Abstract Background To determine the impact of combining clinical simulation scenario training and Information Technology Integrated Instruction (ITII) on teaching nursing skills. Methods 120 4th-year students in a program who were enrolled medical surgical courses. 61 received innovative instruction (experimental group) 59 conventional (control group). The ADDIE model, systematic method course development that includes analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation,was used to...
This study aimed to explore the relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and work performance of nursing staff. cross-sectional used Checklist for Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), Nordic Questionnaire (NMQ), Work Ability Index survey prevalence MSDs, as well determine impact MSDs on 117 staff working in an emergency department, intensive care unit, general wards. The findings indicate that were exposed a workplace environment with high risk MSDs. Nursing department at particularly...
The genus Mallotus oblongifolius (MO), a member of the Euphorbia family, exhibits predominant distribution in Hainan Island and has been proven to possess diverse medicinal attributes. Research indicates that ultramicro-grinding fully exposes active ingredients oblongifolius, enhancing bioavailability efficacy, compared before. Our study investigates effects ultrafine powder (MOUP) on pigs. A total sixty-four healthy castrated pigs (ternary hybrid pigs, Duroc × Tunchang) with comparable...
In the process of driving, visual cognitive abilities and emotional intelligence (EI) play very important roles in perception of, subsequent decision about hazards sudden events surrounding environment. This study explored differences EI, performance, driving behavior across various age groups. It examined number collisions eye movements regular traffic incidents investigated relationship between behavior. A total 52 participants were recruited divided into three groups: a younger group,...
Objective: This study used a driving simulator to investigate the effect of using Bluetooth hands-free cellular phone earpiece on behavior two age groups. Methods: Forty-eight participants (24 aged 20–26 and 24 65–73) were examined assess their performance following divided-attention tasks under 2 load conditions (high low): (1) attempting maintain speed limit (2) while driving. The length call conversation (long vs. short) conversational content (complex simple) manipulated as...
Many benefits have been found in supplementing tannins or soybean isoflavones to poultry, including increased body weight gain, antioxidant activity, and better intestinal morphology. However, few studies tested the influence of dandelion supplementation on Wenchang chickens. This study investigates effects dietary with growth performance, function, health female A total 300 chickens were randomly divided into five groups, six replicates per group 10 broilers replicate. The control (Con) fed...
For more than a decade, many countries have been actively developing robotic assistive devices to assist in the rehabilitation of individuals with limb disability regain function extremities. The exoskeleton device this study has designed primarily for hemiplegic stroke patients aid extension fingers open up palm simulate effects rehabilitation. This was as an anterior-support type achieve palmar and acts bilateral upper task training. Testing results show that wearable human factor...
Road-crossing safety is an important issue in aging society. Information regarding the risk of crossing street to pedestrians with Parkinson's disease (PD) limited. To assess and predictors unsafe behaviors patients PD, we compared 31 mild-to-moderate PD 50 age/gender/education-matched controls using a battery cognitive, visual, motor tests. With simulated simple street-crossing situation, determined remaining time margin for each participant different traffic situations, including variable...
This paper introduces a gesture control system that integrates augmented reality (AR) and eye-tracking technologies for the operation of 3D-printed prosthetic arm. Within this framework, users wear AR smart glasses equipped with near-eye display modules. The recognizes user's gaze on variety everyday representations (including open palm, grip, pinch, point) shown module. Subsequently, it commands arm to emulate observed gestures. approach enhances synergy between natural arm, offering...
Magnetic Resonance images are used to identify tears in the meniscus, a debilitating condition of knee. In this paper, two-staged computerized system for diagnosing meniscus is proposed. first stage, we apply an Active Contour with Level Sets model calculate location and shape area. second 180 features, consisting textural information spatial spectral domains, were extracted from each suspected tear. Sequential floating forward selection (SFFS) was applied select relevant features. The...
This study intends to stretch the extent of successful innovation process from a novel conception not only its adoption market [10] , but also launch for profit innovation, and focus on probing into deferred results patent impacts American pharmacy industry their profitability at firm level. We find there are obvious relationships between indexes impact such as ROE EPS. Moreover, our empirical research finds is time lag 4 years ROE, 5 with consider in Pharmaceutical Industry longer than...
Purpose: The diagnosis of most rotator cuff tears (RCTs) relies upon magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, but direct capture MR images without enhanced image processing leads to poor contrast and potential misdiagnosis. Therefore, we developed a 2-stage model for the detection injury supraspinatus tendon.Methods: first stage used coupled weighted histogram separation (WHS) improve enhancement, second extracted suspicious texture, features both spatial spectral domains, sequential floating...
We explored the effect and difference between types of electronic map, paper map colored lines guide on wayfinding abilities Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients.Fifty-six normal control (NC) subjects, nineteen mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients thirty with were recruited to participate in this study.Based a virtual maze 3Dmax an interface Virtools, our results showed that worse AD group compared MCI aged participants.However, support track-up guide, had similar performance as...
In nursing education, the diversity of clinical scenarios is complex and dynamic, it a challenge for students to learn this knowledge in conventional teaching mechanisms. However, integrating information technology into can promote learning environment. This study aimed investigate effectiveness mechanisms which combined simulation scenario Information Technology Integrated Instruction. applied innovative experimental medical–surgical critical care courses their fourth or fifth year at...
In hemodialysis, vascular access is usually achieved through an arteriovenous fistula, and a dislodged needle can cause varying degrees of injury to patients. severe cases, the loss blood prove be fatal. This study proposed leakage detection device for patients during hemodialysis (HD). First, was tested on phantom arm, later in clinical test receiving HD. The thoughts nursing staff involved were surveyed before after introduction device. Analysis results indicated that 100% 98.9% accuracy...
