Entrustment–supervision progression across core entrustable professional activities in undergraduate nursing clinical rotations: a prospective longitudinal study

Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) operationalize competency-based education by linking assessment to observable clinical tasks and supervision decisions. Although EPAs are widely implemented in postgraduate and advanced nursing education, quantitative evidence describing...

Same-day EHR-coded sevoflurane versus propofol exposure and long-term coded dementia in older surgical adults: a propensity-matched cohort study

Whether perioperative EHR records of sevoflurane and propofol identify clinically meaningful differences in long-term dementia risk is uncertain. We compared same-day EHR-coded sevoflurane versus propofol exposure in relation to subsequent coded dementia among older adults underg...

Flexible MultimodalNeural Probe with Integrated Three-ElectrodeAptameric Sensing for In Vivo Monitoring of DopamineDynamics and Neural Activity

Abstract Neural function emerges from the interplay between electrical activity and neurochemical signaling, yet most implantable neural interfaces primarily record electrophysiological signals and lack molecular specificity for neurotransmitter monitoring. Here, we developed a f...

Diabetes mellitus and risk of injury requiring medical care: a nationwide population-based matched cohort study in Taiwan

Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with multiple microvascular and macrovascular complications; however, its association with clinically significant injury requiring medical care remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to investigate the associatio...
