Effect of mindfulness training program on well-being and leadership skills of psychiatric nurses.

Background: Nursing leaders need mindfulness, which is an effective intervention for reducing stress, promoting well-being, and enhancing their leadership skills.

Purpose: To explore the effect of a mindfulness training program on the well-being and leadership skills of head nurses.

Methods: A quasi-study design was used and conducted in a psychiatric and neurological university hospital on a convenience sample of 40 head nurses.

Effect of Adding Integrated Core and Graduated Upper Limb Exercises to Inpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation on Sternal Instability After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of adding integrated core and graduated resistance upper limb exercises to an inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program in patients with acute sternal instability after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Design: This was a single-center, randomized, controlled, parallel-group intervention study.

Setting: This study was conducted at the National Heart Institute.

Effect of Buerger-Allen exercise on wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers: a randomised controlled trial.

Objective: A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a complication of type 2 diabetes that is difficult to treat. Buerger-Allen exercise has shown effectiveness in improving foot circulation and neuropathy in several studies; however, to the best of our knowledge, no randomised controlled study has investigated its effectiveness for DFU healing. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effects of Buerger-Allen exercise on the healing of DFUs in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Study the association of microRNA polymorphisms (miR-146a, miR-4513) with the risk of coronary heart diseases in Egyptian population.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent cause of cardiovascular mortality in the world. It is well established that microRNAs (miRNAs) and their variants have an essential role in regulating the development of cardiovascular physiology, thus impacting the pathophysiology of heart diseases. This study was designed to determine the possible association of miRNA polymorphisms (miRNA-146a rs2910164C/G and miR-4513 rs2168518G/A) with susceptibility to CHD in Egyptian patients and their correlation with different biochemical parameters.

New quantification method for monitoring 18 l-amino acids levels in schizophrenic patients by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer.

A fast, uncomplicated, sensitive and fully validated high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method has been developed for estimating l-amino acids in the plasma of schizophrenic patients. The gradient-elution chromatographic method was implemented with the Luna® PFP column (50 × 2.0 mm, 5 μm), and a mobile phase of 0.

COVID-19 Infection Stigma Scale: psychometric properties.

Background: Stigma has been noticed towards patients with COVID-19 in several regions of the world. This social discrimination has contributed to delay in diagnosis and treatment. Also, it may increase the suffering of the patients leading to poor outcome of the illness.

XX sex chromosome complement promotes atherosclerosis in mice.

Men and women differ in circulating lipids and coronary artery disease (CAD). While sex hormones such as estrogens decrease CAD risk, hormone replacement therapy increases risk. Biological sex is determined by sex hormones and chromosomes, but effects of sex chromosomes on circulating lipids and atherosclerosis are unknown.

Probing the Solute-Solvent Interaction of an Azo-Bonded Prodrug in Neat and Binary Media: Combined Experimental and Computational Study.

Preferential solvation has significant importance in interpreting the molecular physicochemical properties of wide spectrum of materials in solution. In this work, the solute-solvent interaction of pro-drug Sulfasalazine (SSZ) in neat and binary media was investigated experimentally and computationally. The solute-solvent interactions of interest were spectrophotometrically probed and computationally investigated for providing insights concerning the molecular aspects of SSZ:media interaction.
