Critical Workforce Gaps in Dementia Education and Training.

The US Department of Health and Human Services and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, through private sector support, sponsored the National Research Summit on Dementia Care: Building Evidence for Services and Supports (Summit) in 2017. Various workgroups were asked to address topics of interest in dementia care and develop recommendations addressing the goals of the Summit. Workforce education and training was identified to be a key issue.

Transport induced by large scale convective structures in a dipole-confined plasma.

Convective structures characterized by E×B motion are observed in a dipole-confined plasma. Particle transport rates are calculated from density dynamics obtained from multipoint measurements and the reconstructed electrostatic potential. The calculated transport rates determined from the large-scale dynamics and local probe measurements agree in magnitude, show intermittency, and indicate that the particle transport is dominated by large-scale convective structures.

Asthma: individual patient perspective and current unmet needs.

Today there is an array of medication options to treat asthma and state-of-the-art guidelines to help diagnose and manage this chronic disease. Despite this, asthma morbidity and mortality rates are rising. There is an urgent need to direct educational programmes and health resources to address this disparity.
