This study explored the role of technology systems in influencing nurses' intentions to adopt medical applications that enhance their performance and how technology contributes to improvements in hospital systems. The study examines the intention to use technology through the mediating effects of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, with technology sophistication. A random sampling method was employed to gather 687 responses from nurses.

As prescription opioids play a role in nearly 25 % of all opioid overdose deaths in the United States, mitigating risk for prolonged postoperative opioid utilization is crucial for spine surgeons.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to employ six ML algorithms to identify clinical variables predictive of increased opioid utilization across spinal surgeries, including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), posterior thoracolumbar fusion (PTLF), and lumbar laminectomy.
A ridge-loaded staggered double-vane slow-wave structure is proposed for terahertz radiation sources employing a sheet electron beam. This slow-wave structure has the advantages of enhanced electric field and energy density distribution and improved interaction impedance in the beam-wave interaction region. High-frequency characteristics are investigated for the proposed slow wave structure and compared with those of the staggered double-vane slow wave structure.

Purpose: To assess the impact of the picture exchange communication system (PECS) on oral hygiene motivation and practices in healthy children aged five to seven years.
Methods: A total of 160 healthy children aged five to seven years were included in this study. At the first visit, the participants' guardians were asked to answer a questionnaire focussing on the sociodemographic, and the oral hygiene habits of the participants.
Introduction: Glass or carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) composites and zirconia ceramic have been offered as more modern implant biomaterials.
Objectives: This study examined the effects of zirconia ceramic implants, titanium, and CFR-PEEK on bone stress and deformation.
Materials And Methods: A geometric model of a mandibular molar replaced with an implant-supported crown was created for this finite element analysis investigation.
