Background: The advent of ultrasonic scalpels has remarkably advanced minimally invasive surgery; however, the Chinese market's reliance on imports highlights the urgent need for a cost-effective, efficient, and domestically produced surgical scalpel. This study aimed to compare SanAgileSA01 with the Johnson & Johnson GEN11, and HAR36 surgical devices.
Research Design And Methods: In total, 152 participants requiring urological or general laparoscopic surgery were randomly and equally divided between the two hospitals and randomized to the test and control groups.
Background: Optimizing the monitoring of peripheral venous catheters is essential. We developed a nursing record system at bedside (Patient Smart Reader) to track peripheral venous catheter acts.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to improve peripheral venous catheter monitoring.
Aim: Considering the increasing number of emerging infectious diseases, innovative approaches are strongly in demand. Additionally, research in this field has expanded exponentially. Thus, faced with this diverse information, we aim to clarify key concepts and knowledge gaps of technology in nursing and the field of infectious diseases.

Methods: This study used Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) and the Bland- Altman plot to analyse the agreement between temperature measurements using an ingestible capsule sensor, a skin sensor and two non-invasive peripheral temperature measurements (axillary and infrared non-contact), collected from a population of febrile patient admitted for infectious disease.
Results: Of the 77 febrile patients screened, 26 patients were enrolled.
