NiB to facilitate the industrial adaptation. Bismuth accelerates the rate of deposition up to 10−5 mol/L and inhibits plating from a concentration of 0.01 mol/L. The bismuth ions in the NiB bath act as stabilizer but some bismuth also co-deposits with the nickel‐boron coating, leading to a coating with 3 wt% bismuth. The coating presents a homogeneous surface morphology with a 15.11 μm/h plating rate in agitated and non-replenished bath. The X-ray diffraction patterns of electroless NiB coatings stabilized by Bi3+ exhibit a single broad peak, indicating a strong tendency to form amorphous structure. The coatings present the typical high hardness of NiB coatings (830 hv50), with a relatively smooth surface. The wear behavior was characterized by ball-on-disc tests and a friction coefficient of 0.45 is obtained after 100 m of test with 5 N charge and an alumina ball. Scratch test results show the first damage after 16 N. NiB-Bi coatings have impressive properties and can replace lead stabilized electroless NiB in different fields.

    Abstract Background: The existing evidence demonstrates that survivors of SJS/TEN have reported long-lasting psychological effects of their condition. Burns patients experience similar psychological effects. It is important to look at ways to help allay the psychological complications of SJS/TEN. As there is an absence of evidence on SJS/TEN psychotherapeutic interventions, it was judged to be beneficial to determine the evidence underpinning psychotherapeutic interventions used with burns patients.
    Aims and objectives: The aim of this systematic integrative review was to synthesize the evidence relating to psychotherapeutic interventions used with adult burns patients and patients with SJS/TEN.
    Method: The systematic review was guided by Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review process and the PRISMA guidelines. Nine databases were searched for English and French language papers published January 2008 to January 2021. The protocol for the review was registered with PROSPERO.
    Results: Following a screening process, 17 studies were included in the review. Two themes were identified using content analysis, (i) Empirically supported psychotherapeutic treatments, (ii) Alternative psychotherapeutic treatments. This review revealed no evidence on specific psychotherapeutic interventions for patients with SJS/TEN. Some of the interventions used with burns patients, viz. relaxation therapy, hypnosis and cognitive behavioral therapy showed some significant benefits. However, the evidence for burns patients is mainly focused on pain and pain anxiety as outcomes.
    Conclusion: Following further research, some of the interventions deployed in burns patients may be applicable to SJS/TEN patients, particularly stress reduction techniques. In addition, the caring behaviours such as compassion, respect, and getting to know the patient as a person are important components to psychological care.

    Abstract Clinical scenario: A 65-year-old man presented with a 12-h history of deteriorating rash. Two weeks previously he had completed a course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for ductal carcinoma of the breast. On examination there were bullae, widespread atypical targetoid lesions and 15% epidermal detachment. There was no mucosal involvement on presentation, but subsequently it did evolve. Skin biopsy showed subepidermal blistering with epidermal necrosis. This confirmed our clinical diagnosis of overlap Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). On transfer to intensive care he was anxious and fearful.
    Management question: What are the psychological impacts of SJS/TEN on this man's life?
    Background: SJS and TEN have devastating outcomes for those affected.
    Objectives: To conduct a Critically Appraised Topic to (i) analyse existing research related to the psychological impact of SJS and TEN and (ii) apply the results to the clinical scenario.
    Methods: Seven electronic databases were searched for publications focusing on the psychological impact of SJS/TEN on adults over 18 years of age.
    Results: Six studies met the inclusion criteria. Healthcare practitioners' (HCPs') lack of information around the disorder was highlighted. Patients experienced undue stress and fear. Some patients had symptoms aligned to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression.
    Discussion and recommendation: The evidence suggests that SJS and TEN impact psychologically on patients' lives. Education of HCPs, to address their lack of awareness and information on SJS/TEN, should facilitate their capacity to provide information and support to patients, thereby reducing patient anxiety. On discharge, a follow-up appointment with relevant HCPs to reduce the possibility of PTSD occurring should be considered.
