Background: This study examined nurse faculty members' teaching, scholarship, and professional development interests across Southeastern Conference (SEC) nursing schools, and evaluated differences in these needs associated with years in academia, tenure status, faculty rank, and Accountable Health Communities (AHC) versus non-AHC settings.

Method: Rosenthal and Stanberry's framework for faculty development provided the theoretical foundation for this cross-sectional study to explore topics of interests of faculty at 12 SEC nursing schools.

Results: A total of 470 faculty responded to the online survey (57% response rate).

Caseinate is commonly used in the dairy industry for its stabilizing properties. Its functionalities are largely due to its manufacturing process involving a high level of demineralization that induces casein precipitation. To address this, the researchers are looking for alternatives to respond to consumer demands for high-quality ingredients and increase efficiency.

Rabies virus (RABV) generates membrane-less liquid organelles (Negri bodies) in the cytoplasm of its host cell, where genome transcription and replication and nucleocapsid assembly take place, but the mechanisms of their assembly and maturation remain to be explained. An essential component of the viral RNA synthesizing machine, the phosphoprotein (P), acts as a scaffold protein for the assembly of these condensates. This intrinsically disordered protein forms star-shaped dimers with N-terminal negatively charged flexible arms and C-terminal globular domains exhibiting a large dipole moment.

Introduction: In recent years, caesarean section (CS) rate has risen worldwide. Complications associated with CS scars have risen too, such as scar dehiscences and uterine ruptures. Uterine healing is a complex phenomenon still poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
  • A dendritic polymer known as 2D-SupraPol inhibits SARS-CoV-2 through an irreversible (virucidal) mechanism only when it is self-assembled, making it more effective than its monomeric forms that allow the virus to regain infectivity.
  • In laboratory and animal tests, 2D-SupraPol demonstrated a very low half-inhibitory concentration (IC 30 nM) and effective results in reducing virus activity in a Syrian hamster model.
  • The size and structure of 2D-SupraPol can be modified by changing pH levels, and it is proposed as a potential prophylactic nasal spray to prevent the virus from interacting with the respiratory tract.
