Nursing students develop their professional "self" through clinical placement experiences. Aesthetic expression can be used as a means to reflect students' personal knowing and to convey self as nurtured during their clinical journey. In a postconference session of the Basic Nursing Care Practicum course, six students were asked to draw pictures reflecting their clinical experience and then share their stories.

Burn injuries are complex, life-threatening events involving intricate cellular and molecular processes, including angiogenesis, which is vital for effective wound healing. polysaccharide (BSP), a bioactive compound from , exhibits anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. However, its impact on angiogenesis modulation, particularly through the synaptopodin-2-like (SCEL) gene, remains poorly understood.

Background: Regenerating periodontal ligament (PDL) tissue is a vital challenge in dentistry that aims to restore periodontal function and aesthetics. This study explores a tissue engineering strategy that combines polycaprolactone (PCL)/collagen/cellulose acetate electrospun scaffolds with collagen hydrogels to deliver curcumin-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles fand periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs).
Methods: Scaffolds were fabricated via electrospinningand collagen hydrogels incorporated PDLSCs and curcumin-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles (CURZIF-8) were developed using cross-linking.

Purpose: Wearable electronic low vision enhancement systems (wEVES) improve visual function but are not widely adopted by people with vision impairment. Here, qualitative research methods were used to investigate the usefulness of wEVES for people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after an extended home trial.
Methods: Following a 12-week non-masked randomised crossover trial, semi-structured interviews were completed with 34 participants with AMD, 64.

: Totally endoscopic techniques have become increasingly popular in cardiac surgery, with minimally invasive mitral valve repair emerging as an effective alternative to median sternotomy. This approach could be particularly advantageous for patients with Noonan syndrome, who often present with structural thoracic anomalies and other comorbidities like bleeding disorders. Endoscopic mitral valve surgery is rapidly establishing itself as the new standard of care for mitral valve operations, demonstrating both safety and efficacy.
