A computer-aided interactive procedure to improve nurse-training programmes.

Abstract

Nurses represent the largest single resource in terms of numbers of staff employed as well as the revenue cost within the National Health Service. As trainee nurses constitute about 30% of the nursing staff and in some cases provide more than 60% of the bedside care, the effective design of nurse training programmes must receive considerable analytic attention. A computer-aided interactive procedure is described which enables senior nursing administrators to evaluate and improve, from service point of view, a given nurse training programme.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
