December 2024
Sporotrichosis is caused by fungi belonging to the genus Sporothrix, and is generally acquired by traumatic inoculation. A 26-year-old man developed pustular lesions and a 6-kg weight loss after developing a lesion on his right hand 6 months previously. He was diagnosed with acquired human immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and disseminated sporotrichosis cultures of bone and muscle biopsy and blood samples grew Sporothrix schenckii.

- The Cucurbitaceae family, known for its bioactive compounds, is being studied for its potential in preventing and treating colorectal cancer (CRC).
- Four different extracts from cucurbit leaves and seeds were tested on various CRC cell lines to evaluate their effects on tumor growth and cell health.
- Cold ethanolic extracts showed significant anti-cancer properties, such as inhibiting cell proliferation and angiogenesis, and were linked to specific cell cycle changes and gene expression modifications, suggesting they could enhance CRC treatment strategies.

Problem: Nurse practitioner (NP) programs generally incorporate telehealth competencies within their curriculum, preparing NPs to effectively deliver telehealth and improve health outcomes.
Approach: We developed and implemented a telehealth blueprint to enhance telehealth content within our clinical Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program guided by the Four Ps of the Telehealth Framework planning, preparing, providing, and performance evaluation.
Article Synopsis
- The U.S. Air Force relies on remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) aircrew and support personnel for critical military missions, which can lead to increased stress and psychological health risks.
- To counter these issues, a “combat-to-reconstitution” policy was trialed, aimed at giving RPA personnel more downtime for recovery.
- A study involving 397 RPA personnel gathered mixed feedback on the policy's implementation and highlighted that factors like work overload contributed to stress and potential burnout, pointing to areas for improvement.
