Exploring dementia care competence of nurses working in acute care settings.

Aims And Objectives: To examine the current status of dementia care competence of nurses working in acute care settings as well as the relationship between competence and demographic attributes.

Background: Most people with dementia are older individuals when they are admitted to unfamiliar acute care settings for treatment, and they are prone to displaying BPSD. If nurses working in acute care settings are not sufficiently competent in dementia care, providing proper patient care is difficult.

The impact of aging on society is comprehensive and profound. Dementia is a key representative disease / condition of aging societies. The complexity of the course, behavior, and psychiatric symptoms of this disease often burdens families and challenges professional caregivers.

Renin activates PI3K-Akt-eNOS signalling through the angiotensin AT₁ and Mas receptors to modulate central blood pressure control in the nucleus tractus solitarii.

Background And Purpose: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is critical for the control of blood pressure by the CNS. Recently, direct renin inhibitors were approved as antihypertensive agents. However, the signalling mechanism of renin, which regulates blood pressure in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) remains unclear.
