TL;DR: There is moderate quality evidence that behavioural support to motivate and sustain smoking cessation delivered by nurses can lead to a modest increase in the number of people who achieve prolonged abstinence.
Abstract: Healthcare professionals, including nurses, frequently advise patients to improve their health by stopping smoking. Such advice may be brief, or part of more intensive interventions. The objective of this review is to determine the effectiveness of nursing-delivered smoking cessation interventions.

TL;DR: A complete set of the placental reaction patterns seen with amniotic fluid infection was assembled and validated in the hope that this might provide a standardized diagnostic framework useful for practicing pathologists.
Abstract: Clinically responsive placental examination seeks to provide useful information regarding the etiology, prognosis, and recurrence risk of pregnancy disorders. The purpose of this study was to assemble and validate a complete set of the placental reaction patterns seen with amniotic fluid infection in the hope that this might provide a standardized diagnostic framework useful for practicing pathologists. Study cases (14 with amniotic fluid infection, 6 controls) were reviewed blindly by six pathologists after agreement on a standard set of diagnostic criteria. After analysis of initial results, criteria were refined and a second, overlapping set of cases were reviewed. Majority vote served as the gold standard. Grading and staging of maternal and fetal inflammatory responses was found to be more reproducible using a two- versus three-tiered grading system than a three- versus five-tiered staging system (overall agreement 81% vs. 71%). Sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency for individual observations ranged from 67–100% (24/30 > 90%). Reproducibility was measured by unweighted kappa values and interpreted as follows: 0.6, substantial. Kappa values for the 12 lesions evaluated in 20 cases by the six pathologists were: acute chorioamnionitis/maternal inflammatory response (any, 0.93; severe 0.76; advanced stage, 0.49); chronic (subacute) chorioamnionitis (0.25); acute chorioamnionitis/fetal inflammatory response (any, 0.90; severe, 0.55; advanced stage, 0.52); chorionic vessel thrombi (0.37); peripheral funisitis (0.84); acute villitis (0.90); acute intervillositis/intervillous abscesses (0.65), and decidual plasma cells (0.30). Adoption of this clearly defined, clinically relevant, and pathologically reproducible terminology could enhance clinicopathologic correlation and provide a framework for future clinical research.

TL;DR: All evidence points to the ionic liquids as a unique class of polar solvents suitable for technical development, however, further work is needed to fill the gaps in the authors' knowledge of the relationship between ion structures and physicochemical properties.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of research comparing decision making in face-to-face versus computer-mediated communication groups was conducted by as mentioned in this paper, who found that computer mediated communication leads to decreases in group effectiveness, increases in time required to complete tasks and decreases in member satisfaction.
