Retrospective modelling of the disease and mortality burden of the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic in Zurich, Switzerland.

Background: Our study aims to enhance future pandemic preparedness by integrating lessons from historical pandemics, focusing on the multidimensional analysis of past outbreaks. It addresses the gap in existing modelling studies by combining various pandemic parameters in a comprehensive setting. Using Zurich as a case study, we seek a deeper understanding of pandemic dynamics to inform future scenarios.

Exploring nurse educators' experiences and perceptions debriefing virtual simulations related to sexual orientation and gender identity: A qualitative study.

Background: Sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) impact health, yet healthcare providers often lack the necessary education to address the unique needs of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. The SOGI Nursing Toolkit was developed to enhance cultural humility among healthcare providers using virtual simulation experiences.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore nurse educators' experiences with debriefing virtual simulations related to the SOGI nursing toolkit within nursing education.

Incretin-responsive human pancreatic adipose tissue organoids: A functional model for fatty pancreas research.

Objective: Infiltration of adipocytes into the pancreatic parenchyma has been linked to impaired insulin secretion in individuals with increased genetic risk of T2D and prediabetic conditions. However, the study of this ectopic fat depot has been limited by the lack of suitable in vitro models.

Methods: Here, we developed a novel 3D model of functionally mature human pancreatic adipose tissue organoids by aggregating human pancreatic adipose tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells into organoids and differentiating them over 19 days.

An Evaluation of a Virtual Seminar Series for Doctor of Nursing Students to Promote Advanced Nursing Practice.

Advanced practice nurses (APNs) have been responding to worldwide changing patient comorbidities, inequalities within access to care, and a shortage of primary care physicians. The scope of practice for these nurses has been expanding internationally but varies across different jurisdictions. For a period of time during the COVID-19 pandemic, APN trainees' opportunities to work with international mentors in-person were limited.

'A void in our community': exploring the complexities of delivering and implementing primary care services for transgender individuals in Northern Ontario.

Aim: To understand how the implementation of primary care services for transgender individuals is undertaken and delivered by practitioners in Northern Ontario.

Background: Northern Ontario, Canada, has a shortage of primary care health practitioners, and of these, there are a limited number providing transgender primary care. Transgender people in Northern Ontario must also negotiate a lack of allied and specialty services related to transgender health and travel over long distances to access those services that do exist.
