G protein-coupled receptors are highly complex signal transduction proteins with many potential biomedical applications. Researchers from different fields work together to improve mechanistic understanding of GPCR function and to transfer that knowledge in order to advance therapeutic options. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of GPCR research, many databases and web tools with different types and levels of information are being developed to support scientists in sharing and analysing data. Here, we aim to give an overview of freely available online chemoinformatics and bioinformatics resources specifically designed to aid GPCR research. We compiled a dedicated domain on ELIXIR's bio. tools portal as a continuously updatable repository of GPCR-related online resources (https://bio.tools/t?domain=gpcr). This provides an up-to-date overview of available tools, rather than a static list representing only a snapshot in time. Furthermore, we give some recommendations for developing and using scientific online resources and briefly describe selected databases and web-based tools for GPCR research.

Department of Medical Ultrasound, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Introduction: The existing ultrasound appointment system faces multiple challenges, including a lack of diversity in its operation modes, sluggish efficiency, and limited flexibility. During emergency situations, such as disease outbreaks or severe disaster events, the demand for ultrasound examinations skyrockets, making it imperative to offer patients efficient and user-friendly ultrasound appointment services.
Methods: This study introduces the application of a patient-centered real-time dynamic resource allocation strategy in an ultrasound appointment system.
Evaluating the effectiveness and limitations of online health information tools in assessing the quality of medication-related content.

Introduction: The internet has become a primary source of information on medicines, yet the quality of this information is inconsistent. Despite the proliferation of web-based resources, limited research has specifically examined the reliability of online information on medicines. The variability in quality can be attributed to the recent shift toward digital information-seeking and the absence of specialized tools designed to assess the quality of medication-related information online.

Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study: (a) scoped the literature for desirable characteristics of online learning environments; (b) analyzed and compared the available online systematic review and meta-analysis (SR/MA) courses; and (c) proposed an outline for a model online systematic review SR/MA course that is aligned with PRISMA principles, and (d) charted learning outcomes, module contents, interactive elements, feedback and module assessment, and course evaluation of the proposed course. The findings highlight the many distinctive aspects and design of the proposed model course, including its comprehensiveness, alignment with PRISMA principles, self-pace and self-direction, with high interactivity levels, augmented by the expert trainer guidance ('human' factor), and individualized feedback, and its conclusion with the incorporation of the learners in virtual research teams undertaking real SR/MA. The proposed model course integrates principles of problem-based learning, where in addition to the provided resources (interactive assignments and video tutorials), trainees will be actively conducting their own real SR/MA as part of the course, while receiving expert feedback to enhance learning outcomes.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Nurses and nursing students are in an optimum role to assess, manage and promote lifestyle changes associated with CVD risk. Patients and service users are more likely to adopt these changes if the person delivering the information embodies this lifestyle themselves.

Purpose: Healthcare organizations are increasingly piloting weapons screening programs (WSPs) like metal detectors (MDs) to combat rising hospital workplace violence (WPV). This study identifies, analyzes, and concisely reports how the extant body of literature supports the ability of WSPs' to reduce absolute rates of hospital WPV according to public health principles.
Methods: We searched six online databases from July 2023 to December 2024 for full-length papers and abstracts of original research regarding WSPs at public entrances to US hospitals.
