Article Abstract

Introduction: Triage is an essential strategy to mitigate crowding and guarantee patients' safety in emergency departments. To improve the quality of triage in emergency departments, Nurses should be equipped with the necessary competencies. Therefore, this review aims to synthesize available evidence on the competency elements required for triage nurses in emergency departments and to identify factors that influence their competency development.

Methods And Analysis: This scoping review will be implemented following the five steps outlined by Arksey and O'Malley. We will use the PCC (population, concept, context) frameworks-Triage nurse (Population), Nursing competency (Concept), and EDs (Context)- to determine the research questions, and formulate the search terms. We will search six electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, and two Chinese databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wangfang Data). Internet resources including WorldCat, and Google Books will be also searched to ensure comprehensive coverage. Studies will be selected by two independent authors based on defined eligibly criteria, and completed in August 2025. This will be followed by data extraction, and summarizing in October 2025. Then, evidence will be synthesized using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Five-domain Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research will be used to guide our thematic analysis of barriers and facilitators to development of competency. The results will be presented in December 2025. Findings from this scoping review will be beneficial to develop the training programs to facilitate the successful transition of nurses into effective triage nurse roles in the future.

Registration: The scoping review was registered in Open Science (https://osf.io/6fcr4).

Recent Developments in Catalytic Asymmetric Aziridination.

Top Curr Chem (Cham)

Department of Organic Chemistry I, Faculty of Pharmacy and Lascaray Research Center, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Paseo de La Universidad 7, 01006, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.

Aziridines, structurally related to epoxides, are among the most challenging and fascinating heterocycles in organic chemistry due to their increasing applications in asymmetric synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. These three-membered nitrogen-containing rings serve as key intermediates in the synthesis of chiral amines, complex molecules, and pharmaceutically relevant compounds. This review provides an overview of recent progress in catalytic asymmetric aziridination, focusing on novel methodologies, an analysis of the scope and limitations of each approach, and mechanistic insights.

Background: Individuals with kidney failure experience elevated cardiovascular risk, potentially worsened by the presence of sleep disordered breathing. Despite this association, prevalence of sleep apnoea, and evidence for effective treatments are poorly understood in people with kidney failure. This review examines sleep apnoea prevalence, types of sleep apnoea, and treatment interventions in people with kidney failure receiving dialysis.

Aim: To summarize the literature on quantitative measures of physical demands in eldercare, with attention to differences between temporary and permanent workers, and to identify gaps to guide future physiological research.

Methods: We searched Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed for English and Swedish peer-reviewed studies on physical demands in eldercare. Risk of bias was assessed, and descriptive data extracted.

The multi-kingdom cancer microbiome.

Joan and Sanford I. Weill Department of Medicine, Gastroenterology and Hepatology Division, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.

Microbial influence on cancer development and therapeutic response is a growing area of cancer research. Although it is known that microorganisms can colonize certain tissues and contribute to tumour initiation, the use of deep sequencing technologies and computational pipelines has led to reports of multi-kingdom microbial communities in a growing list of cancer types. This has prompted discussions on the role and scope of microbial presence in cancer, while raising the possibility of microbiome-based diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic tools.

Ethical insights into AI-driven caries detection: a scoping review.

BDJ Open

September 2025

Operative Dentistry & Endodontics, Department of Surgery, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan.

Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly integrated into dental diagnostics, particularly for detecting carious lesions. While AI offers benefits such as improved accuracy and efficiency, its use raises important ethical concerns, including transparency, patient privacy, autonomy, diversity and accountability. This scoping review aims to identify these ethical concerns using a structured ethical framework.
