Envisioning quality improvement education partnerships to teach pre-registration nursing students: A qualitative study.

Background: Quality improvement education partnerships occur when higher education and healthcare organisations collaborate to teach quality improvement. These partnerships have been used to increase pre-registration student engagement through experiential learning. However, there is limited evidence on the perspectives of higher education nursing academics and healthcare organisation participants in these quality improvement education partnerships.

Development of the quality improvement collaborative questionnaire (QuIC) to explore quality improvement partnerships to teach pre-registration nursing students.

Background: Quality improvement partnerships between healthcare organisations and higher education require further research to explore their potential to provide a valuable education experience for pre-registration nursing students.

Aims: Develop and validate a questionnaire for nurse academics to evaluate quality improvement content in pre-registration nursing curricula and the extent of partnership with higher education providers in developing this content. Conduct a pilot test of the questionnaire.

Vertical inhibition of p110α/AKT and N-cadherin enhances treatment efficacy in PIK3CA-aberrated ovarian cancer cells.

Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha [PIK3CA, encoding PI3Kalpha (also known as p110α)] is one of the most commonly aberrated genes in human cancers. In serous ovarian cancer, PIK3CA amplification is highly frequent but PIK3CA point mutation is rare. However, whether PIK3CA amplification and PIK3CA driver mutations have the same functional impact in the disease is unclear.
