Objective: To ascertain student nurses' degree of knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding the implementation of community activities (CA) in primary care.
Design: Questionnaire-based cross-sectional study.
Sample: The study was conducted with 152 students seeking a nursing degree at the University of Santiago de Compostela (North Spain) in the 2022/2023 academic year.
Capillary density in skeletal muscles is key to estimate exercise capacity in healthy individuals, athletes, and those with muscle-related pathologies. Here, we present a step-by-step, high-throughput semi-automated method for quantifying capillary density from whole human skeletal muscle cross-sections, in areas of the muscle occupied by myofibers. We provide a detailed protocol for immunofluorescence staining, image acquisition, processing, and quantification.

Laboratory selection has been widely used to experimentally examine the evolutionary consequences of variation in genetic background, although largely using genotypes differing by only a few mutations. Here, we leverage natural variation in the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa to investigate whether different adaptive solutions are accessible from distant points of departure on an adaptive landscape.
