Transgenic animals are an important source of protein and nutrition for most humans and will play key roles in satisfying the increasing demand for food in an ever-increasing world population. The past decade has experienced a revolution in the development of methods that permit the introduction of specific alterations to complex genomes. This precision will enhance genome-based improvement of farm animals for food production. Precision genetics also will enhance the development of therapeutic biomaterials and models of human disease as resources for the development of advanced patient therapies.

Nutrient loading as a key cause of short- and long-term anthropogenic ecological degradation of the Salton Sea.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of California, Riverside, CA, 92521, USA.
The Salton Sea (SS), California's largest inland lake at 816 square kilometers, formed in 1905 from a levee breach in an area historically characterized by natural wet-dry cycles as Lake Cahuilla. Despite more than a century of untreated agricultural drainage inputs, there has not been a systematic assessment of nutrient loading, cycling, and associated ecological impacts at this iconic waterbody. The lake is now experiencing unprecedented degradation, particularly following the 2003 Quantification Settlement Agreement-the largest agricultural-to-urban water transfer in the United States.

Underwater image enhancement (UIE) is challenging since image degradation in aquatic environments is complicated and changing over time. Existing mainstream methods rely on either physical-model or data-driven, suffering from performance bottlenecks due to changes in imaging conditions or training instability. In this article, we attempt to adapt the diffusion model to the UIE task and propose a Content-Preserving Diffusion Model (CPDM) to address the above challenges.

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in intraspecies and interspecies communication, significantly influencing physiological and pathological processes. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) secreted by Gram-negative bacteria are rich in components from the parent cells and are important for bacterial communication, immune evasion, and pathogenic mechanisms. However, the extraction and purification of OMVs face numerous challenges due to their small size and heterogeneity.

Centre for Global Mental Health, Health Service and Population Research Department, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London, London, London, UK.
Objective: To explore the perceptions and experiences of mental health service users and healthcare workers regarding the implementation of district mental healthcare plans (DMHPs) in three district demonstration sites in Ghana.
Design: The study employed a qualitative design using reflexive thematic analysis. Interview data were analysed by combining inductive and deductive approaches.
Content validation of the nursing diagnosis "Frail Elderly Syndrome (00257)".

Professor of Department of Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Podiatry at the University of Seville, Seville, Spain.
Objective: To increase the level of evidence available for the nursing diagnosis "Frail Elderly Syndrome 000257" through content validation by nurses with expertise in caring for the elderly.
Method: Diagnostic content validation study in accordance with Fehring's proposal composed of two stages: integrative review of the literature according to Whittemore and Knafl's guidelines, which allowed us to update the diagnostic components, and, subsequently, expert consensus study by means of the Delphi method. A total of 61 nurses who met the inclusion criteria were included.
