Purpose: To thoroughly describe 1) the stressors experienced by nurses during the first waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2) the extent to which experiencing these stressors affected nurses' psychological and physical health and 3) the health resources nurses used to protect and maintain their psychological and physical health during this period.
Method: We used a theory-driven descriptive qualitative design and conducted seven focus groups of 2-5 nurses (total = 23 nurses) distinguished by their degree of contact with COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Switzerland.
Results: A thematic analysis identified three main themes and their respective sub-themes: 1) Lived experiences and stressors (Living in a strange world; Hard work alone behind closed doors; Contaminating or being contaminated; Living at home behind closed doors; A war of attrition after the first wave); 2) Health (Everything is fine; Multiple traumas; Stress; Long-term exhaustion); 3) Resources (Societal and institutional resources; Direct relational resources; Resources specific to individuals).
Potentially traumatic events, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and skin-related quality of life among adults with self-reported skin disease symptoms.

The connection between stress and skin disease has been extensively documented; however, there are no empirical studies investigating the incidence of traumatic event exposure and posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms among dermatology patients. To address this gap in the literature and begin to understand the associations between PTS symptoms and skin disease symptoms, this study used a sample of adults with self-reported skin disease symptoms to examine: (1) rates of potentially traumatic event (PTE) exposure and PTS symptoms; and (2) the association between PTS symptoms and skin-related quality of life, controlling for relevant covariates. Data were collected online through Cloud Research, and participants completed a battery of self-report measures.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive condition that damages both the hormone-producing and digestive functions of the pancreas; previous studies hinted at the potential of using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for treatment.
- The researchers created immortalized versions of MSCs (iMSCs) and those overexpressing alpha-1 antitrypsin (iAAT-MSCs) to enhance their viability for treatment and tested these cells against TNBS-induced cell death in laboratory conditions.
- Both iMSCs and iAAT-MSCs demonstrated protective effects against cell death by reducing stress in cells, improving energy production, and minimizing oxidative damage, while also uncovering the role of ferroptosis as a new mechanism of cell death
