[Translation and Validation of the Chinese Attitudes Toward Physician-Nurse Collaboration Scale].

Background: Promoting interprofessional collaboration has become increasingly important in the work of healthcare professionals. However, in Asia, differences in role awareness and professional perceptions remain significant barriers to effective collaboration among these professionals. Interprofessional collaborative practice is recognized as a crucial strategy for achieving patient-centered and high-quality holistic care in Taiwan, with research indicating attitudes toward physician-nurse collaboration significantly shape this relationship and interprofessional collaborative practice, emphasizing the important influence of attitudes toward physician-nurse collaboration on the overall care process.

Association Between Social Jetlag and Components of Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: A mismatch between biological and social time, often referred to as social jetlag (SJL), can lead to inadequate sleep and activities or taking meals at times that do not align with our biological rhythms, increasing the risk of metabolic abnormalities. Although the association between sleep and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is well established, the effects of SJL on MetS and the components of MetS in adults remain unclear.

Purpose: This study was designed to explore the relationship between SJL and MetS components in adults.

Some epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain-containing proteins of other members of apicomplexan parasites have been reported to contribute to parasite survival. To date, however, EGF-like domain-containing proteins of E.

This work aimed to investigate the activity of loureirin A against Candida albicans biofilms. 2, 3-Bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT)reduction assay and scanning electron microscopy were used to investigate the anti-biofilm effect.

CZ-7, a new derivative of Claulansine F, ameliorates 2VO-induced vascular dementia in rats through a Nrf2-mediated antioxidant responses.

Vascular dementia (VD) results from accumulated damage in the vascular system, which is characterized by progressive impairments in memory and cognition and is second only to Alzheimer's disease (AD) in prevalence among all types of dementia. In contrast to AD, there is no FDA-approved treatment for VD owing to its multiple etiologies. In this study, we investigated whether CZ-7, a new derivative of Claulansine F (Clau F) with verified neuroprotective activity in vitro, could ameliorate the cognitive impairment of rats with permanent occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries (2VO) and its potential mechanisms of action.
