In order to design patient-centered art making interventions for health and well-being, investigators need to understand the population of interest regarding their relationship to engagement in art making activities. This study, therefore, aimed to examine older adults' characteristics that were associated with engagement in art making activities, and to provide practical examples of how to use the identified characteristics. We conducted correlation analyses to evaluate such associations, using cross-sectional survey data from the 2014 Health and Retirement Study (n=731). Female sex, higher education, personality traits, positive attitude toward the arts, and a larger social network size were positively associated with engagement in art making activities (p<.05). Males and those with lower education could be targeted, while the type of art making activity could be tailored based on personality traits for patient-centered art making interventions. Future studies can use this information to empirically study art making interventions for older adults.

Genome-wide functional genetic screening has been widely used in the biomedicine field, which makes it possible to find a needle in a haystack at the genetic level. In cancer research, gene mutations are closely related to tumor development, metastasis, and recurrence, and the use of state-of-the-art powerful screening technologies, such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR), to search for the most critical genes or coding products provides us with a new possibility to further refine the cancer mapping and provide new possibilities for the treatment of cancer patients. The use of CRISPR screening for the most critical genes or coding products has further refined the cancer atlas and provided new possibilities for the treatment of cancer patients.

Exploring the associations between microbes and drugs offers valuable insights into their underlying mechanisms. Traditional wet lab experiments, while reliable, are often time-consuming and labor-intensive, making computational approaches an attractive alternative. Existing similarity-based machine learning models for predicting microbe-drug associations typically rely on integrated similarities as input, neglecting the unique contributions of individual similarities, which can compromise predictive accuracy.

Background: HIV remains a major challenge in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, particularly for young women who face disproportionate risks and barriers to prevention and treatment. Most HIV cure trials, however, occur in high-income countries.
Objective: To examine the perspectives of young women diagnosed with acute HIV in a longitudinal study, focusing on their perceptions on ATI-inclusive HIV cure trials and the barriers and facilitators to participation.

The world's big cities, including Budapest, are becoming more crowded, with more and more people living in smaller and smaller spaces. There is an increasing demand for more green space and trees, with less vertical and less horizontal space. In addition, deteriorating environmental conditions are making it even more difficult for trees to grow and survive.
