(Press-News.org) The Open Public Health Journal has been Indexed in the Nursing Journal Directory. The Nursing Journal Directory, a joint service of the International Academy of Nursing Editors (INANE) and Nurse Author & Editor, aims to maintain the directory to help authors, related to nursing, to find relevant, reputable journals for publishing their work. Its vetting process for indexing journals draws on the COPE Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing.
The Open Public Health Journal is a peer-reviewed, open access journal which publishes original research articles, reviews/mini-reviews, short articles and guest edited single topic issues in the field of public health. Topics covered in this interdisciplinary journal include: public health policy and practice; theory and methods; occupational health and education; epidemiology; social medicine; health services research; ethics; environmental health; adolescent health; AIDS care; and mental health care.
Dr. Matthias Beck Ph.D. (MIT) serves as the Editor-in-Chief of The Open Public Health Journal.

Advanced brain imaging study hints at how DMT psychedelic alters perception of reality
Scientists have gleaned new insights into how psychedelics alter conscious experience via their action on brain activity.
In a study at Imperial College London, detailed brain imaging data from 20 healthy volunteers revealed how the potent psychedelic compound, DMT (dimethyltryptamine), alters brain function. During the immersive DMT experience there was increased connectivity across the brain, with more communication ...
Human-caused mortality is the leading source of death for mountain lions in California
2023-03-20
California, USA - Mountain lions are protected from hunting in California by a law passed by popular vote in 1990. However, a team of researchers working across the state found that human-caused mortality, primarily involving conflict with humans over livestock and collisions with vehicles, was more common than natural mortality for this protected large carnivore. Their findings were published March 20 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Most research on mountain lions is conducted at relatively small scales, which has limited understanding ...
Oncotarget | Unlocking the potential of molecular-driven stratification of osteosarcoma
2023-03-20
BUFFALO, NY- March 20, 2023 – A new editorial paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on February 11, 2023, entitled, “Unlocking the potential of molecular-driven stratification for osteosarcoma treatment and prognosis.”
Over the last 40 years, the complex genetic landscape, the heterogeneity of the microenvironment and the cell plasticity of Osteosarcoma (OSA) tumors have delayed the therapeutic and prognostic stratification of patients and the introduction of new efficient treatments.
As a direct consequence, the vast majority ...
New research shows “himpathy” towards perpetrators of workplace sexual harassment
2023-03-20
Managers spend much of their time managing conflict and struggle to know how to respond when a ‘he-said-she-said’ workplace dispute occurs. However, a new study shows how employees’ intuitive moral values might give rise to feelings of sympathy toward alleged perpetrators and anger toward their accusing victims. The research, published in this month’s edition of Organization Science, also offers novel insights into what enables perpetrators to go unpunished and why their victims experience backlash for coming forward. ...
Scientists use tardigrade proteins for human health breakthrough
2023-03-20
University of Wyoming researchers’ study of how microscopic creatures called tardigrades survive extreme conditions has led to a major breakthrough that could eventually make life-saving treatments available to people where refrigeration isn’t possible.
Thomas Boothby, an assistant professor of molecular biology, and colleagues have shown that natural and engineered versions of tardigrade proteins can be used to stabilize an important pharmaceutical used to treat people with hemophilia ...
Researchers separate cotton from polyester in blended fabric
2023-03-20
In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers found they could separate blended cotton and polyester fabric using enzymes – nature’s tools for speeding chemical reactions. Ultimately, they hope their findings will lead to a more efficient way to recycle the fabric’s component materials, thereby reducing textile waste.
However, they also found the process need more steps if the blended fabric was dyed or treated with chemicals that increase wrinkle resistance.
“We can separate all of the cotton out of a cotton-polyester blend, meaning now we have clean polyester ...
University of Limerick, Ireland research: Back pain treatment for teens ‘ignores big picture issues’
2023-03-20
New University of Limerick, Ireland research has revealed that most treatments being offered to teenagers with persistent back pain are ‘outdated’ and ignore ‘big picture’ issues.
The study, carried out by researchers at University of Limerick along with colleagues in the UK and Australia, has shown that new approaches to tackling back pain are not being tested among teenagers.
The research, published in the European Journal of Pain, reveals that there is a lack of treatments addressing ...
Updated: AAV Treatment Recommendations
2023-03-20
AAV is a multi-organ disease, which can be complex and may vary from person to person. Types of AAV include granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). This variety can make management challenging. Comorbidities, an individual’s history, toxicities, medication availability and cost, and patient preferences should all be considered in the process of informed decision making.
EULAR first wrote recommendations ...
Real-world studies confirm effectiveness of bulevirtide to treat chronic hepatitis D
2023-03-20
Amsterdam, March 20, 2023 – In 2020, bulevirtide (BLV) was conditionally approved for treating chronic hepatitis delta (CHD), an inflammation of the liver caused by hepatitis D virus (HDV). Now real-world studies of patients treated outside of clinical trials confirm that long-term suppressive therapy with BLV monotherapy has the potential to reduce viral replication and improve liver tests of these difficult-to-treat patients for the first time in 45 years, report investigators in the Journal of Hepatology and its companion journal JHEP Reports.
Two of the studies, led by Pietro Lampertico, MD, PhD, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Foundation IRCCS Ca’ ...
Ultrafast beam-steering breakthrough at Sandia Labs
2023-03-20
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In a major breakthrough in the fields of nanophotonics and ultrafast optics, a Sandia National Laboratories research team has demonstrated the ability to dynamically steer light pulses from conventional, so-called incoherent light sources.
This ability to control light using a semiconductor device could allow low-power, relatively inexpensive sources like LEDs or flashlight bulbs to replace more powerful laser beams in new technologies such as holograms, remote sensing, self-driving cars and high-speed ...
