Background: Presenteeism, a phenomenon in which employees attend work despite physical or mental limitations, is prevalent among nurses and has negative implications for patients, healthcare organizations, and nurses themselves.

Objective: We aimed to present the current state of knowledge on presenteeism in nursing, focusing on prevalence rates, reasons, influencing factors, and consequences.

Design: We performed an integrative review.

Purpose: To evaluate the ability of a novel device using virtual implantation to compare the visual performance of two different types of intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Methods: In this prospective, masked, and randomized clinical trial, the visual performance of monofocal and lowadd bifocal IOLs was compared using a device for virtual implantation called VirtIOL. Eighty patients (< 50 years old with healthy eyes and without cataract) were enrolled in this study.

Background: The aim of the study was to capture images that form on the human retina after the simulated implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL). White light was used rather than the commonly used near-infrared light, which is unsuitable for the examination of diffractive IOLs. For this purpose, a special optical setup was developed to investigate the influence of the IOL design on two-dimensional retinal images .

Purpose: This study uses the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to explore presenteeism, where individuals work despite being ill. The research seeks to understand how attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control are associated with presenteeism behaviours.

Methods: A longitudinal design was employed, involving 2814 employees from 16 companies.

We report vibrationally resolved threshold photoelectron spectra of several sulfur-containing reactive intermediates. This includes the organosulfur radicals CHS, CHS, CHSH, CHS, and SH, which are relevant in atmospheric chemistry and in astrochemical settings. Due to the high reactivity, the radicals were prepared pyrolysis of (CH)S.
