Barriers and facilitators in the implementation of an evidence-based health promotion intervention in a primary care setting: a qualitative study.

Purpose: This study aims to elucidate the health care organization, management and policy barriers and facilitators associated with implementation of an evidence-based health promotion intervention in primary care centers in the Basque Country, Spain.

Design/methodology/approach: Seven focus groups were conducted with 49 health professionals from six primary care centers participating in the Prescribing Healthy Life program. Text was analyzed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) focusing on those constructs related to health care organization, management and policy.

"My Patients Asked Me If I Owned a Fruit Stand in Town or Something." Barriers and Facilitators of Personalized Dietary Advice Implemented in a Primary Care Setting.

Primary care is especially well positioned to address prevention of non-communicable diseases. However, implementation of health promotion activities such as personalized dietary advice is challenging. The study aim was to understand barriers and facilitators of the personalized dietary advice component of a lifestyle intervention in primary care, as perceived by health center professionals and program participants.

[Information needs and internet use in patients with breast cancer in Spain].

Objective: To analyze information needs and search strategies among women with breast cancer in Spain. An additional aim was to explore how the internet, as a source of health information, influences the autonomy and active management of this disease among patients. The research was conducted in 2010 and 2011.

Dbf2 is essential for cytokinesis and correct mitotic spindle formation in Candida albicans.

We have characterized the DBF2 gene, encoding a protein kinase of the NDR family in Candida albicans, and demonstrate that this gene is essential for cell viability. Conditional mutants were constructed by using the MET3 promoter to analyse the phenotype of cells lacking this kinase. The absence of Dbf2 resulted in cells arrested as large-budded pairs that failed to contract the actomyosin ring, a function similar to that described for its Saccharomyces cerevisiae orthologue.

Septins localize to microtubules during nutritional limitation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Background: In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, nutrient limitation stimulates diploid cells to undergo DNA replication and meiosis, followed by the formation of four haploid spores. Septins are a family of proteins that assemble a ring structure at the mother-daughter neck during vegetative growth, where they control cytokinesis. In sporulating cells, the septin ring disassembles and septins relocalize to the prospore membrane.

Cdc15 is required for spore morphogenesis independently of Cdc14 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae exit from mitosis requires the Cdc14 phosphatase to reverse CDK-mediated phosphorylation. Cdc14 is released from the nucleolus by the Cdc14 early anaphase release (FEAR) and mitotic exit network (MEN) pathways. In meiosis, the FEAR pathway is essential for exit from anaphase I.
