Long-standing and persistent racial inequities exist in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Genetic medicine has the promise to significantly advance the identification of at-risk individuals and facilitate prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer. Genetic testing is increasingly becoming incorporated into the screening-to-treatment continuum of care for cancer. Although genetic technologies are relatively new to the cancer care landscape, racial inequities already exist in awareness, access, referral, and uptake. Nurses play a vital role in achieving health equity, but success requires that nurses understand, recognize and take action to overcome the factors that have fostered health inequities.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays critical roles in modulating plant growth and stress response and its homeostasis is fine tuned using multiple peroxidases. HO, a major kind of ROS, is removed rapidly and directly using three catalases, CAT1, CAT2, and CAT3, in Arabidopsis. Although the activity regulations of catalases have been well studied, their degradation pathway is less clear.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective strategy in reducing HIV transmission, yet its uptake remains suboptimal. Health care providers play a vital role in facilitating PrEP access and care. This qualitative study explores health care providers' perspectives on the oral PrEP care continuum for adults, emphasizing barriers, facilitators, and missed opportunities in PrEP implementation.

The rumen microbiota plays a vital role in the nutrient metabolism affecting the growth of velvet antler. However, the fermentation patterns and dynamics of the rumen microbiota across growth stages of velvet antler remain largely unexplored. Here, we employed an fermentation approach to assess fermentation parameters and microbial composition in the rumen liquid of sika deer during the early growth (EG), metaphase growth (MG), and fast growth (FG) phases .

Multi-step Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) plays a vital role in photosynthesis. While the energy transfer efficiency (Φ) of a naturally occurring system can reach 95%, that of most artificial light-harvesting systems (ALHSs) is still limited. Herein, we propose a strategy to construct highly efficient ALHSs using a blue-emitting, supercooled ionic compound of naphthalimide (NPI) as the donor, a green-emitting BODIPY derivate as a relay acceptor, and a commercially available, red-emitting dye [rhodamine B (RhB)] as the final acceptor.

Background And Aims: Clinical laboratories play a vital role in modern healthcare, where laboratory test results significantly influence medical decisions. However, laboratory professionals are often exposed to hazardous biological materials, underscoring the importance of biosafety management. This study aimed to assess biosafety practices among clinical laboratory professionals in Debre Berhan town, Ethiopia.
