Dynamical responses predict a distal site that modulates activity in an antibiotic resistance enzyme.

β-Lactamases, which hydrolyse β-lactam antibiotics, are key determinants of antibiotic resistance. Predicting the sites and effects of distal mutations in enzymes is challenging. For β-lactamases, the ability to make such predictions would contribute to understanding activity against, and development of, antibiotics and inhibitors to combat resistance.

Taking care of our future doctors: a service evaluation of a medical student mental health service.

Background: Studies suggest medical students experience high levels of mental distress during training but are less likely, than other students, to access care due to stigma and concerns regarding career progression. In response, The School of Clinical Medicine, University of Cambridge supported the development of the 'Clinical Student Mental Health Service' to provide specialist input for this vulnerable group. This study evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of this service.

A comparison of the full Mini Nutritional Assessment, short-form Mini Nutritional Assessment, and Subjective Global Assessment to predict the risk of protein-energy malnutrition in patients on peritoneal dialysis: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The full Mini Nutritional Assessment (full-MNA) and short-form MNA (MNA-SF) are simple and effective nutrition screening scales, but their usefulness for identifying patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD) at risk of protein-calorie malnutrition (PEM) has not been investigated.

Objectives: This study was aimed to investigate the convergent validity of the full-MNA and MNA-SF for identifying patients with PD at risk of PEM.

Design: A cross-sectional study.
