Exploring the association between combined formal and informal educational approaches and cultural intelligence among undergraduate nursing students: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Global migration necessitates adeptness in intercultural situations and high cultural awareness, crucial for nurses. Ensuring safe healthcare for migrants in diverse settings is imperative. Cultivating cultural intelligence should start at the undergraduate level, facilitated by diverse educational approaches.

Lipophilic index of serum phospholipids in patients with type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: links with metabolic control, vascular inflammation and platelet activation.

Background: Little is known about the mechanisms underlying the association of the serum phospholipid lipophilic index (LI) with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Therefore, we investigated whether the LI is associated with glucometabolic control, meta-inflammation, thrombin generation, fibrin clot properties, endothelial function and platelet activation in T2D patients with angiographically documented ASCVD.

Methods: We studied 74 T2D patients with ASCVD, aged 65.
