Background: Mental health care (MHC) is under pressure due to increased demands and limited capacity, resulting in long waiting lists. To improve accessibility, Mental Health Centers (MCs) were established in Central and West-Brabant starting in 2021, with the exploratory meeting (EM) as the first step.
Aim: To gain insight into citizens’ experiences with the EM, the flow to appropriate care, and contribution of action research to this process.
Objectives: This study investigates the differences in treatment perspectives of prison guards and mental health practitioners within a Psychiatric Prison Unit (PPU).
Methods: This qualitative study uses questionnaires and focus groups to explore the relationships between prison guards ( = 4) and mental health professionals ( = 6) working at the Psychiatric Prison Unit in Zwolle, the Netherlands. Two questionnaires (the Recovery Attitude Questionnaire and the Recovery Knowledge Inventory) were completed by the participants.
Klebsiella pneumoniae causes community- and healthcare-associated infections in children and adults. Globally in 2019, an estimated 1.27 million (95% Uncertainty Interval [UI]: 0.

In recent years, this ongoing unmet need has encouraged more research groups to focus on the discovery and development of nontraditional antibacterial agents, ranging from anti-virulence strategies to bacteriophage and ways to modulate the microbiome. The Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator (CARB-X) is a global nonprofit public-private partnership dedicated to accelerating antibacterial-related research.

Here we performed a structure-based design of inhibitors of tRNA-(NG37) methyltransferase, TrmD, which is an essential enzyme in many bacterial pathogens. On the basis of crystal structures of TrmDs from and , we synthesized a series of thienopyrimidinone derivatives with nanomolar potency against TrmD in vitro and discovered a novel active site conformational change triggered by inhibitor binding.
