In recent years, global forced migration due to conflict, violence, and persecution has increased dramatically, affecting numerous countries, with Türkiye being particularly impacted. Despite global trends showing a significant decline in positive attitudes toward refugees, the limited existing literature on racism in nursing education primarily focuses on themes related to white supremacy. This focus inadequately addresses the issue of personally mediated racism toward various ethnic groups, especially within the context of nursing education and research. Considering the ongoing migration influx, it is crucial to examine personally mediated racism and its underlying causes among nursing students in countries most affected by this issue. This study examined personally mediated racism among nursing students toward refugees in Türkiye by creating an environment conducive to productive discussions, utilizing a participant-driven photo-elicitation method. The study identifies two key themes to address gaps in the literature: "The Road to Personally Mediated Racism" and "Uncontrollable Exclusivism," emphasizing the existence of personally mediated racism among nursing students. This study's findings underscore the essential need to integrate antiracist education and promote open discussions about current societal developments and dynamics within nursing education.

ObjectivesThis study investigated the associations between Five-Factor Model personality traits and balance impairment and lower limb strength.MethodsMiddle-aged and older adults (Age range: 34-104 years; >27,000) from six large samples from the US and England were assessed for standing balance, lower limb strength, personality traits, sociodemographic, and health-related variables.ResultsHigher extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness were related to lower balance impairment risk and better lower limb strength.

Background: Population-level preventive interventions are urgently needed and may be effective for psychosis due to social determinants. We tested three syndemic models along pathways from childhood adversity (CA) to psychotic spectrum disorder (PSD) and their implications for prevention.
Methods: Cross-sectional data from 7461 British men surveyed in 5 population subgroups.

Hypertension, a globally prevalent condition, is closely associated with T cell-mediated inflammatory responses. Studies have shown that T cells, by secreting pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), Interleukin-17 (IL-17), and Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), directly lead to vascular dysfunction and elevated blood pressure. The activation of Th1 and Th17 cell subsets, along with the dysfunction of regulatory T cells (Tregs), is a critical mechanism in the onset and progression of hypertension.

Introduction: CD20+ T-cells were described firstly in peripheral blood and later in bone marrow in patients with hematological tumors, and certain immune-mediated diseases. During our hematological diagnostic work, this peculiar subgroup of lymphocytes has been consistently observed associated with untreated monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and myeloma (MM). Despite the expanding literature data, the exact function of CD20+ T cells remains unclear.

Psoriasis (PsO) is an immune-mediated, chronic inflammatory skin disease that significantly impairs quality of life. Its treatment landscape is rapidly evolving, providing better disease control. Here, we highlight updates in biologics, obtaining coverage for biologics under Medicare, the PsO-to-psoriatic arthritis (PsA) transition, and orally administered drugs, as presented at the 2024 Masterclass in Dermatology in Puerto Rico.
