Aim: To investigate the associations between nurse staffing levels, nurse educational level, and nurse-sensitive patient outcomes among patients in medical and surgical wards.
Background: Patient outcomes are affected by a variety of factors, including nurse staffing and registered nurse (RN) educational levels. An examination of the associations between these factors and patient outcomes will help identify the impact that nurses make on patient care, including health and safety.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome of laser-assisted surgical correction of high hyperopic or mixed astigmatism using small incision intrastromal lenticule rotation (SMILERO) alone or combined with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Methods: This retrospective case series enrolled 25 eyes with high astigmatism that underwent SMILERO surgery. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), manifest refraction, central corneal thickness, and corneal higher order aberrations were analyzed before surgery and after 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up.
Purpose: To observe and explore the correlation between visual outcomes and intraocular lens (IOL) stability after tri-focal IOL implantation in eyes with high myopia.
Methods: Patients with highly myopic cataract (axial length > 26 mm) were enrolled in this prospective study. Thirty-one eyes (31 patients) received implantation of a trifocal IOL (AcrySof IQ PanOptix TFNT00).

Background: Vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) results from cerebrovascular injuries, significantly contributing to age-related cognitive decline, and coexists with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in excess of 70% of AD patients. These co-occurring neuropathological subtypes are referred to as mixed-etiology dementia (MED). Despite the prevalence of MED little is known regarding the neuroinflammatory responses of microglia in the context of vascular injury in tissues already containing AD-related cerebral amyloidosis.

Because these patients are living longer, treatment and disease surveillance targets have shifted toward enhancing quality of life and functional status. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is a valuable tool for assessing functional capacity, evaluating cardiac and pulmonary pathology, and providing guidance on prognosis and interventional recommendations.
