0% EPA + DHA. In high-ω6-fed fish, elovl2 did not vary with EPA + DHA levels, but it was positively correlated with muscle ARA, 224ω3 and DGLA. These results suggest dietary 183ω3 elongation contributed to maintaining muscle EPA + DHA levels despite a two- to threefold change in dietary proportions, while 182ω6 with 0.3% EPA + DHA increased muscle DGLA more than arachidonic acid (ARA). Positive correlations between hepatic elovl2 and fabp10a with muscle ω6ω3 and EPA + DHA + ARA, respectively, were confirmed by reanalysing data from a previous salmon trial with lower variations in dietary EPA + DHA and ω6ω3 ratios. This article is part of the theme issue 'The next horizons for lipids as 'trophic biomarkers' evidence and significance of consumer modification of dietary fatty acids'.We report the outcomes of four-corner arthrodesis for advanced wrist collapse in 50 patients (51 wrists) using a dorsal locking plate. click here At a mean follow-up of 6 years (range 4-9), pain was significantly reduced and wrist function was significantly improved compared with preoperative status. After four-corner arthrodesis, grip strength was 80% of the contralateral side, and wrist motion averaged 50° flexion-extension and 30° radioulnar deviation. Immobilization time was 5 weeks (4-6) and sick-leave was 3 months (2-5) following surgery. There were seven nonunions (14%) that underwent repeat arthrodesis. Three wrists were later converted to total arthrodesis due to persisting pain. Radiographic dorsal impingement was found in five wrists after four-corner arthrodesis and did not require reoperation. The outcomes appear not remarkably different from those reported using other fixation methods other than an apparent earlier return to activities. Level of evidence IV.Background Nursing is a process of interpersonal interaction. Objective To determine the relationship between the self-efficacy levels and caring nurse-patient interactions of nursing students. Methods The study was carried out with 198 students who agreed to participate. The data was collected by using personal information forms, the Caring Nurse-Patient Interaction Scale (CNPIS), and the Self-Efficacy-Sufficiency Scale (SES). Collected data were evaluated via descriptive statistics, independent group t-test, ANOVA, and Tukey HSD and Pearson Correlation analysis. Results CNPIS sub-dimension point averages were 309.94 ± 34.71 for importance, 278.97 ± 40.81 for competency, and 264.04 ± 46.17 for feasibility. It was determined that there are statistically significant, strong, and positive relations between all sub-dimension of the scale. It was also determined that the scale sub-dimension point averages differ in a statistically significant way on the basis of certain demographic attributes (sex and age of the students (p less then 0.05)). Furthermore, a statistically significant, positive and medium level relation was determined between the CNPIS importance and competence point averages and SES total points (rimportance 0.318, pimportance 0.000; rcompetence 0.322, pcompetence 0.000) Conclusions It was concluded that students scored high points from all sub-dimensions of the CNPIS. It was further determined that students with high levels of self-efficacy/sufficiency have higher levels of caring for nurse-patient interaction. Impact statement Adequate self-efficacy and sufficiency will be able to provide better nurse-patient interaction which based on care.Surface modification by different quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) makes nanoclays more compatible with various polymeric matrices, thereby expanding their potential applications. The growing industrial use of nanoclays could potentially pose a health risk for workers. Here, we assessed how surface modification of nanoclays modulates their pulmonary toxicity. An in vitro screening of the unmodified nanoclay Bentonite (montmorillonite) and four organomodified nanoclays (ONC); coated with various QAC, including benzalkonium chlori
