Clinical Relevance: Clinical evaluation of the optic nerve using 3-D stereo disc photographs is considered the gold standard for estimating vertical cup-to-disc ratios. Ultra-widefield retinal imaging has gained increasing popularity to document and screen the health of the retina and optic nerve.
Background: Glaucoma is often first identified or suspected based on initial optic nerve assessment.
Background: Delirium is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome characterised by an acute state of confusion, with a substantial impact on medical inpatients. Despite its growing recognition as a global healthcare concern, delirium remains underdiagnosed, partly due to a lack of awareness among healthcare professionals. The aim of this study was to explore how healthcare professional students experience caring for individuals experiencing delirium, the influence of their current pre-registration healthcare education, and importance of interprofessional teamwork in their role.

Background: Pressure injury causes harm to patients and incurs significant costs to health services. Significant emphasis is placed on their prevention.
Theoretical study of the temperature dependence of Auger-Meitner recombination in (Al,Ga)N quantum wells.
J Phys Condens Matter

Article Synopsis
- Non-radiative Auger-Meitner recombination processes in III-nitride optoelectronic devices can lead to efficiency drops at high temperatures and carrier densities, but understanding of these processes in UV-operating devices is limited.
- The study investigates the temperature dependence of Auger-Meitner recombination in (Al,Ga)N/AlN quantum wells using a model that considers alloy fluctuations and carrier localization effects.
- Results indicate that while radiative recombination slightly increases with temperature, Auger-Meitner recombination may decrease, suggesting that other non-radiative processes outside the active region are likely responsible for the thermal efficiency drop in these devices.
