[Continuity of care and the power of narrative in perinatal psychotrauma].

With the help of clinical vignettes, the authors present their approach to maternity care for exiled pregnant women at risk of psychotrauma. They emphasize the importance of co-constructing a life story to bridge discontinuities, and of working as a team with continuity to avoid further breakdowns. At stake is the birth of a baby, which may suffer from psychotraumatic sharing without adequate support.

Organ injury accelerates stem cell differentiation by modulating a fate-transducing lateral inhibition circuit.

Injured epithelial organs must rapidly replace damaged cells to restore barrier integrity and physiological function. In response, injury-born stem cell progeny differentiate faster compared to healthy-born counterparts, yet the mechanisms that pace differentiation are unclear. Using the adult Drosophila intestine, we find that injury speeds cell differentiation by altering the lateral inhibition circuit that transduces a fate-determining Notch signal.

Pathologist assistants in a Pathology Department: perceptions of their changing role.

Objective: This study aimed to understand the dynamics of including Pathologists' Assistants in a surgical pathology department.

Methods: A qualitative ethnographic study employed covert participant observation and semi-structured interviews. Field notes and interview transcripts were descriptively analysed to identify categories.
