Bedside nurses involved in research and evidence-based practice (EBP) have the ability to change policies, patient care, and outcomes. This article describes the journey of a research committee using the Magnet® component of new knowledge, innovation, and improvements. Using several tools, the unit-based committee developed skills in meeting management, nursing research methods, and EBP. Focusing to improve family and nurse communication about the plan of care, the committee recommended changes in the existing Plan of Care tool, including family input and recommendations for families to view and add to the sheet and participate in daily rounds, which was not the standard practice. Since this intervention was implemented, patient satisfaction has increased, as well as nurse engagement and intent to stay. This project exemplifies how nurse-driven innovations and family partnership led to new knowledge, innovations in learning about research, applying it to practice, and improving practice.

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer and a leading cause of mortality among gynecologic malignancies. This review aims to comprehensively analyze the morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of HGSOC, highlighting its pathogenesis and identifying biomarkers with diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic significance. Special emphasis is placed on the role of tumor microenvironment (TME) and genomic instability in shaping the tumor's behavior and therapeutic vulnerabilities.

The remarkable success of Graph Neural Networks underscores their formidable capacity to assimilate multimodal inputs, markedly enhancing performance across a broad spectrum of domains. In the context of molecular modeling, considerable efforts have been made to enrich molecular representations by integrating data from diverse aspects. Nevertheless, current methodologies frequently compartmentalize geometric and semantic components, resulting in a fragmented approach that impairs the holistic integration of molecular attributes.

Furan (C₄H₄O), an unintended hazardous compound, is formed in various thermally processed foods through multiple pathways, raising concerns due to its potential carcinogenicity in humans. The aim of this comprehensive review was to synthesize and evaluate the latest research on furan, from its formation by different precursors to its presence in diverse food matrices, as well as the emerging methods for its detection and mitigation. Emphasizing the toxicity of furan, it explored evidence from in vitro and in vivo studies, including reproductive toxicity, carcinogenic effects, and related biomarkers.
