Background: Radiation literacy, encompassing the understanding of basic principles, applications, risks, and protective measures related to ionizing radiation, is critical for medical personnel working in jobs that involve the use of radioactive materials or medical imaging. In the context of nuclear emergency preparedness, the level of radiation knowledge among healthcare professionals-such as doctors, nurses, and radiographers-directly influences the effectiveness and safety of emergency responses. This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the radiation knowledge of medical personnel and identifying areas for improvement in profession-specific training programs.

The high morbidity and mortality rate of individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) coinfected with (MTB) is a tough challenge for current global tuberculosis prevention and control efforts. HIV/MTB coinfection is more complex than a single infection, and the interaction between the two diseases aggravates the deterioration caused by the disease, resulting in increased hospitalizations and deaths. Rapid screening and early diagnosis facilitate the timely initiation of anti-tuberculosis treatment in HIV/MTB coinfected individuals, thereby reducing transmission and the incidence of adverse prognoses.

The binding interactions between okadaic acid (OA) aptamers and OA molecules are crucial for developing effective detection methods. This study aims to identify the recognition site and establish a reliable detection protocol through computational simulations and experimental validations. After determining the target sequence (OA-2), molecular docking simulations using Sybyl-X and H-dock were conducted to predict the binding affinity and interaction sites of OA aptamers with their targets.

Background: A rapid and equitable response is paramount to mitigating the spread and impact of an infectious disease public health emergency. Unfortunately, public health responses often integrate equity as a secondary component rather than a foundational one-a decision that can result in disproportionate effects of the epidemic on vulnerable populations and that may further fuel or worsen the ongoing health emergency. This paper introduces a framework grounded in health equity principles to guide the design and implementation of response efforts during infectious disease emergencies.

Background: China has the highest number of diabetics globally, necessitating refined disease management strategies. Diabetes Internet-based nursing clinic services (INCS) can significantly improve health behaviors, blood glucose levels, and help prevent complications. The services mainly rely on the Internet platform for nurses' door-to-door service abroad, while China's "Internet + Nursing Service" combines online and offline modes.
