Background: Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander midwives are underrepresented within the midwifery workforce and is likely compounded by lower graduate rates. This review is a part of the Midwifery Futures Project. It explores the experiences of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander midwives and midwifery students to illuminate issues impacting work and study and uncover successful strategies towards addressing current disparities.

Our objective was to examine the effect of NH decreases in antipsychotic use on outcomes for residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Design: Observational nationwide study that emulated a series of cluster randomized trials.
Background: Remote blood pressure (BP) monitoring (RBPM) or BP telemonitoring is beneficial in hypertension management. People with hypertension involved in telemonitoring of BP often have better BP control than those in usual care. However, most reports on RBPM are from intervention studies.

- The study examines how a certain type of microbe, when exposed to periods of darkness, can develop tolerance through co-cultivation with a heterotrophic microbe.
- Results show that the dark-tolerant microbes became larger, had less chlorophyll, and shifted from photosynthesis to respiration, while the heterotroph adapted by using more organic acids instead of sugars.
- The research highlights the enhanced metabolic exchange between the two microbes, indicating a strong coupling that helps them survive in low-light conditions.
Medication therapy problems (MTPs) are common among older adults and are associated with considerable morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The Medicare Part D Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program, which includes Comprehensive Medication Reviews (CMRs), Targeted Medication Reviews (TMRs), and guidance on safe medication disposal, is designed to optimize therapeutic outcomes and reduce adverse events by addressing MTPs. Although this program has demonstrated success in reducing MTPs, its utilization remains low, with ongoing concerns about service access disparities, patient satisfaction, and long-term health outcomes.
