Behind the Curtain of Care. Nurses' Experiences Providing Care to Consumers With Alcohol and Other Drug Issues: A Qualitative Scoping Review.

AIM: To scope and synthesise qualitative literature relating to nurses' experiences of providing care to consumers with alcohol and other drug issues and explore how meaning is constructed in practice. DESIGN: Scoping review. METHODS: A scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O'Malley's framework. Findings were analysed using thematic analysis. DATA SOURCES: Systematic searches were conducted between September and November 2025 across Medline, Emcare, CINAHL and Google Scholar, using controlled vocabulary and keywords relevant to nurses' experiences of providing care to consumers with alcohol and other drug issues. RESULTS: Twenty-four studies from 12 countries were included. Seven themes were identified: emotional aspects of care, education, training and skills in practice, the spectrum of stigma, ethical issues in professional practice, navigating pain management, limited support, and how meaning is constructed in practice. CONCLUSION: Nurses' experiences of providing care to consumers with alcohol and other drug issues are shaped by multiple intersecting factors influencing care delivery and professional practice. Further research is needed to examine how workplace culture, language and interpersonal interactions influence healthcare experiences, and inform education, service development and support needs. REPORTING METHOD: Reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.

Dynamics of antibiotic resistance genes co-occurrence with pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria throughout wastewater treatment processes.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are recognized hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogenic bacteria. Despite advancements in treatment technologies, the persistence of ARGs and pathogenic bacteria remains a concern. In this study, we analyzed the dynamic changes in ARGs and bacterial communities throughout the treatment processes within an anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (AAO) WWTP over one week by using HT-qPCR coupled with 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The connectedness index, based on network analysis, showed that the dynamics of ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were more strongly associated with potentially pathogenic bacteria than with non-pathogenic bacteria, suggesting that ARG immigration and dissemination in the WWTP were likely driven by potentially pathogenic taxa. The AAO treatment significantly reduced ARGs in final effluent (EF) (∼64 %) and residual sludge (RS) (∼81 %); however, potential hosts of ARGs such as Comamonas testosteroni and Clostridioides difficile persisted with minimal changes in relative abundance and remained detectable in EF and RS. Notably, the abundance of ARGs was lower in RS than in EF, and source tracking analysis identified influent as the primary source of ARGs and potentially pathogenic taxa in EF, underscoring the greater health risks associated with effluent discharge.

A transcription factor-focused CRISPR screen identifies SKI as a BCL11A-independent repressor of ζ-globin.

The regulation of α-like globin genes, particularly the embryonic ζ-globin gene (HBZ), remains incompletely understood. To identify transcriptional regulators of HBZ, we establish a GFP reporter system based on the HBZ-P2A-GFP allele in erythroid cell lines and conduct a CRISPR/Cas9 screen targeting 1639 transcription factors. This screen identifies SKI as a potent HBZ repressor. Functional validation shows that SKI loss increases HBZ expression without impairing erythropoiesis, whereas SKI overexpression suppresses HBZ. Tet-on-inducible SKI overexpression and auxin-inducible SKI degradation indicate that SKI rapidly represses HBZ transcription. Transcriptome profiling further reveals that SKI deletion activates HBZ while minimally affecting other erythroid genes. Mechanistically, genome-wide occupancy analyses show that SKI binds the distal enhancers HS-10 and HS-40, with partial co-occupancy by BCL11A. Despite this overlap, dual knockout of SKI and BCL11A synergistically increases HBZ expression, as does base editing of the SKI-binding site within HS-10. We also identify a naturally occurring variant (chr16:193207G>A) within this enhancer in α-thalassemia patients with elevated ζ-globin levels. Together, these findings establish SKI as a direct, BCL11A-independent transcriptional repressor of ζ-globin. This work advances our understanding of globin gene regulation and suggests targeted ζ-globin reactivation as a potential therapeutic strategy for α-thalassemia.

Navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for post-stroke recovery: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a subcategory of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), used to modulate brain plasticity and improve post-stroke recovery. Neuronavigation is used to improve the accuracy of stimulation with the aim of achieving a superior clinical outcome than with conventional targeting. The objective of this review is to evaluate the efficacy of navigated rTMS in subacute and chronic stroke patients in comparison to sham stimulation. We conducted a systematic-review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) identified from Pubmed, Scopus and Cochrane CENTRAL. Trials employing neuronavigated rTMS were included of these five types; high and low frequency rTMS, intermittent and continuous theta-burst stimulation (TBS) and Hebbian-type stimulation. 13 RCTs were included after a screening of 1900 studies. 606 patients receiving either active (n = 360) or sham stimulation (n = 246) were assessed. The pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) favored rTMS over sham SMD = 0.4 (95 %CI: 0.11-0.69), with moderate heterogeneity I2 = 55 %. Among stimulation modalities, continuous TBS showed the largest pooled effect. rTMS was also associated with significant improvements in disability-related outcomes, SMD = 0.61 (95 % CI 0.14-1.08). Navigated rTMS is associated with modest but significant improvements in motor and disability outcomes in subacute and chronic stroke. Large comparative trials are required to clarify the potential added value over conventional targeting approaches.

Blinding integrity in psychedelic research: Evidence from a comparative randomized controlled trial of psilocybin, MDMA, and methylphenidate in healthy volunteers.

Maintaining effective blinding is a major methodological challenge in psychedelic research. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of blinding integrity in 120 healthy volunteers who received either psilocybin, MDMA, or methylphenidate (active placebo) in a double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Using a multi-level assessment incorporating forced-choice substance guesses, certainty ratings, decision factors, and subjective substance effects, the analyses characterize blinding integrity and its relation to the substance experience. Results indicate that overall blinding was insufficient, with psilocybin showing the highest rates of functional unblinding, MDMA moderate levels, and methylphenidate the lowest. As an active placebo, methylphenidate provided more effective blinding for MDMA than for psilocybin. Incorporating certainty levels of substance guesses revealed a more differentiated pattern, with lower functional unblinding rates. Decision factors and subjective substance experiences were associated with phenomenological substance effects. Prior substance experiences did not influence accuracy of forced-choice substance guesses. These findings provide empirical guidance for the design and reporting of blinding procedures in psychedelic trials and underscore the value of systematic, multi-level assessment of blinding integrity.

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Receiving a Prescription for a Direct Oral Anticoagulant Among Patients with Atrial Fibrillation on Hospice Admission.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is prevalent in hospice care, but anticoagulation decisions in this population are not well understood. In this cross-sectional study, we described the prevalence and characteristics associated with direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) prescription on hospice admission. We used electronic health data from adult decedents with AF in a large, for-profit hospice chain in the United States between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019. We used multivariable logistic regression with results reported as adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Among 13,233 decedents, mean (standard deviation [SD]) age was 84.2 (9.9) years, 53.6% were female, 65.1% were White, and 56.1% were referred to hospice from a hospital. Mean (SD) CHA2DS2-VASc score were 3.8 (1.4) for males and 4.8 (1.3) for females, and mean (SD) HAS-BLED score was 2.2 (1.0). Overall, 8% of patients received a DOAC prescription on hospice admission. Characteristics associated with receiving a DOAC prescription included PPS scores of ≥ 20% (compared to scores < 20%), and receiving hospice care at home, nursing home, assisted living facility, or residential care home (compared to inpatient hospice). Further studies about the risks and benefits of DOAC use are needed to optimize decision-making in this population.

Multiscale Modeling Primer: Focus on Chromatin and Epigenetics.

A central challenge in modern biology is to understand how molecular interactions produce cellular and organismal functions across vast spatiotemporal scales. Nowhere is this challenge more apparent than in the study of chromatin, where meters of DNA compact into a micron-sized nucleus. How this polymer folds is a dynamic process, regulated by epigenetic modifications-chemical changes to DNA and histones that involve only a handful of atoms. These small changes cooperate to produce emergent, higher-order structures that define cellular identity and function. To explain this system, we must integrate static, high-resolution snapshots from techniques like cryo-EM with dynamic, lower-resolution data from microscopy and genomics. Multiscale computational models are essential tools that bridge these experimental gaps and reveal the mechanisms of emergent behavior. However, the communication divide between experimental biologists and quantitative modelers often hampers progress. This primer addresses that gap. It first introduces the fundamental biology of chromatin and epigenetics at an introductory level for non-biologists audiences. We then survey the landscape of computational approaches, from atomistic to systems-level models, and connect them to the experimental data that inform and validate them at an introductory level for non-computationalists. We argue that the next frontier will require us to build integrative models that can predict how molecular perturbations mechanistically alter cellular phenotypes, which will open a new era of chromatin-targeted therapeutics.

Left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis of echocardiographic studies published from 2011 to 2025.

AIM: An updated meta-analysis targeting the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), a cardinal marker of hypertensive heart disease (HHD), over the last 15 years is lacking. Thus, we analyzed the literature in order to provide a comprehensive information on LVH prevalence, as assessed by echocardiography, in the hypertensive setting. METHODS: The PubMed, OVID-MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library databases were analyzed to search English-language articles published from 1 January 2011 up to 31 December 2025. Studies were identified by using MeSH terms and crossing the following search items: 'left ventricular hypertrophy', 'left ventricular mass', 'hypertensive heart disease', 'echocardiography', 'hypertension', and 'subclinical cardiac damage'. RESULTS: A total of 51 studies including 74 632 hypertensive patients were considered. Overall, the prevalence of LVH in the pooled cohort, defined according to criteria recommended by echocardiographic guidelines, was 36.6% (95% CI: 33.4-40%). Data provided by 18 studies ( n  = 40 108 patients) showed that the probability of having LVH was lower in men than in women (OR = 0.62, CI: 0.48-0.80, P  < 0.0001). Among patients with LVH (17 studies), the risk of concentric LVH was almost twice as high as eccentric (OR = 1.94, CI: 1.52-2.49, P  < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis suggests that the high contemporary prevalence of LVH reflects the failure of therapeutic strategies worldwide in the prevention and treatment of HHD. From a clinical perspective, these data imply the need for a more aggressive treatment of hypertension and related cardiovascular risk factors leading to LVH, especially in women.

A profile of deaths in children at the Diepkloof Forensic Pathology Services mortuary in Gauteng, South Africa from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2020.

This retrospective study was conducted to address the scarcity of knowledge regarding unnatural child deaths in South Africa. This was done by analysing cases admitted to the Diepkloof Forensic Pathology Services mortuary between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2020. Data from FPS death registers and FPS case files were used to profile: (1) the incidence, causes and manner of death, circumstances of death, and ancillary investigations performed at autopsy; and (2) to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on trauma-related child deaths. Of 4 704 decedents, 535 (11.4%) were children, predominantly male (55.5%) and Black (94.8%). Accidental deaths were the most common manner of death (42.6%), primarily due to road traffic accidents, burns, and aspiration. Homicides accounted for 6.5% of all deaths in children, most frequently involving sharp force or gunshot injuries. Cranio-cerebral injuries predominated in trauma-related deaths. In 2020, compared to preceding years, with the implementation of the COVID-19 restrictions, there was a decrease in trauma-related child fatalities. These findings suggest that many child deaths are potentially preventable through government implementation of improved safety interventions and community education.

Tripled-Stranded Antisense Oligonucleotide for Biomarker-Activated Suppression of Essential Genes.

Conditional activation of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) is a promising strategy for selective suppression of cancer cells without affecting normal cells. In this study, we developed a tripled-stranded ASO (tsASO) that is rendered inactive through complexation with two additional oligonucleotides. The key innovation is the use of partial overlap between the parent ASO and the biomarker sequence, combined with toehold-mediated strand displacement, enabling precise conditional activation. The tsASO effectively triggered RNase H-mediated degradation of DYNC1I2 and DARS1 RNAs exclusively in the presence of the ERBB2 sequence. In cell-free systems, the tsASO demonstrated high cleavage efficiency (up to 81%), comparable to the parent ASO efficiency, with minimal background activity in the absence of the biomarker sequence, validating the concept at the molecular level. However, in cells using lipid-based transfection, the tsASO exhibited nonspecific cytotoxicity that did not correlate with biomarker presence or target gene expression. Detailed analysis showed no clear support for known sequence-driven toxicity mechanisms (CpG/TLR9, G-quadruplexes) in the nonimmune cell lines, suggesting that the primary limitation is intracellular delivery rather than the tsASO design. Future work should focus on optimizing delivery platforms to achieve controlled cellular uptake and biomarker-dependent release, unlocking the therapeutic potential of this conditional gene silencing approach.

PaNDA: Efficient Optimization of Phylogenetic Diversity in Networks.

Phylogenetic diversity (PD) plays an important role in biodiversity, conservation, and evolutionary studies by measuring the diversity of a set of taxa based on their phylogenetic relationships. In phylogenetic trees, a subset of k taxa with maximum PD can be found by a simple and efficient greedy algorithm. However, this algorithmic tractability is lost when considering phylogenetic networks, which incorporate reticulate evolutionary events such as hybridization and horizontal gene transfer. To address this challenge, we introduce PaNDA (Phylogenetic Network Diversity Algorithms), the first software package and interactive graphical user-interface for exploring, visualizing, and maximizing diversity in phylogenetic networks. PaNDA includes a novel algorithm to find a subset of k taxa with maximum diversity, running in polynomial time for networks of bounded scanwidth, a measure of tree-likeness of a network that grows slower than the well-known level measure. This algorithm considers the variant of PD on networks in which the branch lengths of all paths from the root to the selected taxa contribute towards their diversity. We demonstrate the scalability of this algorithm on simulated networks, successfully analyzing level-15 networks with up to 200 taxa in seconds. We also provide a proof-of-concept analysis using a phylogenetic network on Xiphophorus species, illustrating how the tool can support diversity studies based on real genomic data. The software is easily installable and freely available at https://github.com/nholtgrefe/panda. Additionally, we extend the definition of PD to semi-directed phylogenetic networks, which are mixed graphs increasingly used in phylogenetic analysis to model uncertainty of the root location. We prove that finding a subset of k taxa with maximum diversity remains NP-hard on semi-directed networks, but do present a polynomial-time algorithm for networks with bounded level.

Psychological skills training for sport-related outcomes: An umbrella review of evidence credibility and methodological quality.

Psychological skills training (PST) is widely used in sport, but review-level evidence remains fragmented across interventions, populations, outcomes, and methodological standards. This umbrella review synthesized evidence on PST-related interventions for sport-related outcomes, including athletic performance, psychological outcomes, cognitive performance, and sports injury, and evaluated evidence credibility, certainty, and methodological quality. A systematic literature search was conducted on 21 May 2025 in MEDLINE, PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus, SportDiscus, Web of Science, and CINAHL Complete. Overall, 61 reviews involving 42,106 participants were included; 35 meta-analyses involving 28,076 participants were eligible for quantitative synthesis, and 26 reviews or meta-analyses involving 14,030 participants were summarized qualitatively. Quantitative findings showed generally positive point estimates for mindfulness-based interventions, imagery practice, music-based interventions, neurofeedback, perceptual-cognitive training, and multiple PST interventions, but most findings were weak or non-significant and certainty was generally very low. Qualitative evidence suggested potential benefits, but conclusions varied according to intervention definition, delivery, outcome measurement, and methodological quality. Evidence was more developed for athletic performance and psychological outcomes than for cognitive performance and sports injury. Overall, PST-related interventions may benefit sport-related outcomes, but conclusions should remain cautious because of low certainty, methodological heterogeneity, and limited evidence credibility.

Mapping Wastewater Pathogens and Their Associated Environmental and Public Health Risk Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a critical tool for public health surveillance, yet its application across diverse pathogens and geographical settings remains inconsistent. This systematic review synthesizes global evidence on wastewater surveillance to identify associated risk factors. METHODS: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines (PROSPERO: CRD420261297382), a systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science for studies published between 2000 and 2025. RESULTS: Thirty-nine peer-reviewed studies were included. The evidence base is geographically skewed toward the European Region (48.7%) and the Americas (23.1%), with significant underrepresentation in LMICs. Viruses were the primary biological target (89.7%), followed by bacteria (7.7%) and parasites (2.6%). A proportion meta-analysis of 31 eligible studies demonstrated a pooled wastewater pathogen detection prevalence of 62% (95% CI: 47.5-74.6%), with the European Region yielding the highest regional estimate (73%) and the African Region the lowest (8.3%). Conventional PCR and sequencing methods showed higher pooled detection rates (92.4% and 90.1%, respectively) than RT-qPCR (47.9%). CONCLUSION: WBE provides a robust early-warning system indicating a need for broader pathogen diversity, incorporating bacterial and parasitic surveillance and expansion into rural and resource-limited regions.

AIM: To understand how Registered Nurses perceive the impact of nursing leadership on managing moral distress and mitigating burnout. BACKGROUND: Moral distress and burnout are pervasive issues in nursing, compromising well-being, patient safety and workforce sustainability. Leadership is a critical factor in shaping workplace culture and mitigating these challenges, yet evidence remains limited. DESIGN: Qualitative systematic review. METHODS: A qualitative systematic review was conducted following JBI methodology and PRISMA guidelines. Comprehensive searches across MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL and Scopus identified 5927 articles, with two studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Data were appraised using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist and synthesised via meta-aggregation. Confidence in findings was assessed using the ConQual approach. RESULTS: Four major themes emerged: (1) Behind the barriers, (2) Breaking point, (3) Weathering the storm and (4) Leadership for lasting change. Leadership influenced nurses' psychological safety, ethical decision-making and resilience. Inadequate support amplified moral distress, and effective strategies included authentic communication, team solidarity and systemic interventions. CONCLUSIONS: Leadership plays a pivotal role in mitigating moral distress and burnout. Evidence highlights the need for structural changes and support to sustain registered nurses' well-being and retention. RELATIVE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Findings offer direction for leadership strategies that promote ethical workplaces, shared decision-making and mental health supports to enhance resilience and patient care. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Strengthening leadership capability is vital for workforce sustainability, care quality and nurse retention. REPORTING METHOD: Authors have adhered to relevant EQUATOR guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study did not involve patients or the public in its design, conduct or reporting.

Cost-Effectiveness and the Economics of Genomic Testing and Molecularly Matched Therapies.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of precision oncology can help guide value-driven care. Next-generation sequencing is increasingly cost-efficient over single gene testing because diagnostic algorithms require multiple individual gene tests to determine biomarker status. Matched targeted therapy is often not cost-effective due to the high cost associated with drug treatment. However, genomic profiling can promote cost-effective care by identifying patients who are unlikely to benefit from therapy. Additional applications of genomic profiling such as universal testing for hereditary cancer syndromes and germline testing in patients with cancer may represent cost-effective approaches compared with traditional history-based diagnostic methods.

Transverse Tibial Transport for Limb Salvage in Ischemic Lower Extremity Disease: Technique, Mechanisms, and Clinical Outcomes-A Systematic Review.

Transverse tibial transport (TTT) is a surgical technique derived from Ilizarov's distraction osteogenesis principles that stimulates angiogenesis and microcirculatory regeneration in the ischemic lower limb without directly manipulating macrovascular anatomy. By creating a proximal tibial cortical bone window and distracting it transversely using an external fixator, TTT triggers converging cascades of growth factor release, endothelial progenitor cell mobilization, and immunomodulation that translate into improved distal limb perfusion and wound healing. Combined TTT plus endovascular therapy improves amputation-free survival versus endovascular therapy alone. Prospective randomized trials and standardized international protocols are needed to consolidate TTT's role in multidisciplinary limb salvage pathways.

Efficacy and Safety of the C3 Inhibitor Pegcetacoplan in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the complement C3 inhibitor pegcetacoplan in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies reporting pegcetacoplan use in PNH. Outcomes included transfusion-requirement, hemoglobin normalization, mean hemoglobin levels, lactate dehydrogenase normalization, reticulocyte count normalization, and safety endpoints. Pooled proportions with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using random-effects models, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. RESULTS: Five studies comprising 271 patients were included. Transfusion avoidance was observed in 80.6% of patients, with a pooled transfusion-requirement rate of 19.4%. LDH normalization occurred in 68.5% of patients (I2 = 0%). Hemoglobin normalization was observed in 42.9%, while reticulocyte count normalization reached 66%. Any-grade adverse events occurred in 83.5% of patients, most commonly pyrexia, headache, and dizziness. Serious adverse events occurred in 16.6%, decreasing to 12% after sensitivity analysis. Breakthrough hemolysis was reported in 14.8%, and infections in 17%. CONCLUSION: Pegcetacoplan demonstrates consistent efficacy signals across key hematologic endpoints and an acceptable safety profile, supporting its potential role as an important therapeutic option, particularly in patients with persistent extravascular hemolysis despite C5 inhibition.

Formation of environmental persistent free radicals in soil of ammunition demolition site: Roles of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and heavy metals.

Environmental Persistent Free Radicals (EPFRs) are a particular type of contaminant present in soil. This study investigated the formation process, environmental behavior, and main influencing variables of EPFRs in soils contaminated with heavy metals and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) from an ammunition demolition site. The results showed that the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC) in the soil was negatively correlated with EPFRs (r = -0.29). In contrast, the content of TNT and copper was significantly positively correlated with EPFRs (r = 0.90 and 0.78, respectively), indicating that TNT acts as a precursor macromolecule in the formation of EPFRs in this type of contaminated soil. Transition metal Cu may be an essential carrier in EPFR production. In order to explore the possible formation mechanism of EPFRs, a simulation experiment was carried out under different temperature and light conditions. The results showed that the photolysis process of TNT was impacted by external energy sources such as heat and light. TNT was firstly adsorbed onto the surface of a transition metal (Cu), and then EPFRs were formed through further electron transfer. This is the first study to detect significant levels of EPFRs in the soil at ammunition demolition sites.
