High fidelity simulation (HFS) has emerged as a crucial tool in healthcare education due to its ability to facilitate the implementation of realistic clinical scenarios. Proficiency in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is imperative for nursing professionals. This study aims to explore previous literature that investigates the effects of HFS on the acquisition and retention of CPR knowledge and skills, comparing two teaching methods: (1) traditional CPR lecture accompanied by static manikin training, and (2) CPR lecture combined with high fidelity simulation training. Although high fidelity simulators have been widely utilized in various aspects of clinical nursing, their impact on the acquisition and retention of CPR knowledge and skills in nursing education remains understudied. To bridge this research gap, this study seeks to assess the effectiveness of traditional training program and high-fidelity simulation training program in enhancing the acquisition and retention of CPR knowledge and skills among nursing students. The findings of this study will contribute to the expanding body of literature on the efficacy of HFS in nursing education, offering evidence-based recommendations for the integration of HFS into CPR training programs. Ultimately, this research aims to enhance the quality of CPR education and ensure that nursing students develop the necessary competence in this vital clinical skill.

Published: June 2023

Despite the concerted commitment of numerous government entities to a transparent, efficient and cost-effective procurement process since the passage of the PPA in 2007, the National Council on Public Procurement, created by the PPA in 2007, has not yet been constituted. The objective of this study was to examine how the government's failure to establish the National Council on Public Procurement (NCPP) affected the due process mechanism and the public procurement system. This investigation employed a survey methodology. The study was conducted in the South-East geopolitical zone of Nigeria. The population for the study was, 205 contractors engaged in the Federal Government's minor works procurement process within the South East Zone since the enactment of the PPA. A sample of 117 contractors was drawn using both the purposive/judgmental and random sampling methods. Data gathering sources included both primary and secondary sources. The primary data collection instrument was a structured questionnaire with both closed- and open-ended questions, while books, journals, and other papers served as secondary data sources. Data analysis utilized descriptive and inferential statistics in particular. Ironically, the results demonstrated that the government's unwillingness to establish the NCPP in compliance with the articles of the PPA (2007) had no adverse effect on the public procurement system.

Distribution of the 23-bp polymorphism of the prion protein gene in Jersey cattles in Turkey
Authors: USTAOGLU Melih Sercan , YIGIT Serbulent , Kaya Muhammed Taha
Published: June 2023

Background: Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a prion disease that is always fatal in cattle and is considered an important risk factor for human health. Genetic polymorphisms that alter prion proteins may be associated with susceptibility or resistance to infectious spongiform encephalopathy. Therefore, we investigated the distribution of the 23 bp indel variant in the prion protein (PRNP) gene in Jersey cattle in Turkey.
Methods: A total of 95 unrelated Jersey cattle (79 of reproductive age and 16 of non-reproductive age) from a private farm in Izmir were included in the study. Genomic DNA was obtained from the milk of reproductive-age cattle and the saliva of non-reproductive-age cattle. A 23-bp indel polymorphism in the PRNP gene promoter region was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis.
Results: The three genotypes of the PRNP 23-bp indel variant were classified as follows: (223 bp), I/D (both 223 and 200 bp fragments), and D/D (200 bp). The frequencies of the I/I, I/D, and D/D genotypes of the PRNP 23-bp indel variant in cattle were 22 (23.16%), 48 (50.53%), and 25 (26.32%). We then examined genotype and allele distribution according to service period. No significant difference was detected in terms of PRNP gene 23 bp-indel variant genotype and allele distribution in the groups created according to the service period (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Although the PRNP gene 23 bp-indel variant genotype and allele distribution in jersey-type cattle in Turkey did not differ according to service period,  our results may benefit the understanding of the genetic characteristics of the PRNP gene in cattle breeds.

Oxadiazoles are an interesting class of five-membered heterocyclic compounds containing two atoms of nitrogen and one atom of oxygen [1]. Their lipophilicity is a key property that affects a drug's ability to arrive at the focus by trans-membrane diffusion, and their action against benign tuberculosis by inhibiting lipid biosynthesis is highly promising. This review was emphasized on the synthesis of different oxadiazoles with scheme. For the same, a detailed literature survey was done. Antimicrobial, anticonvulsant, antiepileptic, antiallergic, anticancer, anti-tubercular, and insecticidal actions are just few of the many biological effects shown by 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. The Green Chemistry Program was launched in 1991 by the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Science Foundation. A joint effort between J.C. To lessen or do away with chemical dangers and environmental degradation, Warner has developed twelve key principles of green chemistry. It is necessary to create new medications for the treatment of pain and inflammation without the frequent adverse effects of NSAIDs (gas, bloating, heartburn, ulcer, stomach discomfort). In conclusion, the oxadiazole derivatives are more effective than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in treating pain and inflammation-induced arthritis. The compounds of 1,3,4-oxadiazole were synthesized using microwave assistance technique.

Crowdfunding is a way to help founders with small donations. Crowdfunding allows individuals to invest in a startup through an intermediary such as a broker. The problem with the website right now is that it has no donation policy and has no control over the money donated. This article aims to promote financial aid using blockchain technology. This allows us to offer a safe, secure and transparent way to the masses. The purpose of this article is to provide interactive information to create, donate, and seek approval from developers, and donors can easily create and fund events. Donors can track the money sent to them. Blockchain will record all transactions and store them as a block. Crowdfunding is not a charity, and failure has costs and risks. The role of blockchain removes the risks of traditional fundraising. Decentralized crowdfunding allows us to eliminate all risks faced by the crowd

Introduction

In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different doses of tigecycline in the treatment of VAP caused by multi-resistant bacteria.

Material and methods

To identify relevant studies, we conducted a comprehensive search of multiple databases including theThrough Cochrane libraryLibrary, Embase, PubMed, Chinese biomedical literature database, CNKI, Chinese JP, and WP, covering the period up to the database until December 2022. We assessed the quality of the included studies using the Jadad quality score, and performed a meta-analysis of the data using Stata software.

Results

There was no clinical heterogeneity or statistical heterogeneity between studies, and a fixed-effect model was used to incorporate the effect size. The incidence of adverse effects in the observed group was not different from that of the control group. The clinical effect of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group . Meta-analysis of the adverse effects showed that there was no clinical heterogeneity or statistical heterogeneity between studies, and a fixed-effect model was used to incorporate the effect size. The incidence of adverse effects in the observed group was not different fromsimilar to that of the control group.The included articles were tested for publication bias using funnel plot and Egger's test, and none of the four articles had adverse effects as effect indicators.

Conclusions

High-dose duration of tigecycline treatment for ventilator-related pneumonia caused by multi-resistant bacteria has is associated with improved better clinical efficacy with noout an increase in adverse effectsand high safety.
