Job characteristics, personal characteristics and well-being of nursing assistants in long-term care facilities: A mixed methods systematic review and narrative synthesis.

Background: Within long-term care facilities, paraprofessional nursing assistants account for the largest proportion of the health care workforce and provide essential direct care to older people with complex care needs. There is a gap in developing a theory-driven, systematic synthesis of the job characteristics and well-being outcomes specific to this occupational group, as most existing studies evaluate either professional health care workers or both professional and nursing assistants.

Aim: Develop an occupation-specific conceptual model on the job characteristics and well-being of nursing assistants in long-term care facilities drawing upon the job demands-resources model.

From bioinformatics to clinical applications: a novel prognostic model of cuproptosis-related genes based on single-cell RNA sequencing data in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective And Methods: To ascertain the connection between cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) and the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) via single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data, relevant data were downloaded from the GEO and TCGA databases. The differentially expressed CRGs (DE-CRGs) were filtered by the overlaps in differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between HCC patients and normal controls (NCs) in the scRNA-seq database, DE-CRGs between high- and low-CRG-activity cells, and DEGs between HCC patients and NCs in the TCGA database.

Results: Thirty-three DE-CRGs in HCC were identified.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals a high-resolution cell atlas of petals in at different flowering development stages.

A photoelectrochemical cytosensor based on a BiS-MoS heterojunction-modified reduced oxide graphene honeycomb film for sensitive detection of circulating tumor cells.

A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) cytosensor for the ultrasensitive detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) was developed. The bio-inspired reduced graphene oxide (rGO) honeycomb film photoelectrode was fabricated a "breath figure" method, followed by the self-assembly of a BiS-MoS heterojunction. The resulting BiS-MoS heterojunction-modified rGO honeycomb film was employed as a sensing matrix for the first time.
