On the care stage, all the actors are active. One comes to lay down their suffering, the other has a dutyto consider their pain. The caregiver must play a role in stage managing the patient from the moment he or she remains anchored in reality and in the present moment. Beyond listening to the delusional speech, beyond containment and the effort of establishing communication, the nursing care of delusional patients falls within the sphere of negotiation.

Bioinspired smart polymeric materials that undergo three-dimensional shape deformation in response to specific stimuli have gained significant attention in the field of soft robotics and intelligent devices. Despite the substantial advancements in soft robotics, there is a growing demand for the design of multistimuli-responsive soft actuators using a single layer of material due to its reduced complexity and ease of manufacturing and durability. Here, we report the actuation characteristics of a single-layer, dual-responsive soft actuator that overcomes the commonly encountered delamination issues often associated with bilayer systems by incorporating PEDOT:PSS with cassava starch.

Background: Despite growing evidence of the potential of arts-based modalities to translate knowledge and spark discussion on complex issues, applications to health policy are rare. This study explored the potential of a research-based theatrical video to increase public capacity and motivation to engage with the complex issues that make Emergency Department wait times such an intractable problem.
Methods: Larry Saves the Canadian Healthcare System is a digital musical micro-series developed from extensive research examining system-level causes of Emergency crowding and the ineffectiveness of prevailing approaches.

In this issue, Zhang et al. show that CTCF blocks cohesin-mediated loop extrusion in an orientation-dependent manner. Using single-molecule imaging assays, the authors find that dCas9 and R-loops can also stall extrusion.

Ocular and specifically retinal toxicities of systemic medications are prevalent and encompass many disease modalities. For many of these pharmaceuticals, established follow-up protocols are in place to ensure timely detection and cessation of therapy. However, while for some disorders, cessation of therapy is a viable option due to existing treatment alternatives, for some others cessation of treatment can be life threatening and/or shorten the patient's life expectancy.
