Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of wound infections worldwide, associated with delayed healing, prolonged hospital stays, and increased treatment costs. The growing resistance of MRSA to conventional antibiotics highlights the urgent need for alternative therapies. This study evaluated the in vitro antibacterial activity of Bidens pilosa flower extracts against MRSA isolates from wound infections. A laboratory-based experimental des...

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a primary driver of global functional disability, yet its epidemiological burden within the healthcare workforce remains insufficiently characterized, particularly in resource-constrained settings like North-Eastern Nigeria. Healthcare professionals are uniquely exposed to a dual-risk profile: mechanical over-loading in clinical roles and sedentary-induced metabolic risks in administrative positions. This study examined the prevalence of OA, the “diagnos...

Telerehabilitation, a subset of digital health, offers a promising approach to overcoming access and resource barriers in rehabilitation service delivery, particularly in low- and middle-income countries such as Nigeria. Despite its potential, the adoption of telerehabilitation by rehabilitation professionals remains limited. This study examined the factors influencing the acceptance of telerehabilitation among rehabilitation professionals in Nigeria using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Us...

Risk Management in blood transfusion is a crucial process aimed at ensuring the safety and efficacy of transfusion services and processes. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic approach used for identifying and mitigating the potential failures in the process of blood transfusion. In this paper, FMEA is used to rank risks and implement corrective actions to enhance patient safety. The aim of this work is to identify the risks and their management before they can cause harm, th...

This study examines the central tenet of traditional Chinese medical nursing (TCM) that emphasizes harmony and unity with nature. It explores how TCM’s historical focus on care and nursing over disease treatment is intertwined with the philosophy of balancing qi and blood, and yin and yang. The paper discusses the significance of adhering to natural laws and adapting to environmental changes, both seasonally and daily, as a means to maintain health and prevent diseases. It also addresses the int...

Introduction: It is revealed by biomedical studies that the autonomous nervous system mediates most clinical effects of acupuncture/moxibustion. Whereas, it is advantageous for the classical meridian system to instruct acupuncture/moxibustion by classifying the various acupoints into related meridians. Purpose: It was aimed to replace the classical meridian system with the consistent classification of both autonomous nervous functions and acupoint character ...

This study compared Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Optical Motion Capture (OMC) systems in measuring peak ankle angles and Range of Motion (ROM) during Countermovement Jumps (CMJ) and Lateral Skater Jumps (LSJ). Data during these agility movements were analyzed and the ankle angles in pitch, roll, and yaw for the IMU were determined using algorithms which integrated gyroscope data, aligned it with foot flat reference, and fused it with accelerometer-derived inclination angles using a comple...

Introduction: Distal radius fractures are among the most frequent musculoskeletal injuries, accounting for over 17% of fractures treated in emergency care centers. The primary objective is to promote healing and restore the pre-injury level of functionality. Treatment generally involves two phases: initial care and definitive surgery, where volar locking plates are used to stabilize fractures, presenting a low risk of complications. Personalized rehabilitation plans are crucial in this context. ...
