Summary: The effectiveness of the health sector is closely linked to employee performance. To improve performance and establish a solid health system, maximizing human resources potential and providing appropriate incentives are essential. Research in Greece is lacking on the needs of health workers and motivating incentives.

Summary: This longitudinal study in China's acute hospitals between 2014 and 2018 found improvements in nursing work environment, slight decrease in non-professional workloads, and an increase in unfinished nursing tasks. Nurse job dissatisfaction decreased and quality of care improved slightly. Improving nursing environment, reducing non-professional tasks, and completing unfinished nursing care may benefit nurse job outcomes and promote quality of care.

Summary: Primary health care workers in Croatia play a crucial role in vaccine recommendations and uptake. A study conducted among physicians and nurses in a specific region of Croatia found that nurses were more likely to be vaccine-hesitant compared to physicians, and predictors of vaccine hesitancy included profession, uncertainty about measles and HPV vaccines, and experiencing serious adverse events following immunization. Intervention to increase vaccination knowledge and confidence among primary health care workers, especially nurses, is crucial to improve vaccine coverage.

Summary: This study reviewed medical records of patients who died in the ICU of Aga Khan University to determine the frequency and factors associated with limiting care at the end of life. The analysis identified several variables, including patient age, sex, duration of mechanical ventilation, GCS scores, and mean arterial pressure on vasopressors, that were associated with the decision to limit care. Further research is needed to understand these variables and incorporate them into end-of-life discussions for better management.

Summary: This study investigated the current practices of mechanical ventilation in Asian intensive care units. The results showed that low tidal volume ventilation and sufficient PEEP were underused in patients with ARDS, while intermediate tidal volumes were commonly used in patients without ARDS. Country income, age, and severity of illness were associated with mortality.

Summary: The study aims to evaluate whether there is an increased propensity to limit life-sustaining treatment (LST) among elderly patients in Poland from 2018-2019 compared to 2016-2017. The results show that clinicians in Poland have become more proactive in limiting LST in critically ill patients aged 80 and above during the studied period, although the prevalence of LST limitations in Poland remains low.

Summary: This meta-analysis examined the effect of milrinone on prognosis in adult critically ill patients and found a significant decrease in the incidence of ventricular arrhythmia in patients with cardiac surgery. However, there was no significant reduction in all-cause mortality or the incidence of myocardial infarction. More research is needed to determine the reliable and conclusive evidence for the effects of milrinone.

Summary: With a large number of cells and genes, the human gut microbiome is crucial for health and disease. Modern living disrupts the balance between the host and its microbiome, leading to adverse impacts on critical illness and patient outcomes. Restoring the gut microbiome shows promise for preventing and treating critical illnesses.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between plasma citrulline levels and plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) concentration, as well as the impact of sepsis on gut function in critically ill patients. The results showed no correlation between plasma citrulline concentration and plasma LPS concentration or activity. However, septic patients had significantly lower plasma citrulline levels. Additionally, abdominal sepsis was associated with higher plasma LPS activity compared to extra-abdominal sepsis.
