This study aimed at verifying the knowledge of nurses about groups and group functioning, as well as knowing which premises found their activities as coordinators of their working teams. The research was outlined by the descriptive-exploratory approach, carried out in a university hospital in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The results show that 97% of the participants like group work while 77.7% of the nurses use both empirical and theoretical knowledge as the basis for their activities. However, most of them were unaware of the meaning of operative group and basic assumptions. By using the empiric and theoretical knowledge, the nurse can have tools to work with group emotions and support actions regarding the client's care.

University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Objective: Stimulant medications are the primary pharmacological intervention for ADHD, yet our understanding of how sex and gender impact stimulant treatment outcomes remains limited. Clinical guidelines do not differ for female and male individuals despite possible sex and gender-related differences in effectiveness, adverse events, and pharmacokinetics. This theoretical framework identifies five key knowledge gaps relating to sex and gender effects in stimulant treatment.

Macrophages are crucial immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME), involved in regulating tumor proliferation, invasion, metastasis, ECM remodeling, angiogenesis, and immunosuppression. Although more and more experimental evidence and clinical data indicate that macrophages are involved in the onset and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the exact pathogenesis of OSCC associated with macrophages has not been fully elucidated. Enhanced knowledge of the molecular mechanisms involving macrophages in OSCC will aid in the creation of treatments targeted specifically at macrophages.

Publishing preprints is quickly becoming commonplace in ecology and evolutionary biology. Preprints can facilitate the rapid sharing of scientific knowledge establishing precedence and enabling feedback from the research community before peer review. Yet, significant barriers to preprint use exist, including language barriers, a lack of understanding about the benefits of preprints and a lack of diversity in the types of research outputs accepted (e.
