Article Abstract
Recently, hospitals and medical facilities have been experiencing a shortage of doctors along with heavy workload. The role of a mid-level provider may be important as a potential solution to these problems. A nurse practitioner(NP)is the most famous mid-level provider, and in our institution, the neurosurgery department has 3 NPs. Contrary to America, in Japan, the job of an NP is not an occupation independent from doctors or nurses. NPs perform 38 specific procedures according to doctors' instructions. Their activities include assisting with operations, writing prescriptions, participation in neurosurgical rounds and conferences, transportation of patients by helicopter, etc. The safe transportation of patients to isolated islands by a helicopter is especially a representative activity in our institution. Inclusion of NPs in clinical settings may bring forth medical improvements and superior work efficiency. According to regional characteristics, the job profile of a NP presents a potential scope for added capabilities.

Background: The United States opioid epidemic's reach is expanding. Rapidly scaling opioid education and naloxone distribution (OEND) programs is essential within a multipronged public health response. Universities offer infrastructure with potential to support routine, widespread OEND implementation among adolescents and young adults nationally, a priority population who could disseminate to broader networks and geographic communities.

Multi-omics data integration refers to the process of combining and analyzing data measured on the same set of biological samples with different omics technologies, such as genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomes, lipidomics, and glycomics. Even though multi-omics approaches have similar objectives as single-block or single-omics analyses (for instance, description, discrimination, classification, or prediction), they are able to capture a broader spectrum of molecular information, thus providing a deeper understanding of biological systems and their complex interactions.

Degenerative scoliosis (DS) is a significant health concern, affecting approximately 32-68% of the Chinese population aged 65 and above. This study aims to investigate the correlation between multifidus muscle atrophy and the severity of spinal curvature in DS patients, thereby providing evidence-based recommendations for the clinical prevention and management of DS. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 231 patients with chronic low back pain admitted to the Department of Spinal Surgery, Zhongda Hospital affiliated with Southeast University between January 2023 and January 2024 were ultimately selected as the study population.

Geographical origin authentication of agrifood products is essential for ensuring their quality, preventing fraud, and maintaining consumers' trust. In this study, we used proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR) and excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods for the geographical origin characterization of olive drupes and leaves from different Tuscany subregions, where olive oil production is relevant. Single-block approaches were implemented for individual datasets, using principal component analysis (PCA) for data visualization and Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) for sample classification.
