To provide nurse-led interprofessional practices in a healthcare setting, carrying out effective research that identifies the trends and characteristics of interprofessional education is necessary. This study aimed to objectively ascertain trends in the field through text network analysis of different types of interprofessional education literature. Titles and thesis abstracts were examined for terms "interprofessional education" and "nursing" and were found in 3926 articles from 1970 to August 2018.

This study identified the trends in end-of-life care and nursing through text network analysis. About 18,935 articles published until September 2019 were selected through searches on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. For topic modeling, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (K = 8) was applied.

This study aimed to understand the trends in research on the quality of life of returning to work (RTW) cancer survivors using text network analysis. Titles and abstracts of each article were examined to extract terms, including "cancer survivors", "return to work", and "quality of life", which were found in 219 articles published between 1990 and June 2020. Python and Gephi software were used to analyze the data and visualize the networks.

These nodes use limited energy batteries for easy deployment and low cost. The use of limited energy batteries is closely related to the lifetime of the sensor nodes when using wireless sensor networks.

As more wireless sensor nodes are equipped with multi-cores, there are emerging needs for energy-efficient real-time scheduling algorithms. The T-L plane-based scheme is known to be an optimal global scheduling technique for periodic real-time tasks on multi-cores.

Objective: Covered self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) are increasingly used as alternatives to uncovered SEMSs for the palliation of inoperable malignant distal biliary obstruction to counteract tumor ingrowth. We aimed to compare the outcomes of partially covered and uncovered SEMSs with identical mesh structures and anti-migration properties, such as low axial force and flared ends.
Materials And Methods: One hundred and three patients who were diagnosed with inoperable malignant distal biliary obstruction between January 2006 and August 2013 were randomly assigned to either the partially covered (n = 51) or uncovered (n = 52) SEMS group.
Background And Study Aims: Endoscopists sometimes face paradoxical cases in which the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) specimen reveals a non-neoplastic pathology result. The aims of the study were to determine the reasons for such results, and to compare the endoscopic characteristics of non-neoplastic and conventional neoplastic pathology groups after ESD.
Patients And Methods: A total of 1186 gastric ESDs performed between February 2005 and December 2011 were retrospectively reviewed.
