This article is the first in a series of three covering the use of care pathways for continence care. Trusts in Basingstoke, Swindon and Salisbury have collaborated in supporting their continence advisers in moving from finance-driven assessment data to evidence-based care pathways and the provision of patient information. This article identifies the background and approach to care pathways and addresses the quality issues. It details the issues facing continence advisers and how care pathways may help to address them. Furthermore, it describes a baseline audit which was carried out to ensure that facts rather than beliefs were being used and this demonstrated that little advice or treatment was actually reaching the patient.

Multiple oxygenate groups in biomass-based feedstocks are open to multiple catalytic pathways and products, typically resulting in low selectivity for the desired products. In this context, strategies for rational catalyst design are critical to obtain high selectivity for the desired products in biomass upgrading. The Sabatier principle provides a conceptual framework for designing optimal catalysts by following the volcanic relationship between catalyst activity for a reaction and the binding strength of a substrate on a catalyst.

Lesions of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord in adult macaque monkeys lead to the loss of hand inputs and large-scale expansion of the face inputs in the hand region of the somatosensory cortex. Inputs from alternate spinal pathways do not reactivate the deafferented regions of area 3b. Here, we determined how transections of the dorsal columns done within a few days after birth affect the developing somatosensory cortex.

The claustrum complex is viewed as fundamental for higher-order cognition; however, the circuit organization and function of its neuroanatomical subregions are not well understood. We demonstrated that some of the key roles of the CLA complex can be attributed to the connectivity and function of a small group of neurons in its ventral subregion, the endopiriform (EN). We identified a subpopulation of EN neurons by their projection to the ventral CA1 (EN.

Background: Although work engagement and job satisfaction are two important indicators associated with care quality, their mediating effects on the relationship between perceived staffing and quality of care have not been adequately clarified.
Purpose: This study was designed to determine the mechanism by which nurses' perceived staffing influences quality of care by clarifying the mediating roles of job satisfaction and work engagement.
Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was implemented among 2,142 clinical nurses from 211 inpatient wards in 13 hospitals.
Advances in Organic Fluorescent and Colorimetric Probes for The Detection of Cu and Their Applications in Cancer Cell Imaging (2020-2024).

Organic fluorescence and colorimetric probes have emerged as vital tools for detecting metal ions, due to their high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response times. Copper, an essential trace element, plays a critical role in biological systems, yet its imbalance can lead to severe disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and Wilson's disease. Over the past few years, advancements in probe design have unlocked innovative avenues for not only detecting Cu in environmental and biological samples but also for visualizing its distribution through fluorescence imaging.
