Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a clinical judgment support program using mixed reality (MR) for the observation of postoperative patients.

Methods: This study employed a randomized controlled trial design, with 34 fourth-year nursing students as participants. The students were randomly allocated into two groups: a traditional simulation group (Sim group, = 17) and an MR group ( = 17).

Article Synopsis
  • * Elevated PNAs were found in the blood of children with T1D and those at risk of developing it, alongside increased markers of inflammation in pancreatic islets of certain mouse models, indicating a link between PNAs and T1D pathogenesis.
  • * PNAs might serve as a potential biomarker for early T1D detection, while a drug called methyl cellobiose sulfate (mCBS) has shown promise in reducing histone-induced damage to islet cells in

Introduction: This study aimed to develop a technique to create sequential slices, allowing the fluorescent visualization of bacterial viability in all parts of an infected dentin.

Methods: Cylindrical dentin blocks were prepared from freshly extracted human teeth with a single-rooted canal. Each block was immersed in 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 17% EDTA for 5 minutes before being infected with Enterococcus faecalis.

The detrimental influence of oxygen on the performance and reliability of V/III nitride based devices is well known. However, the influence of oxygen on the nature of the incorporation of other co-dopants, such as rare earth ions, has been largely overlooked in GaN. Here, we report the first comprehensive study of the critical role that oxygen has on Eu in GaN, as well as atomic scale observation of diffusion and local concentration of both atoms in the crystal lattice.
