Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of using case studies and simulated patients in teaching students to plan their nursing care.
Methods: The study sample consisted of 70 second-year nursing students. Study data were collected using a questionnaire and by evaluating students' nursing care plans.
Results: The highest percentages of diagnoses identified were altered oral mucous membrane, ineffective breathing pattern, disturbed sleep pattern: less than body requirement, impaired tissue integrity, pain, and risk for infection.
Conclusions: The use of simulated patients in nursing education appears to help students evaluate realistic medical cases and clinical problems, and plan their nursing care.

Aims: The beta-lactam antibiotic temocillin is increasingly used to treat extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL-producing) strains; however, its protein binding is complex. This study aims to predict unbound temocillin concentrations in various participant groups to determine its impact on the probability of target attainment (PTA) and to improve dosing recommendations.
Methods: The plasma pharmacokinetics were analysed using non-linear mixed-effects modelling.

Introduction: Modern orthodontics is undergoing a revolution with the advent of 3D imaging, offering unprecedented perspectives for the evaluation and treatment of facial asymmetries. These asymmetries, whether mandibular, maxillary, or dental, require a deeper understanding of their causes and their aesthetic and functional impact. Additionally, associated functional imbalances must be addressed for comprehensive management.

Background: This study evaluates the contouring variability among observers using MR images reconstructed by different sequences and quantifies the differences of automatic segmentation models for different sequences.
Patients And Methods: Eighty-three patients with pelvic tumors underwent T1-weighted image (T1WI), contrast enhanced Dixon T1-weighted (T1dixonc), and T2-weighted image (T2WI) MR imaging on a simulator. Two observers performed manual delineation of the bladder, anal canal, rectum, and femoral heads on all images.
Dosimetric and Radiobiological Impact of Patient Setup Errors in Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy for Esophageal Cancer.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Cancer Hospital of Shantou University Medical College, Shantou, Guangdong, PR China.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of patient setup errors on the dosimetry and radiobiological models of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for esophageal cancer.
Methods And Materials: This retrospective study with 56 patients in thermoplastic mask (TM) and vacuum bag (VB) groups utilized real setup-error (RSE) data from cone-beam CT scans to generate simulated setup-error (SSE) data following a normal distribution. The SSE data were applied to simulate all treatment fractions per patient by shifting the plan isocenter and recalculating the dose.
