Objective: To investigate the effect of comprehensive nursing intervention on the effect of CT-guided intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute cerebral infarction.
Methods: 99 patients with acute cerebral infarction in the internal carotid artery system who were hospitalized in our department from December 2019 to December 2020 with an onset of 3-9 h were selected and randomly divided into two groups. All patients underwent multimode CT examinations and received rt-PA thrombolytic therapy. 52 patients with conventional care were included in the control group, and 47 patients with comprehensive nursing intervention were included in the observation group. The influence characteristics, Barthel score, serum MMP-9 level, and NIHSS score were compared between the two groups.
Results: After the comprehensive nursing intervention, the total efficiency, total satisfaction, psychological status, and Barthel score of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( < 0.05). The serum MMP-9 level and NIHSS score were significantly lower than those of the control group ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: The use of comprehensive nursing interventions in the CT-guided intravenous thrombolysis treatment of ACI patients reduced the degree of neurological impairment, improved the therapeutic effect, increased nursing satisfaction, and enabled better control of the condition of patients with cerebral infarction, which is worth promoting research.

Background: The digital shift in higher education is moving from teacher-focused models to active learning with digital technologies, including the integration of game-based learning strategies. We aim to identify, assess, and summarize the findings of evidence and determine the effectiveness of game-thinking on learning outcomes in nursing education.
Methods: A comprehensive search for relevant literature was conducted between April and May 2022 Seven databases ERIC, Scopus, ProQuest Education Source, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Embase were utilized to locate original, peer-reviewed papers published in English.

Introduction: Little is known about the symptom burden of breast cancer survivors with early-stage disease. Many studies have focused on symptoms of patients who are undergoing or recently completed systemic therapy. However, with the increased use of Oncotype DX, the proportion of early-stage hormone receptor-positive patients who undergo chemotherapy has declined, making existing studies of the symptom experience less useful for these patients.

Purpose: Although nurses frequently are responsible to care for and ensure safety of patients receiving epidural analgesia resources to guide them in this care are difficult to locate and not inclusive of all aspects of such care. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a comprehensive resource to provide information for nurses when caring for patients receiving analgesia via an epidural catheter.
Methods: Literature and guidelines were reviewed to determine current standards of practice and guidance regarding care of patients receiving epidural analgesia.

Background: In Alabama, the undiagnosed HIV rate is over 20%; youth and young adults, particularly those who identify as sexual and gender minority individuals, are at elevated risk for HIV acquisition and are the only demographic group in the United States with rising rates of new infections. Adolescence is a period marked by exploration, risk taking, and learning, making comprehensive sexual health education a high-priority prevention strategy for HIV and sexually transmitted infections. However, in Alabama, school-based sexual health and HIV prevention education is strictly regulated and does not address the unique needs of sexual and gender minority teenagers.
