Purpose: To establish a website to advance nursing research and education involving omics technologies and methodologies through facilitating collaborations, use of existing data and samples, mentoring, and access to training opportunities.

Methods: The Omics Nursing Science & Education Network (ONSEN) website was established following identification of gaps in omics nursing infrastructure and resources that could be addressed via a concerted, collaborative effort. ONSEN content was created using input from a workgroup of experts in genomics and other omics, education, practice, and nursing research. Alpha testing was conducted with workgroup members, followed by website refinements and enhancements, and subsequent beta testing by potential end users. ONSEN was launched in August 2018.

Findings: ONSEN has three main sections. The Education and Training section provides information on mentoring and pre- or postdoctoral opportunities in addition to a knowledge matrix to advance education and skills in genomic nursing science. The Research Collaborations section promotes awareness of ongoing omics nursing research in order to foster collaborations and sharing of samples or data among investigators with programs in omics nursing research or an interest in developing such programs. The Common Data Elements (CDE) section provides information on the benefits of incorporating CDEs into nursing science as well as links to National Institutes of Health resources to facilitate use of CDEs.

Conclusions: ONSEN provides opportunities for nurse scientists and trainees to leverage samples and datasets, locate mentors and pre- or postdoctoral positions, further the use of CDEs, and enhance education and skills for integrating omics into nursing science.

Clinical Relevance: Advancing omics nursing science via ONSEN resources will accelerate the elucidation of the molecular underpinnings of disease and associated symptoms as well as inform the development of rapidly translatable, personalized intervention strategies, grounded in biological mechanisms, for improved health outcomes across populations and the lifespan.

Modern treatment, a healthy diet, and physical activity routines lower the risk factors for metabolic syndrome; however, this condition is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality worldwide. This investigation involved a randomized controlled trial, double-blind, parallel study. Fifty-eight participants with risk factors of metabolic syndrome according to the inclusion criteria were randomized into two groups and given probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MSMC39-1 and Bifidobacterium animalis TA-1) (n = 31) or a placebo (n = 27).

Environmental heavy metal contamination, combined with inappropriate use of fungicides, has led to the co-existence of lead (Pb) and iprodione (IPR), presenting signification risks to ecosystems and human health. The toxic effects resulting from concurrent exposure to Pb and IPR, however, remain poorly understood. In the study, we conducted a comprehensive 60-day subchronic study to investigate the toxic effects on the liver and gut in parental male zebrafish through employing multi-omics analyses.

Background: With the increasing burden of dental diseases and the limited availability of healthcare resources, traditional triage methods are inadequate in efficiently utilizing healthcare resources and meeting patient needs. The aim of this study is to develop an advanced triage system that combines oral radiomics and biological multi-omics data, which enables accurate departmental referral of patients by automatically interpreting biological information in oral X-ray images.

Methods: Using a multi-label learning algorithm, we analyzed multi-omics data from 3,942 patients with oral diseases from three cohorts between July 1, 2023 and August 18, 2023, and continuously monitored classification accuracy (ACC) metrics.
