Assessing nurses' attitudes towards pressure ulcer prevention: an updated systematic review.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to critically appraise and synthesise the existing research literature pertaining to nurses' attitudes toward pressure ulcer (PU) prevention.

Method: The systematic review presented in our paper serves as an updated version of the definitive review conducted by Avsar et al. in 2019.

Toxicity, Pharmacokinetic Profile, and Compound-Protein Interaction Study of Polygonum minus Huds Extract.

Several phytochemicals with potential for bioactivity can be found in Polygonum minus (PM). The goal of this investigation was to establish the minimally toxic dose of PM for pharmaceutical use. To explain the stability and reactivity of the compounds under study, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), and the natural bond orbital were all combined.

Compliance with best practice recommendations for colonoscopy bowel preparation among hospitalized patients at a tertiary adult hospital.

Introduction: Proper bowel preparation is essential to successful colonoscopies. The quality of bowel preparation is often poorer in the inpatient settings compared with outpatient settings. This can result in repeat procedures and increased hospital length of stay.

Computational design and molecular modeling of the interaction of nicotinic acid hydrazide nickel-based complexes with HS gas.

The application of nickel complexes of nicotinic acid hydrazide ligand as a potential gas-sensor and adsorbent material for HS gas was examined using appropriate density functional theory (DFT) calculations with the ωB97XD/Gen/6-311++G(d,p)/LanL2DZ method. The FT-IR spectrum of the synthesized ligand exhibited a medium band at 3178 cm attributed to (NH) stretching vibrations and strong bands at 1657 and 1600 cm corresponding to the presence of (C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) and (C[double bond, length as m-dash]N) vibration modes. In the spectrum of the nickel(ii) complex, the (C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) and (C[double bond, length as m-dash]N) vibration bands experience negative shifts to 1605 cm and 1580 cm, respectively, compared to the ligand.

Health-related quality of life and assessment in patients with lower limb lymphoedema: a systematic review.

Objective: To determine the impact of lower limb lymphoedema (LLL) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and to identify the methodologies used to assess HRQoL and their adherence to the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended HRQoL dimensions.

Method: A systematic review was used following the PRISMA guidance. Studies were eligible if they assessed HRQoL in adult patients with LLL.
