Article Synopsis
- Malaria parasites adapt by digesting host hemoglobin to obtain essential amino acids, leading to a connection between nutrient availability and how genes are expressed.
- The study finds that certain tRNAs, which help decode amino acids that are not provided enough by hemoglobin, are underexpressed, creating a mismatch for optimal translation.
- Proliferation-related genes that rely heavily on these tRNAs can have their protein synthesis regulated during times of nutrient stress, showcasing how metabolic adaptation influences protein evolution in these parasites.
Article Synopsis
- Perioperative care demands skilled health professionals, and Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) in Anesthesia can enhance this care through expanded competencies and roles.
- A scoping review analyzed literature from the last decade to clarify the scope of practice (SOP) and prerequisites for APN Anesthesia, revealing a lack of standardization across countries.
- The review highlighted the certified registered nurse anesthetist in the U.S. as the most developed role, emphasizing their autonomy and diverse practice settings, including postoperative care and specialized medical conditions.
Background: When the workload for critical care nurses becomes too high, this can have consequences for both personal health as well as patient care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, critical care nurses were confronted with new and dynamic changes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of critical care nurses regarding the ad hoc measures taken and the perceived physical and psychological burden experienced during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Background: The German guidelines recommend that intravenous fluid therapy should not be mandatorily performed in children with short fasting times undergoing short anesthesia, but there is a lack of clinical studies including a large number of pediatric patients. Therefore, we performed a prospective non-interventional multicenter observational study to evaluate the perioperative hemodynamic and metabolic stability of children undergoing short anesthesia without intravenous fluid therapy.
Aims: The primary aim was to assess the incidence of hypotension and the secondary aim was to assess the real preoperative fasting times, the incidence of hypoglycemia and the impact on ketone bodies and acid-base balance.
The lethal malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum needs to constantly respond and adapt to changes within the human host in order to survive and transmit. One such change is composed of nutritional limitation, which is augmented with increased parasite loads and intimately linked to severe disease development. Extracellular vesicles released from infected red blood cells have been proposed as important mediators of disease pathogenesis and intercellular communication but whether important for the parasite response to nutritional availability is unknown.
