The aim of is study was to analyze the nurses' psychological variables taken firm Engelmann's List of Emotional States and based on the questionnaire answered by the subjects at the begining and end of each shift in different units of Hosptal das Clínicas, UNICAMP on the six-hour and twelve-hour schedules in activities developed at the surgical center (SC), Intensive Care Unit (ICU, Coronary Unit (CU) and Emergency Room (ER) with the averge age of 33.88 years old. The results allowed us to certify the nurses' emotional parameters have alterations during the shift which can be related to the burnout and stress of the care delivery activity, even more in units where it demands immediate answers kill and need on emergency. Tiredness was a strong variable at the end of the shifts in all units. The results obtained at the beginning and end of the shifts were statisically compared using the Kruskal-Wallis method and the group profiles demonstrated a variety of feelings and intensities that were statistically significant (p=pounds sterling 0.05).

The goal of this study was to determine how radiologists' rating of image quality when using 0.5T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compares to Computed Tomography (CT) for visualization of pathology and evaluation of specific anatomic regions within the paranasal sinuses. 42 patients with clinical CT scans opted to have a 0.

Fluid administration is widely used to treat hypotension in patients undergoing veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). However, excessive fluid administration may lead to fluid overload can aggravate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and increase patient mortality, predicting fluid responsiveness is of great significance for VV-ECMO patients. This prospective single-center study was conducted in a medical intensive care unit (ICU) and finally included 51 VV-ECMO patients with ARDS in the prone position (PP).

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) fundamentally differ from tobacco cigarettes in their generation of liquid-based aerosols. Investigating how e-cig aerosols behave when inhaled into the dynamic environment of the lung is important for understanding vaping-related exposure and toxicity. A ventilated artificial lung model was developed to replicate the ventilatory and environmental features of the human lung and study their impact on the characteristics of inhaled e-cig aerosols from simulated vaping scenarios.

Sacubitril/valsartan, a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor, is widely used to treat heart failure. Despite its efficacy, sacubitril/valsartan inevitably causes adverse events such as hypotension, renal dysfunction, hyperkalemia, and angioedema. Sacubitril/valsartan-associated ototoxicity is often underreported in clinical studies and real-world settings.

Fast and sensitive multivalent spatial pattern-recognition for circular RNA detection.

Nat Commun

Department of Pharmacology, Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Critical Care Medicine, School of Medicine, Southeast University, Nanjing, China.

While circular RNAs (circRNAs) exhibit lower abundance compared to corresponding linear RNAs, they demonstrate potent biological functions. Nevertheless, challenges arise from the low concentration and distinctive structural features of circRNAs, rendering existing methods operationally intricate and less sensitive. Here, we engineer an intelligent tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF) possessing precise spatial pattern-recognition properties with exceptional sensing speed and sensitivity for circRNAs.
