Article Abstract
Introduction: The COVID-19 situation is placing nurses under great stress which may negatively influence their health.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between occupational stress and general health of critical care nurses during COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample of 150 Jordanian critical care nurses completed the study.
Results: Occupational stress was a significant predictor of nurses' general health. Female gender, young, living with elderly or persons having chronic diseases, and little nursing experience were associated with worse general health, while living with elderly or persons having chronic diseases were associated with more occupational stress.
Conclusion: Providing psychological support services for critical care nurses is required to reduce the impact of occupational stress on nurses' poor general health.

SIRT1 as a potential target for age-related eye diseases: mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.
Hum Cell
September 2025
Eye Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China.
Age-related eye diseases (AREDs) are the leading cause of visual impairment in the elderly, affecting the structure of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye, significantly reducing the quality of life of patients, and even leading to irreversible blindness. Typical AREDs include age-related cataract (ARC), dry eye disease (DED), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy (DR), the global prevalence of which continues to rise, becoming a serious public health concern. SIRT1 is an NAD + dependent deacetylase, which plays an important physiological regulatory role in ocular tissues, mainly affecting gene expression and various cellular processes by regulating the acetylation status of substrate proteins.

Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, Kingston Health Sciences Centre and Queen's University, Kingston, Canada.
Background: There is limited high-quality evidence to guide plasma transfusion, and plasma transfusion practices remain variable.
Study Design And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study that included adult medical and intensive care unit (ICU) inpatients (age ≥ 18 years) admitted to 23 hospitals in Canada between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2022, when both whole blood derived (~290 mL) and apheresis plasma (~250 mL) were available for transfusion. Nine additional hospital sites with missing plasma data or coagulation testing were excluded.
Artificial Intelligence Automation of Echocardiographic Measurements.

Department of Cardiology, Smidt Heart Institute, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA; Department of Cardiology, Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center, Santa Clara, California, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Accurate measurement of echocardiographic parameters is crucial for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and tracking of change over time; however, manual assessment requires time-consuming effort and can be imprecise. Artificial intelligence has the potential to reduce clinician burden by automating the time-intensive task of comprehensive measurement of echocardiographic parameters.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate open-sourced deep learning semantic segmentation models for the automated measurement of 18 anatomic and Doppler measurements in echocardiography.
Physical Activity and Exercise Patterns of Submariners in Land and Sea Environments.
Mil Med
September 2025
School of Medical and Health Sciences, Edith Cowan University, Joondalup, WA 6027, Australia.
Introduction: Submarine environments pose unique challenges to maintaining physical activity and exercise routines due to confined spaces, demanding schedules, and limited resources. This study investigated submariners' physical activity patterns, sleep quality, and perceived exercise barriers in both land- and sea-based settings, with the goal of informing targeted health interventions.
Materials And Methods: Ethics approval was granted by the Defence Science and Technology Group and Edith Cowan University review panels.
