Context/objective: Community-acquired pressure injuries (CAPrI) are a common and costly complication of spinal cord injury (SCI). The majority of PrIs occur in the community, but there is little guidance in CAPrI prevention. This study describes how provider and veteran perspectives of CAPrI prevention converge and diverge.
Design: The Farmer triangulation method was used to compare two models from previous qualitative research describing provider and veteran perspectives of CAPrI prevention based on the framework of CAPrI risks, resources, and preventive activities. The previous qualitative research revealed the provider model of CAPrI prevention using semi-structured interviews with interprofessional SCI providers at the Veteran Health Administration (VA) ( = 30). A qualitative descriptive design using photovoice ( = 30) with or without guided tours ( = 15) revealed the Veteran model of CAPrI prevention.
Setting: The previous qualitative research was conducted at three geographically different VA spinal cord injury/disorder centers in the United States (north, south, west).
Participants: 30 interprofessional SCI providers; 30 Veterans living with SCI at three VA SCI Centers in the United States.
Interventions: n/a.
Outcome Measures: Provider-Veteran perspectives of CAPrI prevention that demonstrated agreement, partial agreement, divergence, and silence.
Results: Providers and veterans agreed on what is basic care, and the importance of family, caregiver and health provider/system supports, but they viewed motivation, veteran role, informal supports, and adequacy of supports differently.
Conclusion: Understanding how SCI providers and veterans living with SCI view prevention in the community informs how to promote preventive care in the context of veterans' lives.

Purpose Of Review: Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution present a major threat to health. Although emphasis has been put on physical health impacts, evidence on the mental health consequences is now also accumulating quickly. Given the rapid developments in the field, this article provides an expert opinion on the emerging research.

Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to prevent disease development and define therapeutic strategies. Due to predominantly unspecific symptoms, diagnosis of autoimmune diseases (AID) is notoriously challenging. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are a promising method with the potential to enhance and expedite precise diagnostics by physicians.

This study presents a comparative analysis of molecular docking data, focusing on the binding interactions of the natural compounds apigenin and luteolin with the proteins TP-53, pRb, and APOBEC, in comparison to conventional pharmacological ligands. Advanced bioinformatics techniques were employed to evaluate and contrast binding energies, showing that apigenin and luteolin demonstrate significantly higher affinities for TP-53, pRb, and APOBEC, with binding energies of -6.9 kcal/mol and -6.

Article Synopsis
- Mycoplasmal pneumonia of sheep and goats (MPSG) is a significant disease affecting livestock, with Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae (Movi) being a major cause, prompting research into a fusion protein (Hsp70-P113) for detection and immunological study.
- The study involved optimizing DNA sequences for the Hsp70 and P113 proteins, creating a recombinant plasmid, purifying the protein, and developing a serological test (i-ELISA) for Movi detection.
- The final protein had a correct molecular weight and showed good reactivity in tests, with the i-ELISA showing specificity and sensitivity without cross-reacting with other Mycoplasma species, ensuring reliable detection
Circulating CXCL9, monocyte percentage, albumin, and C-reactive protein as a potential, non-invasive, molecular signature of carotid artery disease in 65+ patients with multimorbidity: a pilot study in Age.It.

Background: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for the prevention of upcoming vascular and cerebral events is necessary in patients with high-grade stenosis (≥70%). In the framework of the Italian National project Age.It, a pilot study was proposed aiming at the discovery of a molecular signature with predictive potential of carotid stenosis comparing 65+ asymptomatic and symptomatic inpatients.
