Background: While numerous studies have quantified the prevalence of reasons for missed care, a comprehensive synthesis of evidence across various health systems remains lacking.
Aim: To estimate the pooled prevalence of the reasons reported by nurses for missed care, using data from the MISSCARE surveys.
Introduction: Missed nursing care, which refers to any aspect of essential patient care that is omitted or delayed, presents substantial risks to patient safety and the quality of care.
Background: Colonoscopic enteral tube placement using current methods has some shortcomings, such as the complexity of the procedure and tube dislodgement. The magnetic navigation technique (MNT) has been proven effective for nasoenteral feeding tube placement, and is associated with reduced cost and time to initiation of nutrition. This study attempted to develop a novel method for enteral tube placement using MNT.

The pathway and mechanism of the interaction between microplastics, heavy metals, and antibiotics are the preconditions for evaluating the associated environmental risk; however, these are not well understood. As probe sorbates, the sorption behaviors of copper ions (Cu) and tetracycline (TC) on two microplastics [high density polyethylene (HPDE) and general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS)] in aqueous solution were investigated and the welding theory with relevant experimental results were discussed.
