The Intersection of Rurality With Female Sex and Gender in Heart Failure: A Scoping Review Using the Social-Ecological Model.

Background: Despite the increasing recognition of heart failure (HF) as a critical public health issue for both rural populations and women, the intersection of rurality and female sex in HF remains underexplored.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review was to synthesize the evidence on the intersection of rurality with female sex and gender in HF, examining how individual, interpersonal, organizational, or community factors influence the experience, management, and outcomes of HF in women.

Methods: Using the PubMed, Embase, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases, a literature search was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews.

Nurse practitioner education: Uniting the 2021 essentials with The Core Competencies on Disability Health Care Education.

People with disabilities (PWD) are the largest minority group in the world, making up 16% of the world's population, an estimated 1.3 billion people. People with disabilities die earlier, have poorer health outcomes, and are more affected by emergencies and natural disasters.

Nurses' Perspectives on the Dismissal of Vaccine-Refusing Families From Pediatric and Family Care Practices.

Purpose: Dismissal of families who refuse mandated childhood vaccines from pediatric practices has become more common among US pediatricians over the past 2 decades. While nurses (registered nurses [RNs] and advanced practice registered nurses [APRNs]) often are the first health-care professional to encounter parents' vaccine hesitancy and serve as a primary source of information, there are no published data on nurses' perspectives on dismissal as a response to vaccine refusal. This study examined nurses' perspectives on dismissal of vaccine-refusing families from primary care practices.

Life, God, and Help: Resources for Women Who Are Working and Poor.

Women who work, yet remain poor and uninsured, struggle to live with limited resources. This phenomenological study interviewed 57 such women, hearing how they turned to God or other help to accomplish the major theme of life, with additional themes of God and help. Findings can guide nurses caring for these women to validate the importance of nonmonetary resources and assist in obtaining essential community resources to meet their needs.

Phosphorylation of eIF4E serine 209 is associated with tumour progression and reduced survival in malignant melanoma.

Background: Melanoma is a disease that primarily arises in the skin but is a derivative of the neural crest. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) regulates translation of multiple malignancy-associated mRNAs and is overexpressed in many epithelial tumours. However, expression in human tumours derived from the neural crest is unknown.
