Synergistic Effects of Caffeoylquinic Acid Compounds with Levofloxacin Against Uropathogenic : Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Antibiofilm, and Antimicrobial Assessments.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs), primarily caused by uropathogenic (UPEC), have high morbidity and recurrence rates. Resistance to levofloxacin hydrochloride (LEV), a commonly used treatment for UTIs, is increasingly problematic, exacerbated by biofilm formation mediated by interactions between cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP or CDG) and YcgR. In this study, we identified three caffeoylquinic acid compounds from -chlorogenic acid (CGA), sibiricose A5 (Si-A5), and 3--caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (CAM)-that target YcgR through molecular docking.

Why do male nurses choose to work in foreign countries? A qualitative study on Chinese male nurses working in Japan.

Aim: This study aimed to examine foreign-educated male nurses' motivation to emigrate for work, as well as explore the contextual factors that shape their career trajectories.

Background: To that end, we interviewed Chinese male nurses working in Japan. No previous study has examined why male nurses seek employment abroad or the problems they face.

Impact of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation on Work Engagement: A Cross-Sectional Study of Nurses Working in Long-Term Care Facilities.

Nurses' work motivation impacts their job satisfaction and work engagement, affecting their quality of care. Work motivation, a personal resource, can be categorized into intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, each of which may function differently in the job demands-resources (JD-R) model. To study the effect of nurses' intrinsic and extrinsic work motivation on work engagement in long-term care (LTC) facilities, we randomly selected 1200 facilities from 6055 LTC facilities in eastern Japan.
