Research indicates that knowledge gaps and unfavorable attitudes among primary care advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) are linked to stigma surrounding psychiatric care, affecting the management of patients experiencing mental illness. Despite standards of practice and educational guidelines set forth by professional nursing organizations to increase quality of care, challenges exist when delivering care to patients with mental health disorders. Lack of integration of mental health education throughout graduate nursing courses contributes to an underestimation of its significance and applicability within advanced practice nursing in primary care.

Eur J Prev Cardiol

November 2024

Department of Cardiology, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou (HEGP), 20 rue Leblanc, 75015 Paris, France.

Aims: Women are less likely to receive lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We analysed whether this under-prescription currently persists and has an impact on long-term outcomes.

Methods And Results: The FAST-MI programme consists of nationwide registries including all patients admitted for AMI ≤ 48 h from onset over a 1 month period in 2005, 2010, and 2015, with long-term follow-up.

Introduction: Modern warfare operations are volatile, highly complex environments, placing immense physiological, psychological, and cognitive demands on the warfighter. To maximize cognitive performance and warfighter resilience and readiness, training must address psychological stress to enhance performance. Resilience in the face of adversity is fundamentally rooted in an individual's psychophysiological stress response and optimized through decreased susceptibility to the negative impact of trauma exposure.

Ground-breaking progress has been made in structure prediction of biomolecular assemblies, including the recent breakthrough of AlphaFold 3. However, it remains challenging for AlphaFold 3 and other state-of-the-art deep learning-based methods to accurately predict protein-RNA complex structures, in part due to the limited availability of evolutionary and structural information related to protein-RNA interactions that are used as inputs to the existing approaches. Here, we introduce ProRNA3D-single, a new deep-learning framework for protein-RNA complex structure prediction with only single-sequence input.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to assess immunity levels for hepatitis A (HAV) and hepatitis B (HBV) among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in sexual health services in England, due to limited existing data on immunization coverage.

Coral reefs are increasingly impacted by climate-induced warming events. However, there is limited empirical evidence on the variation in the response of shallow coral reef communities to thermal stress across depths. Here, we assess depth-dependent changes in coral reef benthic communities following successive marine heatwaves from 2015 to 2017 across a 5-25 m depth gradient in the remote Chagos Archipelago, Central Indian Ocean.

Protein language models (pLMs) trained on a large corpus of protein sequences have shown unprecedented scalability and broad generalizability in a wide range of predictive modeling tasks, but their power has not yet been harnessed for predicting protein-nucleic acid binding sites, critical for characterizing the interactions between proteins and nucleic acids. Here, we present EquiPNAS, a new pLM-informed E(3) equivariant deep graph neural network framework for improved protein-nucleic acid binding site prediction. By combining the strengths of pLM and symmetry-aware deep graph learning, EquiPNAS consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for both protein-DNA and protein-RNA binding site prediction on multiple datasets across a diverse set of predictive modeling scenarios ranging from using experimental input to AlphaFold2 predictions.

Introduction: Reminiscence therapy (RT), which engages individuals to evoke positive memories, has been shown to be effective in improving psychological well-being in older adults suffering from PTSD, depression, and anxiety. However, its impact on brain function has yet to be determined. This paper presents functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to describe changes in autobiographical memory networks (AMN) in community-dwelling older adults.

Background: Autologous fat grafting is increasingly used worldwide and is a very attractive technique in many ways. However, treatment duration and postinjection tissue resorption remain problematic elements, which are largely related to the preparation method used. Moreover, few scientific studies objectively compare different fat preparation methods.

Protection against Severe Illness versus Immunity-Redefining Vaccine Effectiveness in the Aftermath of COVID-19.

Microorganisms

July 2023

Physical Therapy Program, Department of Health Care Sciences, Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48201, USA.

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have played a pivotal role in reducing the risk of developing severe illness from COVID-19, thus helping end the COVID-19 global public health emergency after more than three years. Intriguingly, as SARS-CoV-2 variants emerged, individuals who were fully vaccinated did get infected in high numbers, and viral loads in vaccinated individuals were as high as those in the unvaccinated. However, even with high viral loads, vaccinated individuals were significantly less likely to develop severe illness; this begs the question as to whether the main effect of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is to confer protection against severe illness or immunity against infection.

Bacterioplankton underpin biogeochemical cycles and an improved understanding of the patterns and drivers of variability in their distribution is needed to determine their wider functioning and importance. Sharp environmental gradients and dispersal barriers associated with ocean fronts are emerging as key determinants of bacterioplankton biodiversity patterns. We examined how the development of the Celtic Sea Front (CF), a tidal mixing front on the Northwest European Shelf affects bacterioplankton communities.

Motivation: Accurate modeling of protein-protein interaction interface is essential for high-quality protein complex structure prediction. Existing approaches for estimating the quality of a predicted protein complex structural model utilize only the physicochemical properties or energetic contributions of the interacting atoms, ignoring evolutionarily information or inter-atomic multimeric geometries, including interaction distance and orientations.

Results: Here, we present PIQLE, a deep graph learning method for protein-protein interface quality estimation.

Contact-Assisted Threading in Low-Homology Protein Modeling.

Methods Mol Biol

March 2023

Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, USA.

The ability to successfully predict the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence has made considerable progress in the recent past. The progress is propelled by the improved accuracy of deep learning-based inter-residue contact map predictors coupled with the rising growth of protein sequence databases. Contact map encodes interatomic interaction information that can be exploited for highly accurate prediction of protein structures via contact map threading even for the query proteins that are not amenable to direct homology modeling.

The human lifespan has expanded drastically in the last few centuries, due to improvements in sanitation, medicine, and nutrition, but with this increase in longevity comes higher rates of cognitive pathology such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia; the latter is estimated to reach more than 75 million people by 2030. Pathology risk is related to measures of executive function, lifestyle factors (e.g.
