Article Abstract
Introduction: Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) health care professionals face significant burnout, yet evidence on system-level factors such as workplace discrimination that contribute to this issue among TGD nurses is limited. Responding to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' call for research on burnout among health care staff from diverse demographic backgrounds, this study aimed to examine the system-level factors affecting burnout and professional well-being among TGD nurses and identify strategies to enhance their well-being.
Methods: This qualitative descriptive study employed directed content analysis of responses of 6 different open-text survey questions from 66 TGD nurses, utilizing 2 nurse survey datasets collected pre-pandemic (December 2019-February 2020) and during the pandemic (April 2021-June 2021). To identify the system-level factors influencing burnout and well-being, the themes were developed using both inductive and deductive analytic approaches, guided by the Systems Model of Clinical Burnout and Professional Well-being.
Results: Three themes related to the system-level factors affecting burnout and professional well-being among TGD nurses were: (1) characterized by inadequate staffing and insufficient protective measures, (2) highlighted by unsupportive leadership and workplace discrimination, and (3) that create barriers to providing quality care for marginalized groups and receiving care for themselves. Recommendations from participants to enhance their professional well-being are also presented.
Conclusion: To support the well-being of TGD nurses and improve the quality of care for all patients, health care organizations should implement system-level changes that create a physically and psychologically safe and inclusive work environment.

Human activities contribute to large shifts in the global climate, with far-reaching impacts on ecosystems, societies, and human health. Modern food systems-designed to produce convenience foods that tend to have high inflammatory potential-exacerbate environmental degradation and shape the interwoven challenges of climate, nutrition, and health. Over the past three decades, extreme weather has worsened and poor diets have led to more inflammation-related health problems-two parallel trends that are exposing system-wide weaknesses and harming global health.

Background: Dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) is a severe subtype of cerebral palsy in which children often present substantial functional impairment and multiple comorbidities. Our knowledge of the clinical picture of DCP is limited and our understanding of which markers best predict later impairment is scarce. This study aims to describe the presentation of DCP and examine the value of gestational age (GA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings as early markers of eventual DCP prognosis.

Curative-intent multimodality treatment-combining local treatments such as surgery or radiotherapy with systemic therapy-is the cornerstone of care in stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Since 2017, the systemic therapy backbones with multimodality treatment have undergone a dramatic transformation, driven by a series of pivotal, practice-changing clinical trials. Immunotherapy and targeted therapies, previously confined to the advanced/metastatic setting, are now firmly embedded in curative-intent regimens.

Background: Patient safety culture involves shared values, perceptions, and attitudes regarding safety within healthcare organizations, aiming to minimize preventable harm to patients. This concept has gained prominence worldwide, especially in Africa, where recent efforts focus on patient safety as a fundamental component of healthcare delivery. Despite progress, research into patient safety culture and its influencing factors remains limited in low-resource settings.
