Abstract
Introduction The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of extant research regarding XR technology and its effect on consumer wellbeing. With the hopes of informing marketing practitioners on XR consumer psychology, in preparation for the Metaverse. Methods To achieve the above aim, two types of analysis took place. Firstly, a bibliometric analysis was conducted which was then followed by a framework-based structured literature review. The latter entailed an analysis of 81 articles evaluated from a positive psychological approach. Findings Following the TCCM framework, the analysis revealed the most common psychological theories demonstrating potential avenues for XR to impact consumer wellbeing. Moreover, researchers found preliminary links between, theory, characteristics, and contexts. Giving a preliminary description of how theory manifests into reality. Finally, the overview of extant literature was used to propose new avenues for future research pertaining to marketing, the Metaverse, and consumer effects. Conclusion In conclusion, the paper provides stakeholder insights which can ensure minimal consumer risk and sustainable use of the XR technology and Metaverse. While addressing the need for more research that uncovers the psychological effects of emerging technologies, so to prepare for the Metaverse. This is especially important when considering the current upsurge of these technologies and the uncertainties associated with their novelty and the idea of an 'always on' consumer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In order to improve nursing quality management and protect patient medical safety, it is necessary to change the default mode and completely integrate information technology and nursing quality control utilising lean management. METHODS A database was created, the nurse quality control scoring standard was entered into the computer and after the inspection, and various inspection reports were entered into the computer to precisely and promptly preserve data. The computer was then utilised to precisely assess the intensity and quality of nursing work, compute, count, and analyse the stored data, output the quality of nursing work in each department as a report, and adopt lean management for the gathered issues. RESULTS To reach the objective of raising nursing quality, data analysis makes it simple to identify flaws and consistently strengthen the weak points. In order to create an information-based nursing quality control system with a simple and effective method as well as results that are scientific and objective, lean management is brought into the construction process.

Topical Cellular/Tissue and Molecular Aspects Regarding Nonpharmacological Interventions in Alzheimer's Disease-A Systematic Review. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16533.

Abstract
One of the most complex and challenging developments at the beginning of the third millennium is the alarming increase in demographic aging, mainly-but not exclusively-affecting developed countries. This reality results in one of the harsh medical, social, and economic consequences: the continuously increasing number of people with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), which accounts for up to 80% of all such types of pathology. Its large and progressive disabling potential, which eventually leads to death, therefore represents an important public health matter, especially because there is no known cure for this disease. Consequently, periodic reappraisals of different therapeutic possibilities are necessary. For this purpose, we conducted this systematic literature review investigating nonpharmacological interventions for AD, including their currently known cellular and molecular action bases. This endeavor was based on the PRISMA method, by which we selected 116 eligible articles published during the last year. Because of the unfortunate lack of effective treatments for AD, it is necessary to enhance efforts toward identifying and improving various therapeutic and rehabilitative approaches, as well as related prophylactic measures.

Abstract
To reduce the burden caused by an increased elderly population and to provide efficient service resources, scholars worldwide have proposed and applied smart elderly care. This paper summarizes the hotspots of the existing literature and explores the research frontiers to ignite future research. CiteSpace software was used to conduct a scientometric analysis of high-quality literature collected from both the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and the Web of Science (WOS). Based on the results of the basic situation description, this article highlights six research hotspots in CNKI and 11 research themes in WOS. In addition, it offers three major evolution stages and three future research directions for smart elderly care research. This paper provides a holistic overview of the smart elderly care literature from two major global databases. The results will contribute to healthcare policy designers, practitioners, and developers by giving them comprehensive knowledge and generating strategies to enhance elderly people's quality of life.
