Preparing to intervene in intimate partner violence: An interprofessional safety planning and assessment simulation.

The healthcare system is often the point where intimate partner violence (IPV) can be identified and where intervention strategies are initiated. Healthcare workers often operate in silos; therefore, timely and appropriate intervention depends on effective interdisciplinary communication and teamwork. Interprofessional education initiatives are one method for promoting interdisciplinary cooperation.

Interprofessional Education for Domestic Violence Safety Planning in Nursing and Social Work: A Scoping Review.

Rationale: Nurses and social workers in healthcare settings are positioned to identify abuse and contribute to improving the wellbeing of victims and their family members by screening for, providing safety education about, and reporting abuse when required by law.

Objective: The review aims to assess the current state of the simulation education for addressing the needs of domestic violence (DV) survivors to screen, assess, and intervene in DV cases in healthcare settings.

Method: A scoping review to map the peer-reviewed evidence on interprofessional education (IPE) was conducted by means of automated database search for nursing and social work students.

Pyrethroid-resistant malaria vector Anopheles gambiae restored susceptibility after pre-exposure to piperonyl-butoxide: results from country-wide insecticide resistance monitoring in Tanzania, 2023.

Background: Effective vector control interventions, notably insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are indispensable for malaria control in Tanzania and elsewhere. However, the emergence of widespread insecticide resistance threatens the efficacy of these interventions. Monitoring of insecticide resistance is, therefore, critical for the selection and assessment of the programmatic impact of insecticide-based interventions.

Advancing mitochondrial therapeutics: Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of pyrazole-based inhibitors targeting the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier.

Inhibition of mitochondrial pyruvate transport via the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) has shown beneficial effects in treating metabolic diseases, certain cancers, various forms of neurodegeneration, and hair loss. These benefits arise either from the direct inhibition of mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism or from the metabolic rewiring when pyruvate entry is inhibited. However, current MPC inhibitors are either nonspecific or possess poor pharmacokinetic properties.

Perspectives on Technology Use in the Context of Caregiving for Persons With Dementia: Qualitative Interview Study.

Background: Examining ways to support persons with dementia and their caregivers to help minimize the disease's impact on individuals, families, and society is critical. One emerging avenue for support is technology (eg, smartphones and smart homes).

Objective: Given the increasing presence of technology in caregiving, it is pertinent to appreciate whether and how technology can be most useful to a care partner's everyday life.
