This article examines national and state safety practice initiatives, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services quality focus, federal and state outcomes reporting, and consumer access to outcomes data. The efforts of national and regional legislators and health care institutions to create regulations for staffing and technology to reduce medical errors is reviewed. The potential of a unified cooperative effort from all stakeholders to implement the above initiatives to improve intensive care unit safety practices is discussed.

Inhibition of Retinal Neovascularization by BEZ235: Targeting the Akt/4EBP1/Cyclin D1 Pathway in Endothelial Cells.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
January 2025
Institute of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China.
Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of BEZ235, a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, in suppressing pathological neovascularization in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mouse model and explore the role of cyclin D1 in endothelial cell cycle regulation.
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed to analyze gene expression and cell-cycle alterations in retinal endothelial cells under normoxic and OIR conditions. The effects of BEZ235 on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) were evaluated by assessing cell viability, cell-cycle progression, proliferation, migration, and tube formation.

Pancreatic cancer remains as global health challenge, ranking as the seventh leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide with high mortality rates and a low five-year survival rate. Despite advancements in conventional therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, the overall survival rates for pancreatic cancer patients have shown minimal improvement. Consequently, there is an urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies.

Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of photobiomodulation therapy on the regenerative potential of non-vital mature permanent teeth of healthy Canine dogs.
Methods: 54 mature roots, obtained from 27 premolars, in dogs, were selected and divided into three equal groups where Group I received regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) using blood clot as a scaffold (positive control), Group II received similar treatment as Group I, followed by photobiomodulation therapy (study group) and Group III did not receive any intervention (negative control). Each group was further divided into three equal subgroups for the evaluation of the vascular area percentage and fibroblast count at 3 different intervals; 3, 10, and 15 weeks.
Development and biological evaluation of a novel CEACAM6-targeted PET tracer for distinguishing malignant nodules in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma.
Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging
January 2025
School of Pharmacy, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, 211166, China.
Purpose: Low-dose CT (LDCT) screening effectively reduces lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) mortality. However, accurately evaluating the malignant potential of indeterminate lung nodules remains a challenge. Carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6), a potential biomarker for distinguishing benign pulmonary nodules from LUAD, may be leveraged for noninvasive positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to aid LUAD diagnosis.
