Unlabelled: . Measuring nurses' attitudes to family care: a longitudinal mixed method study.

Introduction: In a scenario of demographic changes with an ageing population and an increase in people with chronic illnesses, the family assumes a central role in the care of their family member.

: Visualizing Microbiome Time Series Data in R.

Despite playing a key role in the health of their hosts, host-associated microbial communities demonstrate considerable variation over time. These communities comprise thousands of temporally dynamic taxa, which makes visualizing microbial time series data challenging. As such, a method to visualize both the proportional and absolute change in the relative abundance of multiple taxa across multiple subjects over time is needed.

Alkaline Urine in the Emergency Department Predicts Nitrofurantoin Resistance.

Background: The Proteeae group (i.e., Proteus species, Morganella morganii, and Providencia species) frequently causes urinary tract infections (UTIs) and is generally resistant to nitrofurantoin.

Characterization and ex vivo expansion of rare in situ cytokine secreting T cell populations from tumor tissue and blood of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients.

Rare subpopulations of tumor antigen-reactive memory T cells, which actively secrete type-1 effector cytokines, particularly TNF-α in situ, possess anti-tumor activity and prognostic relevance. These cells are relevant for cancer immunotherapy; however, their low frequencies make them difficult to study and novel protocols for their culture and expansion ex vivo are needed. Here, we studied the presence of T cells secreting type-1 cytokines (CyT cells) in the blood and tumors of 24 patients with oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) and explored possibilities for their isolation and expansion.
