Well-established, regular exercise interventions for older people living with HIV (OPLWH) are beneficial. However, the fundamental principles of exercise prescription for this population have not been sufficiently explored. An expert panel of health care professionals engaged in a modified Delphi technique to explore their perceptions of, and gain their consensus on, an exercise prescription framework for OPLWH in a resource-poor South African setting.

Background: Critical care units require an interprofessional management approach to optimise patients' health. Clinical education and training delivered in remote healthcare settings are vital for fostering interprofessional collaboration (IPC) among health science students for future team functioning.

Objectives: Our study explored the IPC among clinicians in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting at two South African decentralised clinical training facilities to understand the existing collaborative practices that students are exposed to during their clinical training.

Article Synopsis
  • sEVs released by acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) cells impact the differentiation and proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), with a specific focus on YBX1 as a significant protein involved in this process.
  • The study found that AML-sEVs promote BM-MSC proliferation but downregulate vital proteins for normal blood formation and specifically inhibit osteoblast differentiation while not affecting other types of differentiation.
  • By using proteomics, researchers identified that YBX1 levels are elevated in AML-sEVs from pediatric patients, and reducing YBX1 in AML cells can reverse the negative effects on BM-MSC osteoblastic differentiation.
