Newly qualified nurses' and midwives' experience with continuing professional development during transition: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: To explore newly qualified nurses and midwives' experience of continuing professional development (CPD) and factors associated with CPD participation during newly qualified nurses and midwives' transition, such as job satisfaction and intention to leave.

Background: Newly qualified nurses and midwives find it difficult to make the transition to their first registered post. During the transition, professional support through CPD is essential to build competence and confidence and increase job satisfaction and retention.

Cyanamide-inducible expression of homing nuclease I for selectable marker removal and promoter characterisation in .

In synthetic biology, microbial chassis including yeast are iteratively engineered with increasing complexity and scale. Wet-lab genetic engineering tools are developed and optimised to facilitate strain construction but are often incompatible with each other due to shared regulatory elements, such as the galactose-inducible () promoter in . Here, we prototyped the cyanamide-induced I expression, which triggered double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) for selectable marker removal.

Real-World Outcomes of Immunotherapy for Melanoma Brain Metastases in New Zealand.

Purpose: Melanoma brain metastases (BMs) are associated with poor survival. Combination immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA-4 are the international standard-of-care treatment. Most landmark clinical trials excluded real-world patients with symptomatic disease, poor performance status (PS), and steroid use.

The effectiveness of continuing professional development for the residential long-term care workforce: A systematic review.

Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of continuing professional development in residential long-term care.

Design: Systematic review.

Data Sources: PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health (CINAHL), and Web of Science.

Optimal growth and development: are teenagers getting enough micronutrients from their diet?

The teenage years represent a crucial period of physical and cognitive growth and development with sufficient micronutrient intakes necessary to meet high nutritional requirements. This review examines current micronutrient intakes in teenagers in the Western world in the context of public health implications including the prevalence of inadequate intakes and risk of excessive intakes. Intakes of vitamins A, D, E and C, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and potassium in teenagers are low when compared to generally accepted recommendations, while there is little risk of excessive micronutrient intakes based on current dietary patterns.

The experience and attitudes of long-term care workers with teaching and learning modalities for the delivery of continuing professional development activities: a mixed-methods study.

Aim: to develop a better understanding of the attitudes and experiences of healthcare workers and managers with face-to-face, online asynchronous (pre-recorded), and online synchronous (live) modalities for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) working in the Long-Term Care (LTC) sector.

Background: The recent global pandemic significantly interrupted the delivery and organisation of education and training for healthcare professionals internationally. As a result of the restrictions, healthcare professionals' access to CPD was limited, consequentially education and training activities were mostly delivered online.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., novel species isolated from porcine gastrointestinal mucosa.

Strains LMG 7974 and LMG 8286 represent single, novel lineages with and as nearest phylogenomic neighbours, respectively. The results of average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) analyses of LMG 7974, LMG 8286 and type strains of species of the genus confirmed that these strains represent novel species of the genus . The 16S rRNA gene sequences of both strains showed highest identity towards (97.

Phenotypic and genetic analyses of two Campylobacter fetus isolates from a patient with relapsed prosthetic valve endocarditis.

Campylobacter fetus can cause intestinal and systemic disease in humans and are well-established veterinary and economic pathogens. We report the complete genomic sequences of two C. fetus subsp.

The consumption of low-calorie sweetener containing foods during pregnancy: results from the ROLO study.

Background/objectives: Women with gestational diabetes (GDM) are advised to adapt a low glycaemic index (GI) diet, which may impact consumption of low-calorie sweeteners (LCS). LCS are increasingly popular as they add sweetness without contributing calories. This study aims to investigate the reported intakes of LCS-containing foods in women during pregnancy.

Peripheral bone density measurement: An interdisciplinary initiative for improving health outcomes for people with learning disabilities.

Challenges exist in respect of people with intellectual disabilities who, with the increasing life expectancy, have a growing risk of age-related degenerative conditions. Changes in bone health are associated with increasing age and the bone health of people who have intellectual disabilities is well documented in the literature as being poor in comparison to the general population. A heel scan clinic was set up in an intellectual disability service as a service improvement initiative.

Is access to specialist assessment of chest pain equitable by age, gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic status? An enhanced ecological analysis.

Objectives: To determine whether access to rapid access chest pain clinics of people with recent onset symptoms is equitable by age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity and gender, according to need.

Design: Retrospective cohort study with ecological analysis.

Setting: Patients referred from primary care to five rapid access chest pain clinics in secondary care, across England.

Inequity of access to investigation and effect on clinical outcomes: prognostic study of coronary angiography for suspected stable angina pectoris.

Objectives: To determine whether coronary angiography for suspected stable angina pectoris is underused in older patients, women, south Asian patients, and those from socioeconomically deprived areas, and, if it is, whether this is associated with higher coronary event rates.

Design: Multicentre cohort with five year follow-up.

Setting: Six ambulatory care clinics in England.
