Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to implement and evaluate an algorithm for management and prevention of diaper dermatitis (DD) embedded in a scoring tool. The specific aim of the project was to decrease DD occurrences with a severity score of 3 to 4 by 25%.
Participants And Setting: Quality improvement participants comprised 164 neonates; 89 were cared for prior to project implementation and 75 post-implementation.
SLO co-opts host cell glycosphingolipids to access cholesterol-rich lipid rafts for enhanced pore formation and cytotoxicity.

Unlabelled: Streptolysin O (SLO) is a virulence determinant of group A (), the agent of streptococcal sore throat and severe invasive infections. SLO is a member of a family of bacterial pore-forming toxins known as cholesterol-dependent cytolysins, which require cell membrane cholesterol for pore formation. While cholesterol is essential for cytolytic activity, accumulating data suggest that cell surface glycans may also participate in the binding of SLO and other cholesterol-dependent cytolysins to host cells.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Pittsburgh Heart, Lung, Blood and Vascular Medicine Institute, University of Pittsburgh, PA. (R.A.C., C.C.C., R.W., A.C., C.B., C.R., W.J.M., M.J. Bashline, A.P., A.M.P., P.B., M.J. Brown, C.S.H.).
Background: Calcific aortic valve disease is the pathological remodeling of valve leaflets. The initial steps in valve leaflet osteogenic reprogramming are not fully understood. As TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) overexpression primes mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into osteoblasts, we investigated whether TERT contributes to the osteogenic reprogramming of valve interstitial cells.

Background: The combination of cardiovascular disease and diabetes is a highly prevalent condition in the United Arab Emirates. Development and dissemination of evidence-based regional recommendations for optimal screening, treatment and referrals of people with diabetes and high cardiovascular risk is an important priority.
Consensus Panel: An expert panel of diabetologists, endocrinologists and cardiologists from the Emirates Cardiac Society and Emirates Diabetes and Endocrine Society as well as different entities in the UAE, discussed and reviewed evidence and also a consensus report from the American Diabetes Association to formulate contextualized recommendations that could be applied for optimal management of cardiovascular risk in people with diabetes in the UAE.
Preliminary effectiveness of social prescription and virtual patient information in increasing tertiary prevention among cancer patients (ESPRIT): protocol for a single-centre, randomised controlled pilot trial.

Introduction: Tertiary prevention through physical activity and psychosocial support can positively impact patient outcomes, such as physical function and quality of life (QoL). However, more research is required on the effectiveness of strategies designed to increase the uptake of tertiary prevention programmes among cancer patients. Here, we present the protocol for a single-centre, randomised controlled pilot trial testing the preliminary effectiveness of social prescription and virtual patient information in increasing tertiary prevention among cancer patients and support persons (SPs) (ESPRIT "ffectiveness of a ocial escription and virtual patient nformation in increasing ertiary prevention" pilot trial).
