Metallic copper alloys have gained attention recently as a cutting-edge antibacterial weapon for areas where surface hygiene is crucial. The present study aimed to assess copper coupons (99% Cu) for their potential to decrease the viability of various Enterobacteriaceae strains from inanimate hospital surfaces. ⋯ These results suggest that prolonged copper usage may contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance, which could have significant ramifications.

To prove that the "sports rehabilitation bed" is a device aimed at improving the precision of stretching, which can help to reduce the difficulty of rehabilitation therapy, cut down the manpower input of rehabilitation therapy, and shorten the therapy duration as well. ⋯ Sports rehabilitation therapy beds can results in the advantages of effectively preventing iatrogenic injury in the process of stretching, and providing a more accurate and convenient stretching therapy method than the current commonly used bare-handed stretching for sports rehabilitation and intervention.

To screen BRCA1 gene variants and predict potential role of the identified variants in breast cancer. ⋯ Two novel variants were predicted to be pathogenic. In-silico analysis predicted the loss of miRNA binding site along with change in mRNA secondary structure plus stability, possible mechanisms for oncogenesis. Further, expressional studies are required to confirm BRCA1 gene dysregulation in breast cancer due to these variants.

To study the effect of informing patients with video before cardiac surgery on intensive care experience. ⋯ It was found that informing patients with video about the intensive care setting and process before cardiac surgery had a positive effect on the intensive care experience. Note: The study was produced from a master's thesis and was not presented. All participants gave informed consent for the study, and that their anonymity was preserved.Trial Registration NO.: NCT05255887.
