Nurse‐Led Interventions to Mitigate High‐Alert Medication Errors in Critical Care: A Systematic Review of Effectiveness and Implementation Strategies

BACKGROUND: Intensive care units (ICUs) are high-risk environments where nurses administer the majority of high-alert medications, making them the final checkpoint in the medication-use process. However, evidence on nurse-led interventions specifically targeting high-alert medica...

Venom-derived and natural analgesic peptides: From venomics-based discovery to computational design and therapeutic development

Pain is a complex physiological process and an important clinical issue due to thelimitations of the existing analgesics. Side effects, tolerance anddependence, and limited efficacy for the treatment of chronic pain are common complications of classic drugs, e.g., opioids and non...

Possible role of bacterial infection in embryo implantation failure

Embryo implantation is a critical and complex process that requires coordination between the embryo and the receptive endometrium for its success. However, a multitude of factors have the potential to contribute to implantation failure. Among these factors, bacterial infections i...

Association between seafood consumption during pregnancy and the risk of adverse birth outcomes, including low birth weight, macrosomia, and preterm birth: a retrospective birth cohort study in Iran

Proper nutrition during pregnancy plays a crucial role in maternal and neonatal health. One of the important dietary components due to its rich content of omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients is seafood. However, the precise relationship between seafood consumption a...

Circular RNAs as regulators of epithelial‑mesenchymal transition in gliomas from molecular mechanisms to clinical applications

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental biological process that drives glioma invasion, therapeutic resistance, and malignant progression. Recent evidence highlights circular RNAs (circRNAs) as pivotal post-transcriptional regulators that orchestrate EMT through...
