Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare neoplasm of young adults and it is characterized by polyphenotypic differentiation. We experienced a case of abdominal DSRCT that occurred in a 19-year-old female who presented with painful swelling of her right forearm. The tumor was cytokeratin-negative and it exhibited some tumor cells with intranuclear inclusions. Molecular demonstration of EWS-WT1 fusion transcripts is particularly useful to confirm the diagnosis of DSRCT without epithelial differentiation. We report here on a case of cytokeratin-negative DSRCT that showed an unusual feature of intranuclear inclusions.

A 33-year-old-woman with twin pregnancy underwent genetic amniocentesis in our hospital at 16 weeks of gestation. Fetal chromosomal analysis showed 46,XY,inv(9) and 47,XX,+21. The affected twin was terminated by ultrasonographically guided intracardiac injection of 3 ml potassium chloride solution at 19 weeks of gestation. A healthy 2570 g male infant was born by cesarean section with Apgar scores of 8 and 9 at one and five minutes, respectively.

Purpose: Turnover rates among nurses in South Korea are higher than those of other job groups, affecting hospital performance. This study clarified the mediating role of perceived organizational and supervisor support in the relationship between nurses’ organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intention. Methods: This study involved a descriptive survey of 160 nurses working in two hospitals in S, South Korea. Data were analyzed using the Hayes PROCESS macro (Model 4) program, version 3.4. Results: Organizational citizenship behavior was positively correlated with perceived organizational support and perceived supervisor support but negatively correlated with turnover intention. Perceived organizational support was positively correlated with perceived supervisor support. Additionally, perceived organizational and supervisor support were negatively correlated with turnover intention. The authors verified the mediating role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intention. However, the mediating role of perceived supervisor support was not confirmed. Conclusion The higher a nurse’s organizational citizenship behavior, the higher their perceived organizational support, which reduces turnover intention. High-quality nursing contributes to organizational performance; therefore, the nursing workforce should be carefully preserved.

Purpose: Nursing students are future healthcare workers responsible for maintaining public health. Owing to the increase in early resignation among new nurses, nursing education outcomes must be evaluated by investigating students' practice readiness. Methods: Using convenience sampling, we recruited fourth-year students from two nursing colleges to participate in a cross-sectional online survey in November 2023. The Casey-Fink Readiness for Practice Survey was used to assess practice readiness and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and ANOVA. Results: Among the 157 participants (female, 77.7%; mean age, 23.12±1.93 yrs), the overall practice readiness score was 63.53±8.30 (range: 20~80) and the mean subscale score was 23.14±3.73 for clinical problem-solving (range: 7~28), 6.69±1.25 for learning techniques (range: 2~8), 16.87±2.46 for professional identity (range: 5~20), and 16.82±3.46 for trials and tribulations (range: 6~24). Practice readiness did not differ significantly by gender or age and was greater among subgroups with high grades and satisfaction with the major, classroom practice, simulation practice, clinical practice, and lectures. Conclusion Universities must improve the quality of classes and practical education to enhance fourth-year nursing students’ practice readiness.Nursing education programs incorporating problem-based learning must be developed and evaluated to strengthen students’ clinical inference and critical-thinking skills.
