Nurses' Perception of Their Role in Leading Nurse-Led Interventions in Intrinsic Capacity Assessment to Improve Nursing Care of Older Adults.

Aim: To explore nurses' perceptions of their role in leading nursing interventions for each domain of intrinsic capacity, based on the Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework to enhance care for older adults in acute settings.

Design: A qualitative descriptive design was adopted.

Methods: Conducted in a Singapore acute hospital from August to November 2023, recruited 21 inpatient nurses with at least 2 years of experience through purposive sampling.

Pharmacogenomics in psychiatry: Practice recommendations from an Asian perspective (2024).

Introduction: Pharmacogenomic testing in psychiatry is an emerging area with potential clinical application of guiding medication choice and dosing. Interest has been fanned by commercial pharmacogenomic providers who have commonly marketed combinatorial panels that are direct-to-consumer. However, this has not been adopted widely due to a combination of barriers that include a varying evidence base, clinician and patient familiarity and acceptance, uncertainty about cost-effectiveness, and regulatory requirements.

The historical evolution of smallpox treatment in Japan visualised through Japanese artwork and woodblock prints.

Art reveals core human emotions during catastrophes like epidemics, allowing people to narrate their coping stories. This review examines smallpox's historical evolution and treatment in Japan, integrating visual art with medical history. It provides chronological insights from smallpox's arrival and traditional remedies to the era of vaccination and public health measures leading to eventual eradication.

A related convolutional neural network for cancer diagnosis using microRNA data classification.

This paper develops a method for cancer classification from microRNA data using a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model optimized by genetic algorithm. The convolutional neural network has performed well in various recognition and perception tasks. This paper contributes to the cancer classification using a union of two CNNs.

Theory-based behaviour modification of Asian adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus after participating in a novel telemonitoring system: a qualitative research study.

Objective: Telemonitoring (TM) remotely monitors individuals' health. Awareness of personal clinical data has resulted in improved glycaemic control in adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, its effects on their health-seeking behaviour remain unclear.
