Quality of Nursing Care as Perceived by Patients Treated for Multiple Myeloma in Polish Oncology Units: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Patient satisfaction is one of the indicators of the quality of nursing care. The purpose of this study is to find out the level of satisfaction of patients with multiple myeloma with the quality of nursing care in oncology units. Data were obtained by a diagnostic survey method, using the Newcastle Nursing Satisfaction Scale.

Acclimatizing waste activated sludge in a thermophilic anaerobic fixed-bed biofilm reactor to maximize biogas production for food waste treatment at high organic loading rates.

Thermophilic anaerobic digestion (TAD) provides a promising solution for sustainable high-strength waste treatment due to its enhanced methane-rich biogas recovery. However, high organic loading rates (OLR) exceeding 3.0 kgCOD/m/day and short hydraulic retention times (HRT) below 10 days pose challenges in waste-to-energy conversion during TAD, stemming from volatile fatty acids (VFAs) accumulation and methanogenesis failure.

Effects of Ethanolic and Aqueous Extracts of Leaves in an In Vivo Experimental Model Induced by a Hyperlipidic Diet.

The study of medicinal plants, such as the genus (Clusiaceae), in the treatment of non-communicable chronic diseases has aroused the interest of researchers. However, there are no studies in the literature that have investigated the effects of in experimental models of obesity for possible metabolic alterations. Swiss mice receiving a high-fat diet were supplemented with aqueous or ethanolic extract of at doses of 200 or 400 mg/kg/day.

Effects of the Seed Oil of Linn on Food Consumption, Adiposity, Metabolic and Inflammatory Profile of Mice Using Hyperlipidic Diet.

Background: Studies indicate that different parts of Linn have nutritional properties that mean it can be used as an adjuvant for the treatment of various pathologies.

Methods: The fatty acid composition of the oil extracted from the seeds of Linn was evaluated by gas chromatography, and an acute toxicity test was performed. For the experiment, Swiss mice were fed a balanced or high-fat diet and supplemented with saline, soybean oil, olive oil, or papaya seed oil.

ATAC-Seq Analysis of Accessible Chromatin: From Experimental Steps to Data Analysis.

Accessible chromatin often represents gene regulatory elements, including promoters and enhancers, essential for gene expression. Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) is one of the most popular techniques to investigate chromatin accessibility across the genome. Here we describe, step by step, a series of optimized experimental methods and bioinformatics pipelines for ATAC-seq analysis.
