Implementation of a midwifery preceptor program in Sierra Leone: a qualitative evaluation using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.

Background: Sierra Leone has the world's third highest incidence of maternal mortality, with 443 deaths per 100,000 live births. Strengthening the country's midwifery workforce is essential to providing adequate maternal healthcare and reducing preventable perinatal mortality. In support of this goal, we developed and implemented a midwifery preceptor program (MPP) to train experienced midwives to effectively mentor new and student midwives.

Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Division of Nursing, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background: The benefits of physical activity for frail older acutely hospitalized adults are becoming increasingly clear. To enhance opportunities for physical activity on geriatric wards, it is essential to understand the older adult's perspective.
Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of physical activity among older adults during hospital stays on a geriatric ward.

Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC), Beijing, China.
The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

The unique biodiversity and vast carbon stocks of the Amazon rainforests are essential to the Earth System but are threatened by future water balance changes. Empirical evidence suggests that species and trait diversity may mediate forest drought responses, yet little evidence exists for tropical forest responses. In this simulation study, we identify key axes of trait variation and quantify the extent to which functional trait diversity increases tropical forests' drought resistance.

Purpose: Cholelithiasis is associated with decreased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a bile acid used to dissolve cholesterol gallstones, has been shown to be retina-protective in several mouse models. This study sought to determine if UDCA may protect against AMD.
