Article Synopsis
- Music can influence our attention and cognitive functions without us realizing it, and it triggers neurotransmitter release in the brain that improves our mood and thinking.
- This study examined how two types of music—Egyptian folk and classical—affected brain activity in 76 participants, revealing that different music genres activate distinct cortical areas in the brain, particularly influencing the frontal and occipital regions.
- Findings showed that folk music led to a significant decrease in brain activity, indicating a relaxed state that could temporarily reduce cognitive abilities, while classical music was linked to an overall more relaxed brain state.
Background: As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms nursing education, AI literacy is becoming a critical necessity for increasing the career potential and talent of nursing students. Additionally, fostering an innovation mindset promotes adaptability, creativity and openness to new approaches, further boosting students' confidence in their careers. However, few studies have examined the impact of these competencies on nursing students' career and talent self-efficacy, underscoring the need for further investigation.

- The study investigates the use of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to distinguish hepatic hemangiomas from other liver lesions in infants under 100 days old, potentially eliminating the need for biopsies.
- A review of MRI results from 30 infants found a high accuracy rate, with 94% agreement between MRI and final diagnoses, mainly identifying hemangiomas and hepatoblastoma.
- Key features of hemangiomas seen on MRI include centripetal filling and no washout, which can help clinicians make confident diagnoses and guide conservative management in early infancy.
This study aims to identify and categorize nonmedical barriers encountered by recipients, donors, and health care providers in the context of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Liver transplantation is vital for individuals with liver failure, yet high mortality rates on the transplant waitlist persist. LDLT was introduced to address deceased donor organ shortages; however, its adoption varies widely across regions, prompting the need to explore barriers hindering its implementation.

- Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) significantly improves survival rates for liver disease patients and decreases wait times for transplants.
- A study of 7,257 LDLT recipients showed a median overall survival of 17 years, with various factors influencing mortality rates identified over time.
- The findings suggest that LDLT is a safe and effective procedure, and survival rates have improved even as patient risk factors have increased, indicating room for further advancements in the field.
