Article Abstract

The Knowledge Management Center (KMC) for the Illuminating the Druggable Genome (IDG) project aims to aggregate, update, and articulate protein-centric data knowledge for the entire human proteome, with emphasis on the understudied proteins from the three IDG protein families. KMC collates and analyzes data from over 70 resources to compile the Target Central Resource Database (TCRD), which is the web-based informatics platform (Pharos). These data include experimental, computational, and text-mined information on protein structures, compound interactions, and disease and phenotype associations. Based on this knowledge, proteins are classified into different Target Development Levels (TDLs) for identification of understudied targets. Additional work by the KMC focuses on enriching target knowledge and producing DrugCentral and other data visualization tools for expanding investigation of understudied targets.

Background: Laboratory animal veterinarians play a crucial role as a bridge between the ethical use of laboratory animals and the advancement of scientific and medical knowledge in biomedical research. They alleviate pain and reduce distress through veterinary care of laboratory animals. Additionally, they enhance animal welfare by creating environments that mimic natural habitats through environmental enrichment and social associations.

Background: Little is documented on key community-based One Health (OH) approach implementation, pro-activeness and effectiveness of interactions and strategies against Mpox outbreak public health emergency in international concern (PHEIC) in various African countries in order to stamp out the persisting Mpox outbreak threat and burden. Prioritizing critical community-based interventions and lessons learned from previous COVID-19, Mpox, Ebola, COVID-19, Rift Valley Fever and Marburg virus outbreaks revealed critical shortcomings in funding, surveillance, and community engagement that plague public health initiatives across the continent. The article provides critical insights and benefits of community-based One Health approaches implementation against Mpox outbreak management in Africa.

Background: Although current evidence supports the effectiveness of social norm feedback (SNF) interventions, their sustained integration into primary care remains limited. Drawing on the elements of the antimicrobial SNF intervention strategy identified through the Delphi-based evidence applicability evaluation, this study aims to explore the barriers and facilitators to its implementation in primary care institutions, thereby informing future optimization.

Methods: Based on the five domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we developed semi-structured interview and focus group discussion guides.

Pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms and knowledge level and quality of life in systemic sclerosis women.

Women Health

September 2025

Nezahat Keleşoğlu Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, Turkey.

This study compared the pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) symptoms, knowledge level and quality of life inwomen with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and healthy. The study included 30 SSc and 30 healthy women. The presence and severity of PFD symptoms were evaluated using the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) (Subscales: Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory-6 (POPDI-6), Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory-8 (CRADI-8), and Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6)).
