Background:
Nursing education dynamics have changed over time and currently demand novel approaches to befit the current intricacies of contemporary healthcare systems. Mixed Reality technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), provide for an experiential learning immersion and may contribute toward the proper delivery of nursing education.
Objectives:
To evaluate the effect of MR technologies on nursing education concerning knowledge acquisition and skill development and student satisfaction in terms of traditional training methods.
Methods:
A systematic literature review of peer-reviewed empirical studies published within the last ten years was carried out by using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were screened up to February 2024. Included studies involved nursing students or professionals in educational settings utilizing MR technologies compared to traditional methods.
Results:
The search identified 91 studies and we concluded in eight studies that met the inclusion criteria. Overall, the use of MR technologies can enhance learning and clinical skills and student satisfaction. Although, the areas for further investigation are long-term retention of the skill and cost-effectiveness of MR implementation.
Conclusion:
These MR technologies hold promise for transforming nursing education by providing realistic, immersive learning environments. While these offers great potential, detailed consideration with further research is required to address implementation challenges and optimize their use within nursing curricula.

01:18Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
