The knowledge needed to provide competent care to dying clients and their families and to meet the established criteria for effective death and dying curricula was explored by junior-level and senior-level baccalaureate honors students, who identified their own learning needs and resources. After completing the self-designed curriculum, student-identified learning needs were compared to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing competencies for providing high-quality end-of-life care. Analysis of the student-identified objectives revealed a high level of congruity with the nationally established competencies.

Sensorineural hearing loss causes cell death in central auditory neurons, but molecular mechanisms of triggering this process are not fully understood. We report here that loss of afferent activity promotes cell death by facilitating proBDNF-p75NTR signals in cochlear nucleus of chicks around hatch. RNA-seq analyses revealed up-regulation of genes related to proBDNF-p75NTR-JNK signals as well as apoptosis at the nucleus within 24hours after unilateral cochlea deprivation.
