Bacteria have evolved a variety of defence mechanisms to protect against mobile genetic elements, including restriction-modification systems and CRISPR-Cas. In recent years, dozens of previously unknown defence systems (DSs) have been discovered. Notably, diverse DSs often coexist within the same genome, and some co-occur at frequencies significantly higher than would be expected by chance, implying potential synergistic interactions.

Clinical reasoning is dependent on formal and experiential knowledge. Developing the ability to acquire and recall knowledge effectively for both analytical and non-analytical cognitive processing has patient safety implications.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are used in medical education in the assessment of clinical competence, but consideration of EPAs in nurse practitioner (NP) education is emerging.
Problem: There are critical points in the NP educational trajectory when a student should demonstrate requisite knowledge and abilities. It can be challenging to assess and measure clinical proficiency in a way that can be clearly interpreted by students, faculty, and preceptors.
Article Synopsis
- - Lymphedema distichiasis syndrome (LDS) is a rare genetic condition leading to lower limb swelling and unusual eyelash patterns, alongside other potential health issues like cleft palates and heart defects.
- - A study revealed that affected individuals in one family displayed severe kidney anomalies, including hydronephrosis and renal agenesis, suggesting a potential link between the FOXC2 gene mutation and kidney development issues.
- - The authors recommend that anyone diagnosed with LDS should undergo a kidney ultrasound to check for abnormalities and that prenatal ultrasounds for at-risk pregnancies should look for signs like hydronephrosis, which may indicate LDS.
Introduction: In 2003, the Institute of Medicine recommended that interprofessional education be incorporated into the training programs of health care professionals. However, many logistical challenges hinder formal interprofessional learning in health care profession programs.
Methods: This resource is a 3-hour interprofessional small-group session designed for health professions student teams to engage in a standardized patient encounter, each team member contributing a profession-specific perspective to create a collaborative care plan across five discharge decisions.
Study Objective: To identify current clinical services and training available across Europe within pediatric and adolescent gynecology (PAG) and establish the extent to which PAG services meet current European Board and College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (EBCOG) standards.
Design: Quantitative and qualitative questionnaire.
Setting: European countries that are members of the EBCOG and the European Association of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology.
