Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses work under heavy workloads, which can lead to serious consequences for nurses' outcomes and patient safety. This study aimed to examine the relationship between professional quality of life (Pro QOL), and sleep quality among ICU nurses during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Methods: A cross-sectional and multicentre study was conducted on 253 nurses in 20 COVID-19 ICUs in four major teaching hospitals from July 2021 to June 2022.
Early prediction of poor outcomes in patients impacted with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is crucial for timely intervention and effective management. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML) algorithms in predicting poor outcomes in patients with aSAH, assessing their sensitivity, specificity, and other algorithm metrics. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of science and Cochrane library conducted to identify eligible studies.

Sorghum waste serves as the silica source in the adsorbent preparation process, ensuring an eco-friendly approach. The benzo-15-crown-5 ionic liquid is coupled to thiol-functionalized fibrous silica spheres through an efficient thiol-ene click reaction.
