Background: Diversity in nursing remains limited with little progress made in the recruitment of males. The purpose of this research was to garner the male nursing students' perspectives of their lived experiences while enrolled in their undergraduate program.
Method: A phenomenological group focus approach was utilized with male nursing students regarding their lived experiences of what factors support or negate their being successful in completing a nursing program.
Results: Four themes were interpreted: exclusion, gender bias, career expectations, and acceptance. Exclusion and gender bias were seen as negative impact factors, while career expectations was both a motivating factor and a negating factor. Acceptance was interpreted as an important positive factor.
Conclusion: A call for change to the profession of nursing from a culture of the "good ole' girls' nursing club" to one of "great nurses from both genders and all ethnicities" is critical for the future growth of the profession.

Menopause negatively impacts women's health. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether an olive leaf extract (OLE) improves postmenopausal symptoms, body composition, handgrip strength and blood lipid profile in postmenopausal women. In a randomized, double-blinded parallel study design, 60 healthy postmenopausal women aged 47-70 years received either OLE (250 mg/day) or placebo supplementation for 12 weeks.

Article Synopsis
- Septal reduction therapy (SRT) significantly improves symptoms for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but its long-term results and predictors of adverse outcomes still need more study.* -
- An analysis of data from the SHARE registry revealed that among 1,832 patients who underwent SRT, the 30-day mortality rate was low at 0.4%, and after approximately 6.8 years, rates for HCM-related death, heart failure, and ventricular arrhythmias were relatively low.* -
- Key findings included that older age at SRT increases risks for HCM death and heart failure outcomes, while female patients showed higher susceptibility to heart failure complications post-treatment.*
Antitumor Effect of Oleoyl-siRNA against Pancreatic Cancer Using a Portal Vein Infusion Liver-Metastatic Mouse Model.

In this study, we developed an oleoyl-siRNA conjugate in which oleic acid was conjugated at the 5'-end of the sense strand of the siRNA. Furthermore, we examined the effects of RNAi in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer with liver metastasis. The mouse model of pancreatic cancer with liver metastasis was developed by implanting Sui67Luc human pancreatic cancer cells into the portal veins of mice.

Article Synopsis
- - Neovaginas can be surgically created for women with MRKH syndrome or during gender-affirming surgery, and studying their microbiota is essential for effective management.
- - A longitudinal study showed that the neovaginal microbiota initially had random characteristics with an increase in Enterococcus faecalis and Mycoplasmas, but evolved to resemble a normal vagina within 6-12 months after surgery.
- - By 2-4 years post-surgery, the neovaginal microbiota aligned more closely with pre-surgery microbiota, particularly with the presence of Lactobacillus crispatus, indicating its association with vaginal health and opportunities for enhancing its colonization.
Synergistic cytotoxicity of olive leaf extract-loaded lipid nanocarriers combined with Newcastle disease virus against cervical cancer cells.

Despite recent medical progress, cervical cancer remains a major global health concern for women. Current standard treatments have limitations such as non-specific toxicity that necessitate development of safer and more effective therapeutic strategies. This research evaluated the combinatorial effects of olive leaf extract (OLE), rich in anti-cancer polyphenols, and the oncolytic Newcastle disease virus (NDV) against human cervical cancer cells.
