Pain is underrecognized and undertreated in patients with dementia. It has been suggested that nurses’ attitudinal barriers may contribute to the challenges surrounding pain assessment and management in dementia.

This integrative literature review aims to identify and explore nurses’ knowledge and attitudes towards pain assessment in older…[Read more]

Ten new (1-10) and five known (11-15) ent-kaurane diterpene derivatives were identified from the roasted beans of coffea arabica. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis including 1D, 2D NMR (HSQC, HMBC, COSY, and ROESY), HRESIMS, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1-3 were three types of rearranged ent-kaurane…[Read more]

In diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of breast MRI, simultaneous multislice acceleration techniques can be used for readout-segmented echo planar imaging (rs-EPI) to shorten the scan time.

To compare the image quality, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value, and scan time of rs-EPI and simultaneous multislice rs-EPI (SMS rs-EPI)…[Read more]

The small intestine is a specialised organ, essential for nutrient digestion and absorption. It is lined with a complex epithelial cell layer. Intestinal epithelial cells can be cultured in three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds as self-organising entities with distinct domains containing stem cells and differentiated cells. Recent developments in…[Read more]

diography measurements. Moreover, the significant decrease in the systolic pulmonary artery pressure value and E/e’s ratio following septoplasty indicated that negative echocardiographic findings may be prevented by this surgery.

The decrease in NOSE scores following septoplasty indicated that the satisfaction levels of the patients were…[Read more]

The use of piezosurgery can safely and effectively complete one-s…[Read more]

Abies nordmanniana is used for Christmas tree production but poor seed germination and slow growth represent challenges for the growers. We addressed the plant growth promoting potential of root-associated bacteria isolated from A. nordmanniana. Laboratory screenings of a bacterial strain collection yielded several Bacillus and Paenibacillus…[Read more]

The study demonstrates a viable approach to introducing true dopant-level impurities with high precision, which can be scaled up to batch production for applications beyond digital electronics.Sequence variants of ZMYND15 cause azoospermia in humans, but they have not yet been reported in infertile men with severe oligozoospermia (SO). We…[Read more]

hs. At one week postoperatively 24 (80%, n = 30), at 3 months 28 (93.33%, n = 30) and at 6 months 24 (88.89%, n = 27) eyes were asymptomatic.

Implantation of monocanalicular silicone stent is effective and easy-to-perform. It can resolve congenital tear duct stenosis, especially where previous probing was not successful and where stenosis…[Read more]
