Background: The release of the open-source platform ChatGPT in November 2022 created massive interest in the possibilities of artificial intelligence-based chatbots. However, there is little knowledge about how artificial intelligence could be used in nursing practice.

Aim: In this study, we aimed to discover whether nurses' answers to nursing-related questions differ from those generated by artificial intelligence.

Background: Social media use is increasing every year, and nurses use social media to connect with each other. As Instagram was the most downloaded application in 2022 worldwide, this study focused on nurses' use of Instagram in the context of the development of a professional identity and in support of the professionalization of nursing.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out how nurses use their Instagram profiles to influence their followers' professional identity and support the professionalization of nursing.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of lymphatic and vascular invasion on overall survival in patients with surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without lymph node and distant metastases.

Methods: From January 1999 to December 2009, a total of 190 NSCLC patients with node-negative pT1-pT4 disease underwent radical resection with lymphadenectomy. Pathologic reports were reclassified to the TNM-7 version, and the influence of lymphatic and vascular invasion on overall survival was examined using Kaplan-Meier and adjusted Cox proportional hazards analyses.

The progress of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is dependent on sufficient angiogenesis. Thrombin induced activation of proteinase-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) on platelets leads to platelet secretion and aggregation. This influences cell survival, apoptosis and angiogenesis by the release of VEGF and Endostatin (ES), a potent angiogenesis inhibitor.

Background And Aim: Gastric carcinoma is the second most frequent cause of cancer-related death worldwide. As PTEN is a potential modifier of tumour response to trastuzumab, a recently approved therapy in metastatic HER2 positive gastric cancer, the existence of PTEN deletions in primary gastric cancer was investigated.

Methods: 230 primary gastric cancers were analysed in a tissue microarray format by dual labelling fluorescence in situ hybridisation for PTEN deletion.

Purpose: VEGFR-2 gene displays several functional germline polymorphisms with impact on VEGFR-2 mediated angiogenesis. Our purpose was to evaluate VEGFR-2 polymorphisms as prognostic markers for tumor recurrence and overall survival (OS) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: In total, 209 Caucasian patients who had been surgically treated for NSCLC between 1996 and 2010 were included in this study.
