Health sciences librarians often lack knowledge of the motivations behind faculty publishing behavior. This study establishes some understanding of their choices through interviews with academic health sciences faculty members. Knowledge of the concepts of open access was lacking, as was the differences between open access and predatory publishing. Faculty had varied opinions on publication without robust peer review, its ethical implications, manuscript quality, and trust in scientific publishing. Evidence from this study suggests that librarians must take an active role in shaping the future of scholarly communication through education, advocacy, and a commitment to moving science forward equitably and ethically.

Patient-Centered Physical Activity Intervention in Lung Cancer Patients: A Clinical Severity and Functional Capacity Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Cancer Nurs
January 2025
Author Affiliations: Departments of Physiotherapy (Drs Heredia Ciuró, Martín Núñez, Navas Otero, Calvache Mateo, Torres Sánchez, and Valenza) and Nursing (Dr Granados Santiago), Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Granada, Granada, Spain.
Background: Increasing physical activity levels is a significant unmet need in cancer survivors, and it can likely be enhanced through a better understanding of the interventions developed. Some studies on patient-centered physical activity interventions have shown promising results in increasing daily activity levels among lung cancer survivors. However, the programs present a high heterogeneity, and there is no consensus on the parameters and their effectiveness.

West J Nurs Res
January 2025
Florida State University College of Nursing, Tallahassee, FL, USA.
Background: Within the last decade, system and policy-level changes have driven substantial shifts in heart failure (HF) care from hospital to home, requiring greater support from informal care partners. What has not been examined is the state of the care partner science by person and system-level domains using qualitative studies to understand impact across multiple person and system levels.
Objectives: (1) Identify by person and system levels and domain what is known about informal care partners and (2) Identify gaps in the caregiving science and suggest ways to move forward.
Sequestration of dead-end undecaprenyl phosphate-linked oligosaccharide intermediate.
Microbiology (Reading)
January 2025
School of Life and Environmental Sciences, The University of Sydney, Camperdown, New South Wales, Australia.
Most Gram-negative bacteria synthesize a plethora of cell surface polysaccharides that play key roles in immune evasion, cell envelope structural integrity and host-pathogen interactions. In the predominant polysaccharide Wzx/Wzy-dependent pathway, synthesis is divided between the cytoplasmic and periplasmic faces of the membrane. Initially, an oligosaccharide composed of 3-8 sugars is synthesized on a membrane-embedded lipid carrier, undecaprenyl pyrophosphate, within the cytoplasmic face of the membrane.

January 2025
Department of Psychology, University of Bath, Bath, United Kingdom.
Background: Mental health problems in university students are associated with many negative outcomes, yet there is a gap between need and timely access to help. Single-session interventions (SSIs) are designed to be scalable and accessible, delivering core evidence-based intervention components within a one-off encounter.
Objective: COMET (Common Elements Toolbox) is an online self-help SSI that includes behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, gratitude, and self-compassion.
Work-Stressors and Depression and Anxiety-A Longitudinal Study of the Moderating Role of Self-Compassion.
Stress Health
February 2025
Department of Psychology, Health and Technoly, Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences, University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands.
Self-compassion has been defined as being open to one's suffering, not avoiding or disconnecting from it, coupled with the kind and caring motivation to alleviate one's suffering. There is increasing evidence that self-compassion might function as a buffer against the negative mental health effects of experiencing work-stressors. However, while this moderating role of self-compassion has been demonstrated when measures of subjective stress are used, different studies that use measures of more objective potential stressors failed to demonstrate a moderating role of self-compassion.
