A systematic review and meta-analysis published in BMCNurs finds that virtual reality is an effective alternative for improving nurses’ competencies and their learning satisfaction. Larger studies are warranted.
As far as the authors know, this study is the first to evaluate the effectiveness of VR in nursing staff populations. There was no publication bias from the 12 studies. This work provides three outcomes of VR intervention, which are inspired by Bloom’s taxonomy. The cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains are deemed to be the pedagogic mechanism for the development of nursing competence in clinical settings [].
This study provides evidence that VR is an effective alternative for improving nurses’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects and their learning satisfaction. Furthermore, this work found that there was no significance in effect size among dependent variables did not improve study outcomes for all four outcomes. However, the possibility of heterogeneity and the risk of bias among studies cannot be ignored. Thus, the quality of evidence from this review was classified as low.
]. An evaluation of cost-effectiveness and technological feasibility is needed to guarantee the applicability of VR in settings with low resources. Further study should address the impact of VR technology on nurses’ clinical performance in real-world work settings.The supplementary materials for this study can be found in Additional file 1–5. Further inquiries should be directed to the corresponding author, and data from this study will be made available upon reasonable request.

Copper and zinc deficiency to the risk of preterm labor in pregnant women: a case-control study - BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthObjective The present study explored the relationship between maternal copper and zinc levels and preterm labor. Design The design of the present study was a case-control. Two groups were matched in terms of early-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), pregnancy and childbirth rating, education level, income, and employment status. Blood samples were taken from mothers after meeting the inclusion criteria when admitted to the maternity ward to check copper and zinc serum levels. Demographic and midwifery data were also collected using a questionnaire and patient records. The data were analyzed in SPSS26 using independent-samples T-test, chi-square, Fisher exact test, and regression analysis, and the p | 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Setting Bohloul Hospital in Gonabad, Iran. Participants The subjects were 86 pregnant women visiting the hospital in two cases (preterm delivery) and control (term delivery) groups. Results The mean serum level of zinc in the case group (preterm delivery) (44.97 ± 13.06 µg/dl) was significantly lower than the control group (term) (52.63 ± 21.51 µg/dl), and the mean serum level of copper in the case group (149.82 ± 53.13 µg/dl) was significantly lower than the control group (183.97 ± 71.40 µg/dl). Conclusion As the findings showed, copper and zinc serum levels in mothers with preterm delivery were significantly lower than mothers with term delivery, which shows the biological role of these elements in the pathogenesis of preterm delivery.

Analysis of risk factors for parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis in preterm infants: a multicenter observational study - BMC PediatricsBackground It is proposed that the development of parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) was significantly associated with preterm birth, low birth weight, infection, etc.; however, the etiology and pathogenesis of PNAC are not fully understood. Most of the studies examining PNAC-associated risk factors were single-center studies with relatively small sample sizes. Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with PNAC in preterm infants in China. Methods This is a retrospective multicenter observational study. Clinical data on the effect of multiple oil-fat emulsions (soybean oil-medium chain triglycerides-olive oil-fish oil, SMOF) in preterm infants were collected from a prospective multicenter randomized controlled study. A secondary analysis was performed in which preterm infants were divided into the PNAC group and the non-PNAC group based on the PNAC status. Results A total of 465 cases very preterm infants or very low birth weight infants were included in the study in which 81 cases were assigned to the PNAC group and 384 cases were assigned to the non-PNAC group. The PNAC group had a lower mean gestational age, lower mean birth weight, longer duration of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation, a longer duration oxygen support, and longer hospital stay (P | 0.001 for all). The PNAC group had higher respiratory distress syndrome, hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) with stage II or higher, surgically treated NEC, late-onset sepsis, metabolic bone disease, and extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) compared to the non-PNAC group (P | 0.05 for all). In contrast with the non-PNAC group, the PNAC group received a higher maximum dose of amino acids and fat emulsion, more medium/long-chain fatty emulsion, less SMOF, had a longer duration of parenteral nutrition, lower rates of breastfeeding, higher incidence of feeding intolerance (FI), more accumulated days to achieve total enteral nutritio

Optimisation of Calophyllum inophyllum seed oil nanoemulsion as a potential wound healing agent - BMC Complementary Medicine and TherapiesBackground Efficient delivery systems of Calophyllum inophyllum seed oil (CSO) in the form of nanoemulsion were optimised to enhance its stability and ensure its therapeutic efficiency as a potential agent for various biomedical applications. Method Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to determine the effects of independent variables (oil, surfactant, water percentage and homogenisation time) on physicochemical characteristics, including droplet size, polydispersity index and turbidity. Results The optimised CSO nanoemulsion (CSONE) has a 46.68 nm particle size, 0.15 Polydispersity index value and 1.16 turbidity. After 4 weeks of storage at 5 ± 1 °C and 25 ± 1 °C, the CSONE was physically stable. The optimised CSO nanoemulsion showed enhancement in cell viability and wound healing in baby hamster kidney a clone BHK-21 (BSR) cells as compared to the CSO. The wound healing property of CSONE was higher than CSO. Conclusion Thus, our in vitro wound healing results demonstrated that CSO in the nanoemulsion form can promote wound healing by enhancing the proliferation and migration of epidermal cells. Graphical Abstract The coarse emulsion of Calophyllum inophyllum seed oil nano emulsion was prepared using high shear homogeniser techniques. The optimised CSONE with the droplet size of 46.68 nm was prepared from a mixture of CSO, Tween 80, and high pure water (HPW), then used for the biological investigation. The in vitro cell monolayer scratch assay revealed that CSONE in the lowest concentration of CSO resulted in 100% wound closure after 48 hrs. The optimised CSO nanoemulsion was found to be a promising and effective approach in the treatment of wounds by boosting the proliferation and migration of epidermal cells.
