Article Abstract
In this paper, we explore the seeming stability of aging. More precisely, we offer an empirical account of how aging - images of aging, embodiments of aging, feelings about aging - is enacted in company practice, both in place and across time. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted at SMCare, a small-to-medium sized company active in the care technology sector, we show how aging achieves its stability not through practices that are characterized by affection, or purposefully targeted at maintaining or caring for aging, but due to ongoing re-enactments in the shadows of other care practices. In so doing, we mobilize STS care literature that foregrounds the often-invisible relationships among objects that are otherwise neglected, marginalized and excluded. In particular, we interrogate the interlinkages between aging and caring practices as emerging in the shadows of care. In these blind spots, we find, certain unloved and disliked objects such as aging may aggregate and grow, becoming stable and durable as they are incidentally brought into existence, drawing energy from, and feeding off, other care practices.

Background: Hospital falls represent a persistent and significant threat to safety within health care systems worldwide, impacting both patient well-being and the occupational health of health care staff. While patient falls are a primary concern, addressing fall risks for all individuals within the health care environment remains a key objective. Caregiver visibility and spatial monitoring are recognized as crucial considerations in mitigating fall-related incidents.

Local pH variations play a pivotal role in numerous critical biological processes. However, achieving the tunability and selectivity of pH detection remains a challenge. Here, we present a DNA-based strategy that enables programmable and selective pH responses, which is termed shadow-strand hybridization-actuated displacement engineering (SHADE).

Background: Early-onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) is a critical condition primarily caused by maternal-fetal transmission of bacterial pathogens during delivery, with Escherichia coli and Group B Streptococcus being the most prevalent. However, neonatal sepsis can also involve other rare bacteria, including Corynebacterium amycolatum, which was first described in 1988 and is widely recognized as an emerging pathogen in infectious diseases.
Case Presentation: A male infant was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) due to premature birth and tachypnea.

Introduction: Advanced practice providers (APPs), including physician assistants and nurse practitioners, benefit from structured onboarding curricula as they transition into specialty practice. These programs aim to enhance evidence-based knowledge, clinical skills, and core competencies, ultimately improving provider competency and health care quality. This scoping review seeks to map the existing literature on specialty-focused APP onboarding practices and identify knowledge gaps.
