Nursing engineering is an emerging interdisciplinary applied science that combines clinical nursing expertise with engineering innovations to enhance the quality and efficiency of health care. This field improves the design, assessment, and implementation of health care technologies by fostering collaboration between nurses and engineers. This partnership ensures that technologies align with clinical requirements and improve patient outcomes. In critical care, by addressing essential issues such as workflow enhancement, identifying customized care solutions, and implementing secure, user-centered technologies, nursing engineering will become increasingly crucial in integrating clinical practice with technological advancements.

Introduction: Pedestrian safety has become a critical concern with the rising global population of older adults. Older pedestrians face higher crash risks due to age-related physical limitations, yet road infrastructure often fails to address their specific needs. Most studies treat older adults as a single group, overlooking variations in mobility and behavior.

Background And Purpose: Several studies have shown changes in neurochemicals within the deep-brain nuclei of patients with psychosis. These alterations indicate a dysfunction in dopamine within subcortical regions affected by fluctuations in iron concentrations. Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is a method employed to measure iron concentration, offering a potential means to identify dopamine dysfunction in these subcortical areas.

Background: Over the past decade, the proportion of the world's population aged ≥65 years has grown exponentially, presenting significant challenges, such as social isolation and loneliness among this population. Assistive technologies have shown potential in enhancing the quality of life for older adults by improving their physical, cognitive, and communication abilities. Research has shown that smart televisions are user-friendly and commonly used among older adults.

In this contribution, Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) is employed to investigate the (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction between ()--methyl--(2-furyl)-nitrone 1 and but-2-ynedioic acid 2. DFT calculations at the M06-2X-D3/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory under solvent-free conditions at room temperature show that this reaction proceeds CA3-Z diastereoselectivity, with the formation of the CA3-Z cycloadduct being both thermodynamically and kinetically more favoured than the CA4-Z one. Reactivity parameters obtained from CDFT calculations reveal that compound 1 predominantly behaves as a nucleophile with moderate electrophilic features, in contrast to compound 2, which demonstrates strong electrophilicity and limited nucleophilic ability.

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are among the first pathogens to colonise in catheter and non-catheter-associated urinary tract infections. However, these infections are often polymicrobial, resulting in multi-species infections that persist by forming biofilms. Living within these highly antimicrobial tolerant communities, bacteria can establish intra- and inter-specific interactions, including quorum sensing (QS)-mediated signalling mechanisms, which play a key role in biofilm establishment and maturation.
