Background: Leadership training is crucial for nurses to navigate changes, but research on nursing department directors' views of such programmes is limited.
Aim: To explore the perspectives and experiences of nursing department directors regarding a national leadership training programme for mid-level nurse managers.
Design: Descriptive Qualitative Study.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-dependent incurable neurodegenerative disorder accompanied by neuroinflammation, amyloid accumulation, and memory impairment. It begins decades before the first clinical symptoms appear, and identifying early biomarkers is key for developing disease-modifying therapies. We show now in a mouse model of AD that before any amyloid deposition the brains of 1.

- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality, and studies show they are interconnected.* -
- This review examines how OSA impacts blood pressure, including its effects on nocturnal blood pressure, response to CPAP treatment, and its contribution to blood pressure variability and cardiac remodeling.* -
- The article also highlights the influence of ethnicity and social determinants on OSA, emphasizing disparities in blood pressure control and cardiovascular health within Asian populations.*
Article Synopsis
- Recent research highlights the use of electronic polarizations, like ferroelectric and spin polarizations, to improve the efficiency of photocatalytic reactions, specifically for reducing carbon dioxide (CO).
- The study focuses on a 2D layered crystal called copper indium thiophosphate (CuInPS), showing that controlling ferroelectric polarization through phase transitions and electrical poling significantly enhances CO reduction efficiency.
- The research also investigates the role of spin electrons by introducing sulfur vacancies and applying a magnetic field to further boost CO reduction performance, utilizing advanced characterization techniques to understand these enhancements.
Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is a pivotal treatment for end-stage liver disease. However, bloodstream infections (BSI) in the post-operative period present a significant threat to patient survival. This study aims to identify risk factors for post-LT BSI and crucial prognostic indicators for mortality among affected patients.
