Bioscience teaching and learning in undergraduate nursing education: A systematic review with narrative synthesis.

Aim: To explore the teaching and learning methods used in bioscience education for undergraduate nursing students and evaluate their effectiveness for knowledge acquisition and student satisfaction.

Background: Understanding bioscience is essential for nurses to provide effective patient care. Despite its importance, students often struggle with the complex content and limited learning time.

A quantitative study examining infographic assessment guidelines for undergraduate nursing students with specific learning difficulties (SpLDs).

This research investigates the perceived clarity and usefulness of infographic versus traditional text-based assessment guidelines among undergraduate nursing students with and without specific learning difficulties (SpLDs). Through quantitative analysis, the study reveals that undergraduate nursing students with SpLDs significantly prefer infographics over text-based guidelines, both in terms of clarity and usefulness (p < .001).

Designer Benzodiazepines Gidazepam and Desalkygidazepam (Bromonordiazepam): What Do We Know?

Designer benzodiazepines are one of the primary new psychoactive substance (NPS) threats around the world, being found in large numbers in postmortem, driving under the influence of drugs and drug-facilitated sexual assault cases. Even though when compared to many other NPS types, such as opioids and cathinones, there are relatively few designer benzodiazepines being monitored. Recently, a new NPS benzodiazepine has been reported in Europe, the USA and Canada, desalkygidazepam, also known as bromonordiazepam.

The blood-to-plasma ratio and predicted GABA-binding affinity of designer benzodiazepines.

Purpose: The number of benzodiazepines appearing as new psychoactive substances (NPS) is continually increasing. Information about the pharmacological parameters of these compounds is required to fully understand their potential effects and harms. One parameter that has yet to be described is the blood-to-plasma ratio.
