Aim: This study aims to describe medical-surgical registered nurses' experiences with safety culture.
Design: Qualitative, Inductive descriptive.
Methods: Registered nurses were recruited from a Midwestern community hospital in the United States using purposive sampling.
Aim: The aim of this study is to describe safety culture as experienced by medical-surgical nurse leaders.
Background: Safety culture remains a barrier in safer patient care. Nurse leaders play an important role in creating and supporting a safety culture.
Cellular heterogeneity is a major cause of treatment resistance in cancer. Despite recent advances in single-cell genomic and transcriptomic sequencing, it remains difficult to relate measured molecular profiles to the cellular activities underlying cancer. Here, we present an integrated experimental system that connects single cell gene expression to heterogeneous cancer cell growth, metastasis, and treatment response.

In this article, we show that EPHB4 is highly expressed in ∼30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples. In an unbiased RNA interference screen of primary leukemia samples, we found that EPHB4 drives survival in a subset of AML cases.

However, pain sensation is a complex process that consists of both sensory and affective components. It is presently unclear whether the analgesic effects of morphine between the sensory and affective components of pain are sexually dimorphic.
