Multiple-choice examinations (MCEs) are commonly used to evaluate nursing students. Nurse educators require support to develop questions and engage in postexam analysis to ensure reliable assessment of student learning. We surveyed nurse educators and conducted focus groups to investigate current writing practices associated with MCEs. Using appreciative inquiry, participants proposed ideals to strengthen MCE practice: guidelines and expectations for faculty, faculty-developed test banks, team development, and an assessment blueprint at the curriculum level. Faculty supports are necessary to strengthen current MCE practices and best utilize the skills of educators.

The development of resistance remains one of the biggest challenges in clinical cancer patient care and it comprises all treatment modalities from chemotherapy to targeted or immune therapy. In solid malignancies, drug resistance is the result of adaptive processes occurring in cancer cells or the surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME). Future therapy attempts will therefore benefit from targeting both, tumor and stroma compartments and drug targets which affect both sides will be highly appreciated.

Dietary polyphenols represent a diverse group of plant-derived compounds known for their extensive biological activities, offering significant promise in the prevention and treatment of various chronic illnesses. Despite their potential, advancements in their research have been curtailed by challenges in structural analysis and limitations in existing research models. This review marks a pioneering exploration into how bile acids, gut microbiota, and the gut-brain axis serve as conduits through which dietary polyphenols can exert therapeutic effects on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

In health, the liver is a metabolically flexible organ that plays a key role in regulating systemic lipid and glucose concentrations. There is a constant flux of fatty acids (FAs) to the liver from multiple sources, including adipose tissue, dietary, endogenously synthesized from non-lipid precursors, intrahepatic lipid droplets and recycling of triglyceride-rich remnants. Within the liver, FAs are used for triglyceride synthesis, which can be oxidized, stored or secreted in very low-density lipoproteins into the systemic circulation.

Members of the genus are well known for their medicinal properties, which can be attributed to their essential oils. In this work, we have examined the leaf essential oils of five understudied species collected from various locations in western North America. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatographic methods, including enantioselective gas chromatography.
