Background: Currently in the United States, the demand for RNs is stronger than is being supplied. This site-specific pediatric RN turnover rate was estimated at 15% per year, which is above the national average.

Methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted using the Revised Casey-Fink Nurse Retention Survey tool.

Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare cutaneous malignancy of sebaceous glands, but it is up to 25-fold more common in immunosuppressed individuals. In this narrative review, we examine the current literature on the pathogenesis, incidence, risk factors, prognosis, treatment, and surveillance of sebaceous carcinoma in immunosuppression and highlight practical considerations for providers who care for these patients. Increased incidence may be related to decreased immune surveillance, susceptibility to an unknown viral trigger, microsatellite instability, immunosuppressive medications, and unmasking of occult Muir-Torre Syndrome.

Disruption of microtubule stability in mammalian cells may lead to genotoxicity and carcinogenesis. The ability to screen for microtubule destabilization or stabilization is therefore a useful and efficient approach to aid in the design of molecules that are safe for human health. In this study, we developed a high-throughput 384-well assay combining immunocytochemistry with high-content imaging to assess microtubule disruption in the metabolically competent human liver cell line: HepaRG.
