Research progress of Mendelian randomization analysis for glaucoma etiology.

In recent years, Mendelian randomization (MR) has been increasingly utilized, leveraging genetic variants as instrumental variables. This approach significantly mitigates confounder effects and reverse causation, precisely clarifying the causal links between exposures and outcomes. MR's unique advantages have made it instrumental in medicine, especially in elucidating glaucoma's etiology.

Identification of key genes associated with anthracnose resistance in Camellia sinensis.

Anthracnose, a prevalent fungal disease in tea plantations, cause substantial economic losses in tea production. Identifying resistance-associated genes in tea plants is crucial for developing anthracnose-resistant cultivars. This study used eight tea samples with differential anthracnose resistance for phenotypic evaluation, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of RNA-seq data, WGCNA- QTL co-localization to identify resistance gene, and qRT-PCR validation of candidate genes.

Navigating the integration of artificial intelligence in Nursing: Opportunities, challenges, and strategic actions.

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years has brought about transformative changes across various sectors, including healthcare. In nursing practice, education, and research, AI has the potential to revolutionize traditional methodologies, enhance learning experiences, and improve patient outcomes. Integrating AI tools and techniques can provide clinicians with smarter clinical solutions and nursing students with more robust and interactive learning environments, while also advancing research capabilities in the field.

Physics-driven deep learning methods and numerically intractable "bad" Jaulent-Miodek equation.

The "bad" Jaulent-Miodek (JM) equation serves to describe the motion of non-viscous shallow water wave packets in a flat-bottomed domain subject to shear forces. The "bad" JM equation exhibits poor properties, characterized by the linear instability of nonlinear waves on the zero-plane background, rendering it challenging to solve through traditional analytical and numerical methods. In this paper, two classic physics-driven deep learning approaches, namely, Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN) and Physics and Equality-Constrained Artificial Neural Networks (PECANN), are combined into a two-stage "PINN+PECANN" neural network to address the nonlinear wave evolution on the zero-plane background for the "bad" JM equation.

Real-World Mobile Health Implementation and Patient Safety: Multicenter Qualitative Study.

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) is increasingly being used in contemporary health care provision owing to its portability, accessibility, ability to facilitate communication, improved interprofessional collaboration, and benefits for health outcomes. However, there is limited discourse on patient safety in real-world mHealth implementation, especially as care settings extend beyond traditional center-based technology usage to home-based care.

Objective: This study aimed to explore health care professionals' perspectives on the safety aspects of mHealth integration in real-world service provision, focusing on Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and Wuhan city in mainland China.

Psychological eHealth Interventions for Patients With Cardiovascular Diseases: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Psychological distress is recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. While eHealth is increasingly used to deliver psychological interventions, their effectiveness for patients with CVDs remains unclear.

Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of eHealth psychological interventions for patients with CVDs.

Feasibility, safety, and adherence of home-based exercise interventions in people diagnosed with cancer: a systematic review.

Purpose: This systematic review aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and adherence of home-based exercise interventions in people diagnosed with cancer. The primary research question is: Are home-based exercise interventions safe and feasible for people diagnosed with cancer?

Methods: A comprehensive search of databases including PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library was conducted in January 2025, focusing on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that involved home-based exercise interventions people diagnosed with cancer. Studies were included if they reported on safety, feasibility, and health-related outcomes.

Motivation to exercise in patients with chronic low back pain.

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems worldwide. Even though regular exercise is recommended as the primary conservative approach in treating this condition, significant part of patients lead sedentary lifestyle. Motivation to exercise is one of the variables that effects the adherence of exercise-based treatments.

A photo-thermal dual crosslinked chitosan-based hydrogel membrane for guided bone regeneration.

Alveolar bone defects caused by inflammation or trauma jeopardize patients' oral functions. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is widely used in repairing periodontal tissue, with barrier membranes play a crucial role in preserving the bone regeneration space. In this study, an injectable dual-crosslinked hydrogel was developed to improve the existing barrier membranes in flexibility and functionality.

Harmonizing Cognitive and Psychosocial Needs in Cognitive Training: Lessons Learned from Piano Training in Persons Living with Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Objectives: This qualitative study explored the potential of piano training as a holistic intervention to enhance both cognitive and emotional well-being. The study aims to detail the experiences of older adults living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a piano training program and recommend strategies to boost engagement.

Methods: Fourteen individuals (seven older adults with MCI and their family members) participated in individual semi-structured interviews before and after a 12-week group-based piano training program.

The associations of e-health perception and dementia knowledge with dementia public stigma in nursing students: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Preparing nursing students for dementia care, a prevalent cause of mortality, disability, and dependency among older people, is essential. Positive perceptions of e-health are believed to be associated with better knowledge, attitude, and skills among nurses across various care contexts. However, the relationship between e-health perception and nursing students' dementia knowledge and stigma remains underexplored.

Effectiveness of the Support From Community Health Workers and Health Care Professionals on the Sustained Use of Wearable Monitoring Devices Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The wearable monitoring device (WMD) is emerging as a promising tool for community-dwelling older adults to monitor personal health, enhance awareness of their activities, and promote healthy behaviors. However, the sustained use of WMDs among this population remains a significant challenge.

Objective: This study aims to implement an interventional program that promotes and motivates the continued use of WMDs among older adults through a peer and professional support approach.
