Effect of the modified NUTRIC score in predicting the prognosis of patients admitted to intensive care units.

Background: Nutritional deficiency is common in critically ill hospitalized patients. This condition may be aggravated by increased dietary requirements and deficiencies in nutrient absorption. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between the modified Nutritional Risk in Critically ill (mNUTRIC) score and mortality and morbidity in patients with sepsis.

In Vitro Comparison of Surface Characteristics and Bacterial Adhesion in Composite Resin-Based Materials for Additive, Subtractive, and Conventional Manufacturing.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the surface roughness (SR), contact angle (CA), surface free energy (SFE), and bacterial adhesion of resin-based materials used in additive, subtractive, and conventional manufacturing techniques.

Materials And Methods: This study involved four groups of 23 specimens: Indirect conventional resin composite (ICRC), subtractively manufactured resin composite (SMRC), additively manufactured resin composite (AMRC), and soda-lime-silica glass (SLSG). One specimen per group was analyzed by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) before polishing.

Protocol to study electrophysiological properties of hPSC-derived 3D cardiac organoids using MEA and sharp electrode techniques.

Continuing advancements in human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived complex three-dimensional (3D) cardiac tissues require the development of novel technologies or adaptation of existing technologies to understand the physiology of the derived 3D cardiac tissues. In this protocol, we describe the use of multielectrode array (MEA) and sharp electrode electrophysiology techniques to investigate the electrical properties of 3D cardiac organoids. This protocol deciphers the electrical behavior of 3D cardiac organoids at both the single-cell level and tissue level.

Investigation of the relationship between screen usage habits, behavioral problems and self-regulation skills of children aged 4-6.

Purpose: Amidst the multifaceted changes taking place in our dynamic world, the study of screen usage habits and their impacts on children has emerged as a burgeoning area of research interest. The current research endeavors to investigate and establish the correlation that exists between screen usage patterns, behavioral challenges, and self-regulation capabilities within the demographic of children aged 4-6 years.

Design And Methods: In the study, descriptive cross-sectional and relationship-seeking research model.

Ethical sensitivity and compassion competence in nursing students: Two-center study/comparison of two different cultures.

Background: Although the literature includes studies on nursing students' ethical sensitivity and compassion competence, no study has examined and compared these skills among nursing students from different cultures.

Aim: This research determined and compared the ethical sensitivity and compassion competency levels of nursing students in two different geographies, one in Turkey (Group I) and one in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (Group II), which hosts students with different cultural characteristics.

Design: Quantitative and cross-sectional research.
