Aims: To analyse the level of patient satisfaction regarding the care received in triage and its relationship with the competency level of clinical nurses in a hospital setting.
Design: A cross-sectional, prospective and multicentre study of nurses in hospital emergency triage and the patients they attended.
Method: Data were collected between October and November 2019 using two questionnaires; one collected sociodemographic factors, professional experience of the nurse and the competency assessment questionnaire for clinical nurses in the hospital setting (COM_VA).
Investigating the interactions between an industrial lipase and anionic (bio)surfactants.

Article Synopsis
- Synergies between amphiphiles and additives, like enzymes, in laundry products enhance sustainability by significantly lowering energy use, while traditional surfactants are harmful to the environment due to their petroleum origin and toxic byproducts.
- This study examines the interaction of the industrial lipase LIPEX® with three biosurfactants (rhamnolipids, sophorolipids, and surfactin) and the conventional surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) using techniques like Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and isothermal titration calorimetry.
- Findings show that while SDS activates the enzyme, the biosurfactants inhibit it; however, rhamnolipids and surfact
Introduction: Perceived quality of patient care is essential in healthcare, particularly in hospital emergency departments (EDs), where the triage process, performed by nurses, is fundamental yet under-researched. The aim is to explore patient satisfaction in triage, identify improvement opportunities, and provide guidance for future research to enhance ED care.
Methodology: A scoping review was conducted across databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, Joanna Briggs, Google, and Google Scholar.
Aging is commonly accompanied by increased cardiovascular risk and diet plays a crucial role in health condition. The aim of this study was to determine cardiovascular risk factors as predictors of nutritional risk in Mexican older adults. A cross-sectional study on Mexican patients aged ≥60 years with cardiovascular risk factors affiliated with a medical unit in Northeast Mexico was performed from July to December 2021.
