Study examines expanding role of nursing research in improving patient care

From the researchers who are discovering new knowledge, to the clinicians who are finding ways to use that research evidence at the patient bedside, it is nurses' focus on the patient that makes their work unique among health professions. The latest issue of Johns Hopkins Nursing takes a look at the expanding role of nursing research in improving patient care.

Industry sponsored clinical trials present a more favourable picture of reported findings

Ancient rodent DNA being used to identify the cause of its low genetic diversity

A rare Patagonian rodent known as the colonial tuco-tuco fascinates biologists because it seems to defy all odds. This threatened species has so little genetic diversity that the slightest whiff of climate change or disease should have wiped it off the face of the earth long ago. Yet the hearty gopher-like creature has not only managed to survive for thousands of years in the harsh climate of the Argentine highlands, it has evolved a complex social structure that's unique among the more than 50 closely related tuco-tuco species.
