Emotional intelligence evaluation tools used in allied health students: A scoping review.

Introduction: Emotional intelligence (EI) is described as the ability to recognise and understand one's own emotions and the emotions of others, and empathically manage emotional responses. While historically not emphasised in undergraduate allied health sciences training, it is increasingly considered an essential graduate trait. This scoping review synthesises existing research on EI outcomes, specifically in undergraduate allied health professions students.

Embedding an illustrator in the process of co-producing resources to enhance communication and shared decision-making for patients prescribed high-risk medication.

Objectives: To examine how embedding an illustrator in the process of co-producing resources to support shared decision-making (SDM) can enhance communication between patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs).

Methods: Three case studies were identified involving high-risk medications where the utility of effective visual communication resources is key to SDM due to the risk of information being misinterpreted leading to potential serious adverse effects. An iterative approach was adopted to the phases of co-production, where the Illustrator acted as a conduit between patients and specialist knowledge of the clinical team.

Structural effects of high laser power densities on an early bacteriorhodopsin photocycle intermediate.

Time-resolved serial crystallography at X-ray Free Electron Lasers offers the opportunity to observe ultrafast photochemical reactions at the atomic level. The technique has yielded exciting molecular insights into various biological processes including light sensing and photochemical energy conversion. However, to achieve sufficient levels of activation within an optically dense crystal, high laser power densities are often used, which has led to an ongoing debate to which extent photodamage may compromise interpretation of the results.

Personalized phosphoproteomics of skeletal muscle insulin resistance and exercise links MINDY1 to insulin action.

Type 2 diabetes is preceded by a defective insulin response, yet our knowledge of the precise mechanisms is incomplete. Here, we investigate how insulin resistance alters skeletal muscle signaling and how exercise partially counteracts this effect. We measured parallel phenotypes and phosphoproteomes of insulin-resistant (IR) and insulin-sensitive (IS) men as they responded to exercise and insulin (n = 19, 114 biopsies), quantifying over 12,000 phosphopeptides in each biopsy.
