Registered Nurse Workload and Resident Outcomes in Nursing Homes: A Scoping Review of Workforce Sustainability and Nursing Management.

Aim To map RN workload, staffing indicators, resident outcomes, workforce sustainability and nursing‐management context in nursing homes. Background Staffing ratios and hours per resident day (HPRD) quantify staffing but not role complexity, interruptions, supervisory demands, resident acuity, continuity or work environment. Evaluation Following JBI guidance and PRISMA‐ScR, five databases were searched using an RN‐specific strategy and updated on 4 September 2026. Following source‐level eli...

The Analysis of Optometrist Primary Eye Care Professionals as a Specialized Practice across India's Different States.

Background Optometrists play a pivotal role in preventing and managing vision impairment through the provision of comprehensive eye care services. In India, vision impairment remains a major public health challenge, largely driven by uncorrected refractive errors, cataract, and other avoidable causes. Despite recent regulatory advances, limited evidence exists on the scope and distribution of specialty optometry practices across Indian states. This study assessed the extent and composition of s...

Exploring the Role of the Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) Older Persons From the Perspective of the Interdisciplinary Team.

Background Advanced Nursing Practice is well established in Irish healthcare; these nurses are educated to practice at higher levels of competency as Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs). Nurses working as ANP Older Persons are relatively new and offer a unique skillset that facilitates the delivery of holistic person‐centred care. To date, this represents novel research, as the ANP role in Older Persons’ care has not previously been explored from the perspective of the interdisciplinary team....

Nurse Practitioner-Pharmacist Collaboration for Medication Regimen Simplification: Pilot and Feasibility Study of a New Telehealth Model of Care.

Background Telehealth can increase access to medical and allied health services in residential aged care facilities (RACFs). Objectives This study investigated the feasibility of a telehealth collaborative care model involving on‐site nurse practitioner and off‐site clinical pharmacist to simplify complex medication regimens in RACFs. Methods This was a pragmatic, nonrandomized pilot and feasibility study in three Western Australian RACFs. A nurse practitioner and an off‐site clinical pharm...

The Infestation of Supplied Mincemeat to Sarcocystis Species and Their Polymorphism Using PCR-SSCP Method.

Background: Sarcocystis spp. is zoonotic parasitic pathogen endangering the safety of meat and derived meat products. This study was carried on for determination of presence of Sarcocystis species in mincemeat in Tabriz (Iran) using single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method. Methods: Thirty samples of mixed ground meat were collected from butchers and DNA was extracted. The 18S rRNA gene fragment of S. cruzi and S. hominis species in the extracted DNA amplified by PCR using one...

Role of PDGF-BB in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma through PI3/AKT/mTOR Pathway: An Integrated Computational and Real-Time PCR-Based Approach.

Objective: This study investigates the role of PDGF-BB in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its impact on the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The goal is to elucidate the expression levels analysis of PDGF-BB and signaling molecules in OSCC pathogenesis, potentially identifying novel biomarkers or therapeutic targets. Methods: A combined approach involving in silico and experimental methods was employed. Protein sequence data for PDGF-BB were obtained from UniProt, and protein-protein interactio...

Rapid Identification and Differential Detection of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus by an Innovative ARMS-qRT-PCR Assay.

Infectious bursal disease (IBD), caused by IBD virus (IBDV), is a major threat to the poultry industry, with the cocirculation of multiple genotyping strains complicating the diagnosis and control. Since the differences of antigenicity among different genotyping and their differences with the commonly used vaccine strains, rapid and accurate identification and differential detection are crucial for surveillance and control of IBDV. In this study, a novel amplification refractory mutation system...

Development and Optimization of a PCR-RFLP Method for Differentiation of Aspergillus flavus From Aspergillus parasiticus.

Introduction: Aflatoxins are highly toxic secondary metabolites produced by several Aspergillus species, pose a global threat to food and feed safety, making rapid and reliable identification of aflatoxigenic species essential for effective surveillance and risk mitigation. Here, we report the development and validation a simple polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) assay that discriminates between the closely related species Aspergillus flavus and Asperg...

What is next for Hematology, Hemotherapy and Cell Therapy? A message and an invitation from incoming editors.

Along with the start of 2026, we assume the great responsibility of continuing the work of editors who in the past brought our journal Hematology, Hemotherapy and Cell Therapy (HTCT) to the place it occupies today in the scientific publishing landscape. Throughout this time, the journal has achieved national and international recognition, illustrated, but not exclusively defined, by indexing and impact metrics. It is fair to say today that, nationally, HTCT has ceased to be a channel for publish...
