Graduate nurses are now comprehensively prepared in Australia and have limited mental health knowledge and experiences to work in acute mental health settings. As such, graduate nurses would need the support that they can get from their respective mental health services to progress from novice to advanced beginner. Nursing education is an important support for graduate nurses to develop the knowledge and skills required for them to transition successfully into acute mental health settings.

Background: There is a large literature on the prevalence of disability in older men, but less data on the incidence of new disability.
Objectives: 1. To determine the incidence of moderate-to-severe disability in a prospective cohort study of aging men; and 2.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationships between sleep quality, global mental status, and the risk of mortality, using data from 1364 participants in the HANDLS study over approximately 8 years.
- Results indicate that poorer sleep quality is linked to a higher mortality risk, particularly among individuals with initially better cognitive function.
- The findings suggest a complex interaction between sleep and cognition affecting mortality risk, highlighting the need for further research to explore these connections over time.
Background: Gene therapy is a promising therapeutic approach for treating various disorders by introducing modified nucleic acids to correct cellular dysfunctions or introduce new functions. Despite significant advancements in the field, the effective delivery of nucleic acids remains a challenge, due to biological barriers and the immune system's ability to target and destroy these molecules. Due to their branched structure and ability to condense negatively charged nucleic acids, cationic dendrimers have shown potential in overcoming these challenges.
