Background: This study replicates previous research undertaken in 2013 that explored the role of the Clinical Nurse Consultant in a metropolitan health district in Sydney, Australia.
Methods: A descriptive survey, using Likert scales, was used to collect data from Clinical Nurse Consultants.
Results: Clinical Nurse Consultants are well informed about the domains and functions of their role, as stipulated in the relevant award. They identified clinical service and consultancy as the area in which they predominantly practice.
Conclusion: Despite the clarity of the domains and functions as outlined in the relevant legislated award, the activities undertaken by these clinical nurses are institutionally, individually and contextually constructed.

There has been an erosion of trust in medical care and clinical research, and this has raised issues about whether institutions and investigators conducting clinical research are worthy of trust. We review recent literature on research on trust and trustworthiness in the clinical research enterprise and identify opportunities to enhance trustworthiness, which will likely increase participant trust in clinical research. In addition, we review materials reporting the results of national polls related to the public's trust in different occupations.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells receive several stimuli from surrounding cells, such as B-cell receptor (BCR) stimulation, and can manipulate their microenvironment via extracellular vesicle (EV) release. Here, we investigated the small RNA content (microRNA and YRNA) of CLL-EVs from leukemic cells cultured with/without BCR stimulation. We highlight an increase of miR-155-5p, miR-146a-5p, and miR-132-3p in EVs and in cells after BCR stimulation ( < 0.
