Objectives: Maximising social workers' contributions to primary care requires clarity about their scope of practice in this context. This scoping review sought to clarify what is known about social work's scope of practice in primary care settings.
Design: A scoping review design guided by the five-stage scoping review framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley and the updated JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis.
A phenanthroline-type ligand containing an annealed 1,2,4-triazine ring was used to prepare novel Ir(III) complexes 3 and 4. The complexes are non-luminescent but show luminogenic behaviour following the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction with bicyclononyne (BCN) derivatives. It was observed that the complexes react with BCN-C10 faster than the corresponding free ligands.

- The study compared two infrared thermography cameras (FLIR P640 and FLIR One®) to assess the accuracy of median nerve blocks in horses by analyzing skin temperature changes post-anesthesia.
- The FLIR P640 provided more detailed images with higher resolution, and assessors showed significant agreement in identifying nerve blocks based on skin temperature changes.
- However, the FLIR One® detected increased skin temperatures in both treated and untreated legs, suggesting it is not reliable for evaluating median nerve blocks, highlighting the need for caution and further research.
Chemical Content and Cytotoxic Activity on Various Cancer Cell Lines of Chaga () Growing on and .

Article Synopsis
- Chaga mushroom, a fungus primarily found on birch trees, has been recognized for its traditional use in cancer treatment, and this study explores its chemical makeup and effectiveness against various cancer cells.
- The research identifies key compounds in chaga extracts, such as inotodiol and betulinic acid, and evaluates their cytotoxic effects on 31 human cancer cell lines using a specific testing method.
- Results indicate that chaga extracts display moderate anticancer activity, with stronger effects from those growing on specific birch species, particularly against HepG2 and CAL-62 cancer cell lines, suggesting chaga's potential as a source of anticancer compounds.
We provide a case example of the collaborative process required to plan and implement initiatives to enhance team-based primary care, drawing on experiences of six disciplines working together to create new curricula as part of Team Primary Care. Recommendations to strengthen collaboration from our team include building capacity requires an understanding of unique disciplinary roles and understanding of unique elements of primary care; competencies have to be specifically articulated and demonstrated within a primary care context; interprofessional education within and across disciplines is needed; establishing primary care competencies would provide a common set of skills, knowledge, values, and attitudes to form a foundation in which to build the capacity of the interprofessional primary care workforce; and interprofessional collaboration is needed in implementing team-based primary care in practice and in preparing an interprofessional workforce prepared to leverage the expertise of the entire team.
