Margaret Newman's theory, Health as Expanding Consciousness (HEC), was used to examine the life pattern of two incarcerated mothers awaiting release from prison. Pattern recognition provided a way to approach understanding the experience of incarceration in a novel fashion. The process increased trust between the mothers and the nurse, and was a useful strategy in articulating the contribution of nursing science and humanistic care.

Back pain that is associated with lumbar spine pathology is a growing issue in the athlete population. As an aging population continues to remain active, it is essential for primary care physicians, general orthopaedic surgeons, and spine surgeons alike to understand the nuances of diagnosis and management in the recreational athlete population. This is a unique population due to the increased importance placed on returning to high levels of activity, but, by definition, they enjoy less resources and financial incentive to optimize their rehabilitation and return to sport compared with professional athletes.

Most antibiotics are ineffective against Gram-negative bacteria owing to the existence of the outer membrane (OM) barrier. The rational design of compounds to expand their antibacterial spectra of antibiotics solely targeting Gram-positive pathogens remains challenging. Here, the design of skeletons from natural products to penetrate the OM are deciphered.

Global health is increasingly challenged by the growing prevalence of obesity and its associated complications. Quercetin, one of the most important dietary flavonoids, is being explored as an effective therapy for obesity with its mechanism remains understudied. Here in this study, it is demonstrated that quercetin intervention significantly reverses obesity-related phenotypes through reshaping the overall structure of microbiota, especially boosting colonization of the beneficial gut commensal Akkermansia muciniphila (A.

Introduction: Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are under-treated, particularly among older adults. Using data from national treatment registers can expand knowledge on the AUD treatment rate among older adults and on potential biases in treatment receipt. The aim of this paper was to determine the AUD treatment prevalence rate and to investigate sociodemographic, health-related and substance use-related correlates of AUD treatment receipt among older adults with different degrees of problematic alcohol use.

Two recent reviews in the International Journal of Eating Disorders have highlighted the preponderance and unmet needs of neurodivergent people who experience disordered eating. In this commentary, we encourage researchers to engage with the bigger question of "What's Next?" and consider the type of research that is needed to shift the dial by lowering the incidence and persistence of disordered eating in neurodivergent people. As a starting point, we believe that future research must be guided by the needs and priorities of neurodivergent people with experience of eating disorders.
