Background: Nurses play a pivotal role in the provision of health care for children across Africa. With limited pediatric nursing content in undergraduate nursing programs and few available pediatric postgraduate nursing programs, there is a need for additional continuing professional development opportunities to prepare nurses with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to care for children.
Method: To address this need, and mindful of the unique profile of potential participants, the Children's Nursing Development Unit at the University of Cape Town developed a suite of asynchronous short online courses.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates laccate fungi in Finland, focusing on identifying species with similar appearances that may actually represent different species.
- Sequencing DNA from Finnish samples and an older UK isolate, researchers conducted a phylogenetic analysis, revealing the UK isolate does not align closely with any established clades, while Finnish isolates showed a relationship to a specific lineage.
- Findings indicate that a phylogenetically related species may be present in Finland, but further research is required to clarify relationships between these fungi and their European counterparts.
Article Synopsis
- - South Africa is a malaria-endemic country with three provinces where the spread of malaria is linked to specific mosquito vectors, making vector control critical for elimination efforts.
- - The Ehlanzeni district in Mpumalanga has been monitored for malaria vectors, particularly the Anopheles gambiae complex, and comprehensive data has been gathered from 2009 to 2021 but has not been analyzed until now.
- - The study found that An. merus and An. arabiensis are the most common species, with different collection methods yielding varying results; however, vector abundance showed no significant link to annual climatic changes, pointing to potential data collection limitations.
Background: Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) due to suspected hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), referred to as NESHIE, is a clinical diagnosis in late preterm and term newborns. It occurs as a result of impaired cerebral blood flow and oxygen delivery during the peripartum period and is used until other causes of NE have been discounted and HIE is confirmed. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the only evidence-based and clinically approved treatment modality for HIE.

We recently characterised the diversity of in healthy tissues of three tree species in the , namely , and . Here we ask how that diversity compares with the diversity associated with dieback on those tree species.
