Aim: This study aimed to assess the relationship between compulsory citizenship behavior and nurses' silence.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional online study was conducted in October 2023, targeting 402 nurses working in Yichang Central People's Hospital, Hubei Province, China. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire comprising demographic details, the Compulsory Citizenship Behavior Scale, and the Nurses' Silence Scale.
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is common in hemodialysis patients and can lead to several complications. Risk factors for IDH include demographic characteristics, comorbidities, dialysis procedure factors, and so on. Clinical studies on predictive models for dialysis-induced hypotension have shown inconsistent results.

- Influenza B virus can cause myocarditis, a serious heart condition, especially in rare cases like that of a 7-year-old boy who developed severe symptoms and ultimately died from multi-organ failure despite intensive care.
- Treatment included advanced medical interventions such as ECMO and CRRT, but the case emphasizes the rapid progression and challenges of managing fulminant myocarditis.
- The literature indicates that this condition mainly affects girls and there are few pediatric instances; however, anti-thymocyte globulin therapy shows promise as a potential treatment avenue.
Background: Given increases in China's aging population, the growing demand for public health services and the shortage of human resources among nurses have become more prominent. Under such a background, "Internet + Nursing Services" have received more attention. Thus, exploring the barriers to and facilitators of nurses' willingness to participate in "Internet + Nursing Services" and utilizing internet technology to increase the supply of nursing services has become a key issue.

Dormant tumor cells (DTCs) serve a crucial role in the pathogenesis of metastasis and may compromise the efficacy of existing therapeutic modalities aimed at fully eradicating cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying the dormant-to-proliferating switch of DTCs remain largely unknown. The lung is one of the most common sites of metastatic recurrence.

Objective: To explore the role of TLR4 in myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MI/RI) by observing the dynamic TLR4 expression changes at mRNA and protein levels early after myocardial ischemia reperfusion.
Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into Sham and IR group and the rats were killed according to different reperfusion time (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours).
