Transcription factors are a class of proteins that regulate gene transcription and expression by binding to gene-specific sequences and play an essential role in regulating the biological activities of cells. The RHR (Rel-homology region) transcription factor family is the primary member of the IF (immunoglobulin fold) transcription factor superfamily, whose members contain the conserved Rel domain and IPT (immunoglobulin-like fold) domain. As an ancient transcription factor family, the RHR family continues differentiation on gene gain and loss through gene duplication, mutation, and silencing, accompanied with the evolution of diverse species. Natural selection has led to different rates of evolution among members of the family, and some domains of the protein family have shown unique mechanisms of evolution. However, the current reviews about the origin and differentiation of RHR family are rare. In this review, we summarize the research results on the distribution, classification, function, and evolution of the members of the RHR family in order to provide a reference and new idea for studying the evolution mechanism of the whole transcription factor family and the evolutionary relationship among species.Colorectal cancer (CRC) is caused by genetic and environmental factors, and the genetic component plays a significant role in CRC development. Currently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a large number of genetic loci associated with CRC risk. In the post-GWAS era, more and more efforts focus on deciphering the biological mechanisms behind these potential causal variants by using multi-omics data and functional experiments. Many analyses have revealed that most risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are located in non-coding regions and these variants may regulate the expression of target genes by altering the transcription factor-binding motif, epigenetic modification, chromatin accessibility or 3D genome conformation. Results obtained from post-GWAS era have highlighted the possibility of moving from association to function. In this review, we summarize the current status of CRC post-GWAS studies and discusses the clinical application as well as future directions of CRC GWAS, in order to better gain insight into the molecular basis of CRC and provide evidence for prevention.

Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Lifestyle interventions aimed at postpartum weight loss to reduce T2DM risk have been reported, but poor compliance remains a barrier. Smartphone-based interventions may improve compliance, but data on its use in women with recent GDM are limited.

This trial aimed to investigate the efficacy of a smartphone app in restoring optimal weight following delivery in women with GDM, in the setting of a population with high rates of GDM and type 2 diabetes.

In this unblinded randomized controlled trial, 200 women with GDM were randomized to receive the intervention or standard care following delivery. Alvelestat The intervention enabled logging of weight, meals, and activity, with web-based interaction with a team comprising dieticians, a physiotherapist, and an occupational therapist. The primary outcome was an achievement of optimal weight (defined as the restoration of first trimester weigs app remains promising, as women in the intervention group reported improved health behaviors and lower caloric intake. Importantly, the high retention rates suggest that a larger study with a longer follow-up period might confirm the effectiveness of this app for weight management.

Pancreatic cysts are a complex medical problem with several treatment options. Patients use web-based health information to understand their conditions and to guide treatment choices.

The goal of this study was to describe the quality and readability of publicly available web-based information on pancreatic cysts and to compare this information across website affiliations.

A Google search for "pancreatic cysts" was performed and the first 30 websites were evaluated. Website affiliations were classified as academic, media, nonprofit, government, or not disclosed. Information describing cancer risk was recorded. The DISCERN instrument measured the quality of content regarding treatment choices. Four standardized tests were used to measure readability.

Twenty-one websites were included. The majority of the websites (20/21, 95%) described the cancer risk associated with pancreatic cysts. Nearly half of the websites were written by an academic hospital or organization. The average DISCERN score for all webformation by providing cancer risk stratification, treatment impact on quality of life, references, and better readability.

Up to 60% of health care providers experience one or more symptoms of burnout. Perceived clinician burden resulting in burnout arises from factors such as electronic health record (EHR) usability or lack thereof, perceived loss of autonomy, and documentation burden leading to less clinical time with patients. Burnout can have detrimental effects on health care quality and contributes to increased medical errors, decreased patient satisfaction, substance use, workforce attrition, and suicide.

This project aims to improve the user-centered design of the EHR by obtaining direct input from clinicians about deficiencies. Fixing identified deficiencies via user-centered design has the potential to improve usability, thereby increasing satisfaction by reducing EHR-induced burnout.

Quantitative and qualitative data will be obtained from clinician EHR users. The input will be received through a form built in a REDCap database via a link embedded in the home page of the EHR. The REDCap data will be analyzed in 2 ider engagement, patient safety, and workflow efficiency will also be captured by evaluation survey and other qualitative methods where possible.

The project aims to improve user-centered design of the EHR by soliciting direct input from clinician EHR users. The ultimate goal is to improve efficiency, reduce EHR inefficiencies with the possibility of improving staff engagement, and lessen EHR-induced clinician burnout. Our project implementation includes using informatics expertise to achieve the desired state of a learning health system as recommended by the National Academy of Medicine as we facilitate feedback loops and rapid cycles of improvement.
