[Specialist community social services as a form of community social support].

Art. 9 of the Polish Mental Health Act provides two forms of community-based social support--specialist social help services and community self-help houses for persons who, due a to serious mental illness or severe mental retardation, face considerable difficulties in their daily life, especially with respect to interpersonal relations, employment and welfare matters. The first form could only be implemented after coming into force of the suitable regulation of the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy of December 18, 1996 (Dz. U. z 1997 r., nr. 2, poz. 12). Hence, it may be understood that inf

The use of deaf-aid communicators in a Salford Hospital: a failure of communication?

It is estimated that 7.5 million adults in the UK have varying degrees of hearing loss. People with hearing deficits often feel isolated, neglected and can be mistakenly labelled as confused. Responding to this need, ten deaf-aid communicators were purchased for our elderly-care wards. It however became apparent that the aids were being under-used, and to test this observation a survey of ten elderly-care wards was undertaken. Fifty-six nurses were questioned about their knowledge and use of the communicators. Only 32% knew the communicators were on their ward. Of these 32%, only 61% knew wher

Empowering lesbian and gay communities: a call for collaboration with community psychology.

This article traces the history of empowerment efforts in lesbian and gay communities. Despite considerable progress, lesbians and gay men remain marginalized in American society. Their personal, family, and community development is hampered by social and institutional barriers to empowerment. Three powerful disempowering problems of contemporary lesbian and gay communities are detailed: (1) stresses related to coming out; (2) heterosexism; and, (3) difficulties identifying with a community. Four domains are suggested for future collaboration between community psychologists and lesbian/gay com

Implementation of nursing services in community corrections: A community-academic partnership.

Persons who are incarcerated (PWAI) suffer from a disproportionately higher number of physical and mental health conditions. While most jails and prisons provide onsite healthcare, community correctional centers often do not and accessing community healthcare is challenging due to insurance issues, inadequate health literacy, mistrust, and long waits for appointments. A registered nurse-led wellness clinic provides a viable solution to addressing the healthcare needs of PWAI in a community correctional setting. Through a community-academic partnership between a college of nursing and two commu

Community outbreak of legionellosis and an environmental investigation into a community water system.

During two legionellosis outbreak investigations, one at a geriatric centre and the other in high-rise housing for seniors, it was observed that additional cases of legionellosis occurred in nearby smaller residential settings. This apparent geographical cluster of legionellosis occurred in the same general area of a community water storage tank. No potential airborne sources in or near the area could be identified, but a community water system storage tank that was centrally located among case residences spurred an investigation of water-quality factors in the identified investigation area. C

Community ambulation: perceptions of rehabilitation physiotherapists in rural and regional communities.

Research has highlighted the impact of the external environment on the ability to walk in the community but little research exists about the abilities, skills, or contextual factors that physiotherapists identify as important to enable a client to return to walking in their rural or regional community. This article investigates the abilities, skills, and contextual factors that rehabilitation physiotherapists practicing in rural and regional communities in Australia perceive significant in enabling clients post stroke to return to walking in their rural or regional community.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) captures unique profiles of individual cells and uncovers cell-to-cell communication (CCC) through ligand-receptor (LR) interactions. Moreover, it reveals signalling mechanisms underlying cellular heterogeneity and complexity in downstream responses in healthy and disease states. In this work, we developed a composite co…

Bacterial community structure in patagonian Andean Lakes above and below timberline: from community composition to community function.

Lakes located above the timberline are remote systems with a number of extreme environmental conditions, becoming physically harsh ecosystems, and sensors of global change. We analyze bacterial community composition and community-level physiological profiles in mountain lakes located in an altitude gradient in North Patagonian Andes below and above the timberline, together with dissolved organic carbon (DOC) characterization and consumption. Our results indicated a decrease in 71 % of DOC and 65 % in total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) concentration as well as in bacteria abundances along the alt

Community response to the Ebola outbreak: Contribution of community-based organisations and community leaders in four health districts in Guinea.

The major challenges in controlling the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in Guinea were contact tracing, referral of suspected cases, secure burial and mistrust in the context of a weak health system. Community involvement and uptake of key interventions were very low, contributing to the spread of the epidemic. A community engagement project, using community based organisations (CBOs) and community leaders, was implemented in four affected health districts in rural Guinea. This paper reports on the contribution of the CBOs and community leaders in controlling the EVD outbreak. Base-, mid- a

Community-partnered evaluation of depression services for clients of community-based agencies in under-resourced communities in Los Angeles.

BACKGROUND: As medical homes are developing under health reform, little is known regarding depression services need and use by diverse safety-net populations in under-resourced communities. For chronic conditions like depression, primary care services may face new opportunities to partner with diverse community service providers, such as those in social service and substance abuse centers, to support a collaborative care model of treating depression. OBJECTIVE: To understand the distribution of need and current burden of services for depression in under-resourced, diverse communities in Los A

Effect of hypnotic communication on pain during arterial blood gas standardized procedures in the emergency department compared with traditional communication: a triple-blind randomized controlled trial (POPAIN study).

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Although various strategies have been examined to mitigate discomfort during sampling, arterial blood gas (ABG) is a common and often painful procedure in emergency departments (EDs). Hypnotic communication, characterized by positive language/suggestions, may help reduce perceived procedural pain. Conversely, the traditional use of negative language may increase discomfort through a 'nocebo' effect. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether hypnotic communication reduces procedural pain during ABG sampling compared with neutral or nocebo communication, when delivered by emergenc…

Molecular drivers of intercellular communication in physical exercise: insights from omics approaches.

INTRODUCTION: Physical activity enhances overall health by promoting coordinated communication among organs. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a key role in this process by transporting proteins, RNAs, lipids and other molecules that reflect how different tissues respond to physiological stress. Proteomics has been instrumental in clarifying how exercise reshapes EVs, providing insights into their role in mediating intercellular communication and systemic adaptations. AREAS COVERED: Current proteomics of exercise-induced EV remodeling are overviewed and integrated with complementary transcrip…

Islet-exocrine crosstalk in diabetes: Distinguishing whole-pancreas pathology from causal communication.

AIMS: To critically evaluate how communication between the endocrine and exocrine pancreas contributes to diabetes and to distinguish whole-pancreas involvement from mechanistically demonstrated crosstalk. METHODS: We conducted a narrative review of anatomical, imaging, histological, molecular and experimental evidence on endocrine-exocrine communication, prioritising recent primary human and mechanistic studies. RESULTS: Islets and exocrine tissue communicate through local vascular, neural, stromal and extracellular matrix routes. Diabetes is associated with distinct whole-pancreas phenotyp…

Optical Control of Therapeutic Synthetic Cells: Controlling Biomolecule Synthesis, Activation, and Communication.

Synthetic cells are emerging as promising platforms that combine cell-free biomolecule synthesis with the programmability of bottom-up engineered compartments. By decoupling biomolecule production from cellular growth and evolutionary constraints, synthetic cells enable the controlled generation of proteins, nucleic acids, peptides, and signaling molecules within defined artificial environments. However, many envisioned biomedical applications require precise regulation over biomolecule synthesis, activation, transport, release, and communication. In this Review, we examine how light can provi…

Interkingdom communication 2.0: pheromone-based control between Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Microbial communities found in nature are complex and thrive in harmony, consisting of organisms derived from several kingdoms. Hence, they need to be able to communicate by quorum-sensing molecules to co-exist in close proximity. Being able to engineer artificial interkingdom communication for biotechnological approaches, such as degradation of complex biomaterials in one fermenter using controlled signaling between microorganisms, would be beneficial. Therefore, we wanted to establish a proof of principle by enabling the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis to communicate in a controlle…

The Case for Dedicated Vaccine Communication Training: A Survey of Military Pediatricians.

INTRODUCTION: Vaccine uncertainty is rising among families in the United States, even among military families. The ACGME mandates that pediatric residents be trained in effective communication strategies for patients and families hesitant about recommended vaccinations, yet few validated curriculum tools exist. We aimed to understand the current landscape of vaccine uncertainty experienced by military general pediatricians and see what communication strategies were routinely being implemented in clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In March 2025, 45 graduates of a mid-sized military pedi…
