Introduction: The adoption of measurement instruments such as the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is essential to assess clinical competencies in nursing students.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to develop an OSCE, analyze its validity and reliability in the nursing curriculum and measure self-assessment, stress and satisfaction.
Methods: The observational validation study of a measurement instrument was carried out in two phases: the design and development of the OSCE and validity and reliability analysis.
Results: A total of 118 students participated in the study. Ten scenarios were designed that incorporated six competency components extracted from the curriculum. Good results were obtained in face validity, content validity (CVI .82-.95), criterion validity (r = .71, p < .001), and reliability (α Cronbach .84). Satisfaction and stress scores were high, and self-assessment scores were lower than the scores obtained.
Conclusion: A rigorously designed OSCE provides a reliable and valid method for assessing the clinical competence of nursing students.

Importance: Uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common indication for outpatient antimicrobial therapy. National guidelines for the management of uncomplicated UTI were published in 2011, but the extent to which they align with current practices, patient diversity, and pathogen biology, all of which have evolved greatly in the time since their publication, is not fully known.
Objective: To reevaluate the effectiveness and adverse event profile for first-line antibiotics, fluoroquinolones, and oral β-lactams for treating uncomplicated UTI in contemporary clinical practice.
Background: Obesity is a global health issue that complicates surgical outcomes, particularly in bariatric/metabolic surgery candidates. Assessing functional capacity is critical for optimizing preoperative planning and postoperative care. The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) is a simple, self-administered questionnaire that estimates functional capacity based on daily activities.

Purpose: Following the initial reports demonstrating the feasibility of immunoPET imaging of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) using gp120-targeting monoclonal antibodies in non-human primates, replication efforts of the imaging system in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals have yielded conflicting results. Herein, we used two anti-gp120 antibodies, 7D3 and ITS103.01LS-F(ab'), to interrogate the reproducibility of gp120-targeting probes for immunoPET imaging of SIV in rhesus macaques.

Purpose: Recovery is a key objective in mental health services for people with severe mental illness (SMI). In addition to clinical and functional recovery, personal recovery has gained increasing attention. The CHIME Framework identifies five personal recovery processes-Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning, Empowerment-and is the theoretical foundation for the Brief INSPIRE, a validated Patient-Rated Experience Measure (PREM) to evaluate recovery support.

Oligomerized electron acceptors, featuring molecular weights akin to polymers and well-defined chemical structures, have emerged as promising candidates for organic solar cells (OSCs) due to their consistent batch-to-batch reproducibility and improved thermal stability. In this study, we developed a series of oligomerized electron acceptors incorporating alkynyl linkages via an efficient Sonogashira coupling reaction between alkyne-substituted Y-type precursors and multi-substituted iodobenzenes. This method produced monomeric (S-Alkyne-YF), dimeric (D-Alkyne-YF), and trimeric (T-Alkyne-YF) configurations, enabling systematic control over molecular size and substituent arms.
