Both in the past and at present, we see a very weak presence of nurses both in Spanish Parliament and in the parliaments of the seventeen autonomous communities that constitute the kingdom of Spain. The present study, focused on the current legislature (X Legislature, 2011-2015), aims to give the exact number of deputies nurses in each of the mentioned legislative chambers, and size their position in them and identify their coordinates of identity, gender, age, educational qualification and political party they belong to, in order to specify the exact percentages of participation of nurses. The conclusion of this research presents a picture so bleak that has been diagnosed, quite rightly, as "political anorexia of the nurse power".

Patient advocacy is a duty for professional nurses; however, not all nurses are empowered to advocate for meeting patients' needs.

This study examined how nurses participating in a new union in an urban United States hospital described their reasons for participating in a labor union during collective bargaining.

The action of retinoic acid on spermatogonia in the testis.

Curr Top Dev Biol

January 2025

School of Molecular Biosciences, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington, United States. Electronic address:

For mammalian spermatogenesis to proceed normally, it is essential that the population of testicular progenitor cells, A undifferentiated spermatogonia (A), undergoes differentiation during the A to A1 transition that occurs at the onset of spermatogenesis. The commitment of the A population to differentiation and leaving a quiescent, stem-like state gives rise to all the spermatozoa produced across the lifespan of an individual, and ultimately determines male fertility. The action of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) on the A population is the determining factor that induces this change.
