Patient-Centred Communication as a Mediator of Nurses' Safety-Care Activities.

Background: Enhancing patient safety involves identifying key factors and applying preventive strategies. While clinical competency, professional values and safety culture are recognised as important, the mediating role of patient-centred communication in promoting safety-care activities remains underexplored.

Aim: This study aimed to identify factors influencing safety-care activities among hospital nurses, with patient-centred communication competency as a mediator.

Surface-Dominant Fluorinated Structures in Sn-Based Perovskite Solar Cells.

The incorporation of two-dimensional (2D) structures into Sn-based perovskites has been confirmed to effectively improve both efficiency and stability. While the use of fluorinated organic materials is known to improve device performance, a detailed understanding of their mechanisms has remained elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that incorporating a trifluoromethyl-substituted organic halide material (F-BAI) directly into the perovskite precursor without additional surface treatment results in predominant surface localization and acts as surface passivation.

Synergistic Buried Interface Regulation of Tin-Lead Perovskite Solar Cells via Co-Self-Assembled Monolayers.

Tin-lead (Sn-Pb) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) hold considerable potential for achieving efficiencies near the Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) limit. Notably, the inverted structure stands as the preferred fabrication method for the most efficient Sn-Pb PSCs. In this regard, it is imperative to implement a strategic customization of the hole selective layer to facilitate carrier extraction and refine the quality of perovskite films, which requires effective hole selectivity and favorable interactions with Sn-Pb perovskites.

Enhancing Performance and Stability of Sn-Pb Perovskite Solar Cells with Oriented Phenyl-C-Butyric Acid Methyl Ester Layer via High-Temperature Annealing.

Phenyl-C-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) can be used as a passivation material in perovskite solar cells (PeSCs) in order to reduce the trap site of the perovskite. Here, we show that a thick PCBM layer can form a smoother surface on the SnO substrate, improving the grain size and reducing the microstrain of the perovskite. High-temperature annealing treatment of PCBM layer not only increases its solvent resistance to perovskite precursor or antisolvent, but also enhances its molecular alignment, resulting in improved conductivity as an electron transport layer.

Impact of Complete or Incomplete Revascularization for Left Main Coronary Disease: The Extended PRECOMBAT Study.

Background: Whether complete revascularization (CR) or incomplete revascularization (IR) may affect long-term outcomes after PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease is unclear.

Objectives: The authors sought to assess the impact of CR or IR on 10-year outcomes after PCI or CABG for LMCA disease.

Methods: In the PRECOMBAT (Premier of Randomized Comparison of Bypass Surgery versus Angioplasty Using Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in Patients with Left Main Coronary Artery Disease) 10-year extended study, the authors evaluated the effect of PCI and CABG on long-term outcomes according to completeness of revascularization.

High-throughput discovery of plastid genes causing albino phenotypes in ornamental chimeric plants.

Chimeric plants composed of green and albino tissues have great ornamental value. To unveil the functional genes responsible for albino phenotypes in chimeric plants, we inspected the complete plastid genomes (plastomes) in green and albino leaf tissues from 23 ornamental chimeric plants belonging to 20 species, including monocots, dicots, and gymnosperms. In nine chimeric plants, plastomes were identical between green and albino tissues.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of a medicinal herb (Asparagaceae).

is herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Asparagaceae family and widely used both as ornamental plant and herbal medicine. The complete chloroplast genome of was 156,754 bp in length, which was composed of four distinct parts; a large single copy (LSC) of 85,118 bp, a small single copy (SSC) of 18,680 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 26,478 bp. A total of 130 genes including 83 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes were identified.

A case of galactorrhea associated with excitalopram.

Escitalopram is one of the most popular selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in current use as a first-line treatment for depression. Escitalopram is well-tolerated and rarely associated with serious side effects. Endocrine and reproductive side effects of serotonergic antidepressants are uncommon and galactorrhea is very rarely mentioned among SSRI-related side effects.
