Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased depressive symptoms and diminished sleep quality among nurses. This study explores the relationships among social support, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms among Chinese nurses during the COVID-19 outbreak, with a focus on the mediating role of sleep quality.
Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 2140 nurses was conducted from August to September 2022.
Introduction: Studies on mental health applications among college students lack empirical evidence regarding mobile application usage's intensity, duration and frequency.
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)-based mobile application in ameliorating depressive symptoms among college students.
Methods: A randomised controlled trial was conducted at three universities.
Cancer casts a profound shadow on global health, with pain emerging as one of the dominant and severe complications, particularly in advanced stages. The effective management of cancer-induced pain remains an unmet need. Emerging preclinical evidence suggests that targets related to tumor immunotherapy may also modulate cancer-related pain pathways, thus offering a promising therapeutic direction.

- Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) show promise but suffer from structural instability, particularly in high humidity, which limits their practical use.
- Researchers discovered a method to grow nanowires (NWs) of MHP on glass surfaces under 85% humidity, allowing for tunable lengths and compositions.
- These nanowire lasers demonstrated impressive qualities such as high quality factor and stability, opening up new possibilities for advanced optical applications.
Article Synopsis
- * A key finding is the existence of a "turning point temperature" during LDED, which increases with heat accumulation and influences the initial temperature for the subtractive milling process.
- * Maintaining an optimal milling temperature of around 100 °C improves surface quality and reduces tool wear, but excessively high temperatures can lead to tool adhesion issues and a decline in milling quality.
